If I but a epic form someone and I don't get a plan is the phone still functionable like wifi and GPS and other things?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes. You'll have to skip activation then switch wifi on and sign into your google account.
Yes wifi and gps will work. Gps will require 3rd party software though. Google maps won't work because you won't have data. google maps will work over wifi if your in an area where wifi is all over the place.

Unless I can find someone that will pay decently for it, I intend to keep mine after I upgrade my contract and use it as a toy .
Would you still be able to make calls, either through Google voice (with a google #), or through skype or some other app? This would essentially allow the phone to operate completely without a phone bill from what I understand. The only issue is being within range of wifi.

I do this on my iTouch(the only Mac device I've ever bought ).
The simple answer is yes. Wifi powered apps can run through wifi while the phone CDMA signal is off (airplane mode?). Without getting too complicated, here's what you need:
1. Google Voice Account
2. Google Voice App (for SMS)
3. Sipgate.com Account (for Free Inbound Calls)
4. Sipdroid App registered with Sipgate account (for Calls)
5. Google Voice Callback (to Connect Free Inbound Sipgate Calls)
4-2. Acrobits Softphone has a built in GV dialer and will replace steps 4 and 5 for about $8
Free messaging and calls on a wifi only Epic. Win.

thats all you need to do is login to your google voice account with the app.. and it makes and receives calls thru wifi, 3G/4G..
I have used it recently when I forgot to pay my sprint bill.. and they cut my phone half way off.. I was still able to make calls using this app..
the app is like 4 dollars..

Nice find! Not a very old app apparently... although I'm curious how it works. Google Voice doesn't have it's own Sip service, it simply connects two numbers together with your Voice # in between. You can call out from Gmail though, so maybe it's making use of that?
Either way, nice!
Thx u guys

Yay! Quoting myself!
Moving on! So anyhow! I figured out how this works. Gmail started allowing calls out from its chat window about 8 months ago or so. Apparently, sometime after that, calls in were also allowed, making your Gmail window a free phone! I had already given up and moved on with a Sip phone and service, which allows you to not always have the Gmail window open to use... lol. But regardless, Groove IP takes advantage of these facts, and now basically pulls in your Google Talk functionality to make and receive calls all by itself!
What this means, is that under phones settings in Google Voice, you will have to enable call forwarding to Google Talk for Groove IP to completely work. Now know this, Google Talk does not use the latest and greatest Codecs for SIP, so it may not carry as good a call quality as using the GV + SIP option, but it certainly is simpler!
And with GV + Sprint integration now live and open, you can make your backup device carry the same number and functionality as your Sprint phone!
I have tried sipgate and the 'text you back' feature hasn't been working for me. Any suggestions?

Acrobits Softphone will allow you to set a SipGate, or any similar SIP account, along with Google Voice as a call out dialer. Using this method, it will essentially dial itself, you'll answer SipGate through the app, and then it will call the other person. This app is available on both IOS and Android now, and was the best setup up until Groove IP. It may still be better, due to the different manners of operation, but the all-in-one solution of Groove is clearly very nice. However, the Softphone method is the best available AIO on IOS.
So I have been looking around here, searching (unsuccessfully) on how to setup Google Voice (GV) to use only data on 3g and wifi. I see no settings in GV or ICS for this. How do I set this up using GV to dial only data and no voice?
Can I simply go to:
Phone (stock app) >Settings > Use Internet Calling > For all calls when data is available
And then:
Google Voice (downloaded App) > Settings > Making Calls > Use Google Voice to Make all calls
Will these settings work successfully or do I need to purchase an app like Groove IP to get the result I am looking for?
I also signed up for an SIP account at sip2sip and tried to configure a SIP account in the phone, but the account wont configure properly on the phone.
Anyways I am all over the place here, some guidance from someone with more knowledge than myself would be great
Thanks!
There's a misconception that Google Voice is a VOIP service. It is not, it is simply a call forwarding service. When someone dials your GV# it simply forwards to one or more other numbers. Downloading the GV app doesn't enable or allow native VOIP calls on the phone.
The only way to get a VOIP solution going with Google Voice is to have it forward calls to Google Talk (what you'd usually do to make and receive calls in GMail), and use an app like GrooVe IP or Talkatone to intercept those and relay them to your phone.
These basic VOIP service layers for GV aren't as good as they sound. They can work quite well when configured properly on WiFi, but don't expect to make quality calls walking down the street on 3G. The codecs they use just require too much consistent bandwidth and don't work well on mobile networks.
There are other more complex SIP systems that you can pay for and have your GV# forward to, but for that I recommend you head to general and read the VOIP thread.

Appreciate it, will take a gander over to the voip.

Hi Quarkboy!
I am using T-mobile $30 plan, grooveip, google voice to do exactly what you describe. I used it this past week in both Boston and Chicago. I have a new to me used not yet unrooted HTC sensation, DL speeds I get 2mbs to 4 mbs. Calls are "clear", I don't and listeners don't hear static, but, everything sounds a little "thin" and "tinny". I plan to try talkatone next.
IMO, the sound quality is not poor enough to abandon grooveip for most calls, but, for an important call I'd probably use plan minutes.
GL!
Yes. If you want it to make all calls, just set it to that. I have used it and confirmed on my bill that it works

You don't have to set up third party programs anymore. You can just set it up though gvoice itself. I'll send screen shots when I get home. I've made two outgoing calls at the same time with it before. The other parties caller I'd shows my gv number. And. It didn't ever charge my minutes. Long story as to why I did it, but I do use gv all the time for visual voice mail. And texting.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
To use the native internet calling, you need to download sipdroid from the market temporarily. Through sipdroid, you can create a free account with pbxes.org with a google voice trunk (not available for free if you directly sign up at pbxes.org).
I'm about to investigate further (just got the $30 100min/5gb plan myself today), but if pbxes.org supports call forwarding if there's no active sip session (or less good, forward after x rings/seconds), you should be able to sign up for another GV/pbxes pair and use that to ring your real phone number. That way, you can have people call one number and always be reachable, and have voip preference to not eat your minutes.
It's a shame you can't do prioritized ringing natively with GV.
Yea. I downloaded Talkatone and I'm glad I did. I'm definitely going to buy the addless license after a week of use. Just have to make sure that I havent missed any problems before purchasing.

Also, I wondered this...
I made an accidental call using Google Voice while using my cell network (not wireless internet) and it rang! So not sure if you get charged using minutes or if its only taken from your data. I wonder if you can receive calls as well.

Yes you do get charged minutes with just gv. Use talkatone to call without minutes. Play around in the settings to get it just right. You know it's right when you can make and receive calls on airplane mode our without the Sim in the phone. Additionally, most importantly make sure to log into the desktop version of gv and forward all calls to google talk.

Interesting. I just signed up and I'm trying to get it set up with the built in Internet Calling features in Android.
If I set Google Voice and Internet Calling to Ask Each Time I get this:
Call with Google Voice > Dials using Cell
Call with Cell > Asks me to chose internet or cell
So that doesn't seem to be what is expected. Although I suppose I could reduce minutes by receiving calls over gv.
Finally, does anyone know if pbxes.org keeps you logged into gtalk on their servers 24/7?
Ok, ive got a new galaxy nexus and its awesome! Im on the tmobile 5gb $30 /MONTH plan and its all I need. But I want to port my number to google voice and utilize the tmobile plan for the internet to connect to google to call. BUT, the problem I see is that SMS (?limit on google voice) and no MMS. So, heres my question;
1: Im setting up google voice with my number (ported) - connected with csipsimple for calling and receiving. This seems to be the best solution for this at the moment where when MY number gets called my tmobile "fake" number gets the buzz and when I call - the recipient gets MY REAL number. Is this still the best method?
2. SMS I understand through google voice or google or whatever is possibly unlimited. But is there an app out there or CMW flash that allows me to "fake" the number on outgoing texs/mms so anyone who recieves them from my "fake" phone sees the number from my REAL phone?
- Either that or a service that allows that feature?
OR
Is there a better method to get my number to google voice and have full VOIP (making/receiving) AND to utilize simple to use (preferably native sms app) to text sms/mms? Im open to ideas!
Thanks guys,
Rico

It's definitely a method. There's no perfect method when you're dealing with GV and VOIP solutions. Its gonna kinda be a hacked together job no matter how you do it.

SMS is unlimited. MMS isn't supported with GV. There are some (root req'd) apps that will integrate your GV SMS messages into the native Messaging app, otherwise you can just use the GV app and not deal with that stuff.

There's no way to get MMS on Google Voice. Just how it is. And like I said before, there's no perfect way to set up GV + VOIP apps. Its all a little rough trying to get it together. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755

Ok - if google voice will be hard to accomplish with SMS/MMS are there ANY mobile phone portable VOIP service that does support sms/mms? Thanks
I dont care if I have to pay a little more for the feature - I just want some service to port my number to so I can jump around on tmobile att simplymobile or straight talk if I need to. Any thoughts?

I don't think any of them support MMS. Some may support SMS. Google Voice really is the best option honestly if you don't wanna mess around with other solutions. It kinda just works. You just lose MMS on your native #. You'll always have your current carrier # to receive MMS if you really need to...
I certainly am interested in this idea as well. Thank you for all the links and info.
A few months ago I found several incomplete resources on the web to set up Google Voice as your voice mail service instead of using your carrier. In the case of Verizon, I was even more disgusted to pay $2.99 per line per month for a service that should be included with every smartphone. This guide is intended to be a more complete solution to using Google Voice as your voice mail service on Verizon.
Why Google Voice?
- Integrated FREE visual voice mail on your Galaxy Nexus (don’t pay Big Red more than you have to). Access from your call log or the Google Voice app.
- Transcripts of the message e-mailed to you (the translation is not very accurate, but you can get the main point of the message in most cases before you listen to it).
- Access your voicemail on your phone, tablet, or web browser.
Setup:
1. If you haven’t already, request a Google Voice number from http://bit.ly/obMhcy (Don't port your number, just get a new one from Google - porting your number from Verizon to Google Voice will cancel your Verizon service).
2. Once you have your Google Voice number, install the Google Voice app on your phone http://bit.ly/QDySzs
3. Once all signed in to the Google Voice app, you are ready to set up FREE visual voicemail on your Galaxy Nexus.
4. Go to your Phone app settings (not Google Voice, but the actual Phone app that makes your phone a phone). Under “Other Call Settings” is a “voicemail” option, open that. Under “Service” select Google Voice. You will get a pop up warning that your carrier cannot be autoconfigured, but just acknowledge the warning and continue on. To make this function on Verizon, you need to setup a “Number Busy/No Answer Call”, also known as conditional call forwarding by following this simple step:
Dial *71 [Your GV #] then hit Send — (*71-###-###-#### then Send)
You’ll hear a few beeps and then you’ll automatically be disconnected. This is a free Verizon calling feature that reroutes an unanswered call to the 10-digit number provided after the *71, which is your Google Voice number in this case. Make a test call to your cell phone number from another phone to make sure all is working – you can set up your personal message later.
Now, anybody that calls your cell phone (GV or regular cell number) will be redirected to your Google Voice voicemail. This way you can keep your Verizon phone number and still manage voicemail online (replay/save messages to your computer) and get transcriptions.
There are options on the Google Voice web interface to record a personal message, which can be different depending on who is calling. For example, a message for friends, one for work, etc. The Google Voice settings page is also where you set up your account to receive e-mail notifications of voicemails with transcripts, etc.
Don't forget to cancel your Verizon VVM subscription once this is complete and working, and uninstall yet another Verizon app from your Nexus device. :good:
Thanks OP! As someone who has used Google Voice for a few years I fully support this thread.
I ran this since Google Voice was in beta on VZW. No other way to have it.

And if your plan supports it, add your GV # to your Friends & Family list to make voicemail airtime free (won't use minutes)

The VMs are downloaded and stored in the app via data, you wont ever have to call VM again.
I believe you are thinking of the old trick, change the GV settings to show your GV# instead of the callers #.

Actually, I'm thinking that rather than burn data-bytes, I just reprogram the phone to call my GV# when I press and hold 1. By listing it in F&F, it's a free call, doesn't use data and works exactly like my carrier's VM.
Google voice has been working great for me for a couple months and is a huge step up from regular voicemail.... Highly recommended! Thanks for the guide.

Yeah but doesn't that defeat the purpose? If you're going to do that why not use the carriers VM? And I cant imagine that downloading a voice mail message uses much data. Oh well, to each his own.

Set up phone as per instructions, don't have to do the *71 part. I've been doing this for a couple years now, and I tend to flash a different rom a few times a week, no problems.

Have gv ring all numbers when a call comes in. No matter which is dialed, no matter which is in use, you'll get the call. Been working that way for me for a couple years. Texting the vz number will incur a charge, but that's about it. Only extra charges I see are from those texts. No cost if texts go to gv number.

It seems like there must be someway...the thing has a cellular radio in it already. I figure maybe AT&T had them modified to only operate on data.
I'm using a workaround currently and packing the g pad 7.0 as my only device and loving it. But I would love to just have the functionality without the trade-offs.

I appreciate your response. That actually won't solve my issue. I can receive sms to my hangouts messenger but can't send text to other phone numbers from that app. I've only been able to send text from the at&t messenger.
As far as calling, the hangouts dialer is my choice for making calls at the moment. It's a dirty workaround too though. I have my at&t calls forwarded to a talkatone # that rings my tab. But when dialing from my tab I can only show unknown number or my talkatone #.
It works, it's just ugly. Really enjoying the g pad, just want to squeeze every drop out of it.

I think something is misconfigured, I have no issue sending and receiving texts, or making and receiving calls on my G Tab via hangouts. From what I remember, talkatone uses your google voice number, so it would be redundant to use it. You're not going to be able to have outgoing calls show as your cell number only your google voice (talkatone) number.

Hmmm, maybe so. I do not have a Google voice # but picked one out from talkatone. I wonder if I could just port that # to Google voice and scrub talkatone then?
As far as the sms problem, I can send instant messages to anyone in my Google contacts and any sms sent to my cell number will show in hangouts. But any time I've tried to reply or initiate sms to a phone # through hangouts it just gives me a "sending..." but never does. It's actually the same with another favorite sms app, Hello Sms, I receive texts just fine, but cannot send from that app.

It's actually the same with another favorite sms app, Hello Sms, I receive texts just fine, but cannot send from that app.

Set up a Google Voice number and set hangouts as your default for sending and receiving SMS, hangouts dialer will make and receive phone calls from the same number
