RE: google voice

[Cristóbal]

Yes. One of the things I wish would be included in Google  Voice is to set a 
schedule  for do not disturb. I  could have swarn that this was possible a few 
years ago, but I’ve poked  around settings on the webpage and apps and it seems 
that you can only toggle  on  and off.

Hello all,

Can any of you who have updated to the latest version of the Google Voice app 
please let me know if it is still possible to toggle do not disturb on and off. 
When I updated the android version of that app that feature seems to of 
disappeared and I don't want to lose it hence the reason I have not updated the

Hello Ann,

I am replying to you, on-list.  

I am a long time user and fan of Google Voice.  Be that as it may, I have not 
used the iOS app in many years choosing instead to use my Windows PC via 
Internet Explorer.

What I can tell you is that, currently, even for those of us with some residual 
vision, generally speaking, Google Voice is a mess.  

Without getting into the histrionics, Google Voice is slowly being phased out 
as we know it, in favor of hardware solutions such as Android devices and 
software alternatives such as Google Hangouts.  

This may sound crazy but, when one browses to Voice.google.com 
<http://voice.google.com/> , one cannot call a new number but only a number 
that has been dialed before.  This is from the official Google help page.  Is 
that not crazy?  Of course, there are several workarounds the easiest being to 
bring up Legacy mode.  Doing this will bring up a browser window that present 
Google Voice in the classic view that we have all come to know and love.  

Again, I have not tested the official Google app on iOS in some years but find 
it difficult to believe that it is not VoiceOver accessible; however, I'll take 
your word for it.  

Bottom line, at present, I prefer using Google voice on my Samsung Galaxy S6 
where the interface is seamless.  When that is not convenient, I simply browse 
to voice.google.com <http://voice.google.com/>  and from the site's menu 
option, select Legacy Mode. 

While I realize that I have not provided any answers, I hope you will feel 
better to learn that everyone, sighted and blind, alike, are struggling with 
Google Voice as Google forces the service into a new format.  

Good Luck,

Mark

Re: google voice

hi Mark,
hangouts is certainly accessible. I use it for just over a year, and 
like it. it is better in terms of layout on android, but that is not an 
accessibility point, it's a personal view.

Hello Jennifer,

It's good to learn that the Hangouts app for iOS is VoiceOver accessible.

I'll be honest, I only explored Hangouts when it was first launched and found 
it extremely confusing, for some reason.  That was several years ago.

I remember that when I set it up, it messed up my settings that I had 
configured on the web so I deleted it.

Now that the web version of both Hangouts and Google Voice are less strait 
forward, perhaps I'll give it another shot.

Thanks for confirming it's VoiceOver accessibility,

Mark

Re: google voice

[Deb Lewis]

I think the original question here was about setting up the account
itself. As I recall, you can't do that from within the app, it has to
be done on a PC. That was years ago and I remember that it was a bit
tricky but worked best with NVDA. As for using the number, the Google
Voice and Hangouts apps are both accessible enough for this. But
creating the account was challenging at that time, I can't comment on
doing it now.

RE: google voice

[Cristóbal]

The Google Voice  app is in fact quite accessible. Been using it for years. 
They even put out a major update a few weeks ago enhancing features. GVConnect 
is also good and I’ve even used Google Voice through the hangOuts app.

For the web, hangouts.google.com is where you can go to interact with texts and 
 whatnot.

Generally though, I find Google Voice to work better with Firefox. Although, 
making calls is better with IE as there’s an issue with the timer constantly 
being updated  and spoken by Jaws if you’re a Jaws user with Windows.

I use GV for my business and personal use.

and Hangouts apps are, indeed, VoiceOver accessible?  Interesting.

Also, do you use both the apps?  If so, in what way do they differ?  

As for Google phasing out the classic view/use of Google Voice:  I am the one 
who posted this to the list.

Without going into great detail, my Google Voice account has been updated to 
the latest web UI, no doubt because I updated to the latest version of Google 
Voice on my Android phone.  

As I mentioned in a previous post, this update has greatly changed some basic 
features now available in the web UI.  Because I use the web version of GV on a 
daily basis, I was extremely frustrated in the dramatic change and, as a 
result, contacted Google as well as reading seemingly endless amounts of white 
papers that Google has posted to the web regarding the latest changes to Google 
Voice.  Somewhere, and I cannot recall the location, they clearly stated that 
they were phasing out the classic Google Voice UI in favor of a more, modern, 
consistent user experience reflecting, or attempting to more precisely reflect, 
the Android experience across multiple platforms.

I did not write that they were phasing out Google Voice, as a service, but 
merely the classic web interface.

Mark

not very accessible to use. I am curious in what you have seen that is not 
accessible?

Yes, I also use Hangout in conjunction with Google Voice. They work together 
great as mentioned in the last comment. Placing a phone call from Hang Out is 
easy and I also receive text message via Hangout as well.

Somebody mentioned that Google Voice was being phased out? I had not heard 
about this and would like to know more about this as I use Google Voice quite a 
bit. That would be a real shame if that is true. I thought I heard that it was 
the other way around. For some reason, I thought I heard that Hangout was being 
phased out and that they have stop 3rd party of being able to use the Hangout 
API's. They were going with a new direction. So, any information about Google 
Voice being phased out would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Thomas

RE: google voice

[M. Taylor]

Hello Cliff and thank you for this information.

I had completely forgotten about the GV Connect app, for iOS.  I am glad to 
learn that it is VoiceOver accessible.  

As for the official Google Voice app, I strongly suggest that you and others 
write a review in the App Store requesting better VoiceOver accessibility.

Be sure to paste in the text of your review, here, and request that others 
support your efforts.

I also suggest that you contact Google on Twitter via their handle which is 
@Google.

I to have been using google voice for some time now.  The official google voice 
app is not accessible, but an app called “GV connect” is very accessible.  You 
can make calls, send and receive texts, you can even look at your outgoing and 
incoming call history.  That being said, I just went to google.com/voice on my 
Mac and PC, and both platforms allowed me to sign up for a new GV number.  
Aside from that, I don’t use the web for anything else because the GV connect 
app I mentioned above does everything else.  On a side note, when ever you text 
someone from the GV connect app, it will show up in that app, and will also 
show up in your messages app.  Now when it shows up in your messages app, it 
will sign a random number to it that you have never seen before, but will be 
followed by the persons original number.  I use that number to my advantage, 
locking it under that persons contact as a GV number, so when I call or text 
them, my google voice number is the one that shows up.  HTH.

What I can tell you is that, currently, even for those of us with some residual

Without getting into the histrionics, Google Voice is slowly being phased out 
as we know it, in favor of hardware solutions such as Android devices and

This may sound crazy but, when one browses to Voice.google.com, one cannot call 
a new number but only a number that has been dialed before.  This is from the 
official Google help page.  Is that not crazy?  Of course, there are several 
workarounds the easiest being to bring up Legacy mode.  Doing this will bring 
up a browser window that present Google Voice in the classic view that we have

Again, I have not tested the official Google app on iOS in some years but find 
it difficult to believe that it is not VoiceOver accessible; however, I'll take 
your word for it.  

Bottom line, at present, I prefer using Google voice on my Samsung Galaxy S6 
where the interface is seamless.  When that is not convenient, I simply browse 
to voice.google.com and from the site's menu option, select Legacy Mode. 

While I realize that I have not provided any answers, I hope you will feel 
better to learn that everyone, sighted and blind, alike, are struggling with 
Google Voice as Google forces the service into a new format.  

Good Luck,

Re: Google Voice

[Joseph Hudson]

Hi Maria, I don't believe this feature is clearly all available yet. Which 
means, if you won't line you want to find somebody with a regular computer, and 
they will need to sign your Gmail account and the creation process is very 
easy. Dennet is on IOS through a web browser. So far to make mine. On my Mac.

RE: Google voice question

[Kliphton Senior]

Set the default greeding as your business one.  If you want your contacts to
hear a different one, you will have to put them in groups, and set the
message for each group of contacts.


Are you a Christian?  Looking for a convenient bible study?  Do you have
Skype?  Well I host a fun, easy to follow bible study on skype.  If you'd
like to join us, just contact me.

Hope you can join us!

Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a Google voice phone number for my business. My
question is, I know that I can sit personalize greetings for contacts, but,
how do I set an outgoing message that collars or not in my contact list will
receive? I want to make sure the incoming clients receive the outgoing
business message.

Thank you, and I hope this question makes sense Beth

Thanks so much for the details. I guess I will have to find something else soon

Hi, just to be clear, it's not that Google Voice is disabling third party apps, 
they are disabling the XMPP usage by third party apps because they are going to 
the Google Hangouts platform I believe. So, if the third-party app uses XMPP, 
then yes, it will stop working in May 2014. For example, people like you and me 
who have an unlocked phone bridge from Obihai, called the Obi Talk, and use it 
as a home phone service with Google Voice, will need to find a different 
solution very soon. I believe that apps like Talkatone which use Google Talk to 
make and receive Google Voice calls will also stop working. Apps like GV 
Connect which use Talkatone as a backbone to make data only calls via Google 
Voice will also stop working. I can only hope that the texting service that GV 
Connect uses to get the messages to and from Google Voice isn't using XMPP. 
Otherwise, it too will stop working. I asked the GV Connect developer about 
this and he seems to be confident that it will continue to work, minus the 
Talkatone access of course.

RE: Google Voice And 3rd Party Apps

[Cristóbal]

I saw a couple of postings earlier this morning about Google's plans to kill 
off Voice and incorperate its features into hangouts.
http://9to5google.com/2014/03/18/google-plans-kill-google-voice-in-months-integrate-features-into-hangouts/
I suppose it was kind of expected the way Hangouts was being more and more 
emphasized and GV features being gradually added to hangouts. One can only hope 
that however it gets sorted out that the Hangouts iOS app becomes accessible. 
The latest hangouts update made what little accessibility there was disappear.

I guess we can only wait and see to what Google finally does and what the 
finished Voice integration into hangouts looks like. That and reach out to 
Google to request that whatever solution they finally come up with has 
accessibility out of the gate.

Re: Google Voice And 3rd Party Apps

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, just to be clear, it's not that Google Voice is disabling third 
party apps, they are disabling the XMPP usage by third party apps 
because they are going to the Google Hangouts platform I believe. So, if 
the third-party app uses XMPP, then yes, it will stop working in May 
2014. For example, people like you and me who have an unlocked phone 
bridge from Obihai, called the Obi Talk, and use it as a home phone 
service with Google Voice, will need to find a different solution very 
soon. I believe that apps like Talkatone which use Google Talk to make 
and receive Google Voice calls will also stop working. Apps like GV 
Connect which use Talkatone as a backbone to make data only calls via 
Google Voice will also stop working. I can only hope that the texting 
service that GV Connect uses to get the messages to and from Google 
Voice isn't using XMPP. Otherwise, it too will stop working. I asked the 
GV Connect developer about this and he seems to be confident that it 
will continue to work, minus the Talkatone access of course.

Re: Google Voice And 3rd Party Apps

Thanks so much for the details. I guess I will have to find something else 
soon as I use the Talkatone app and the OBI100 device. Plenty of texting 
apps out there, but I haven't found any that will allow you to call out for 
free. Some allow you to receive calls for FREE, but not call out. Anyone 
know of any free apps that will allow a person to make phone calls, or at 
least any that won't drain the bank account? Anyone had luck with the Majic 
Jack app?

Subject: Google Voice and jailbreaking - Was Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

Hello Melissa and all interested. Basically it's like this, you can set up a
free Google Voice number at http://voice.google.com and forward it to your
iPhone number, or any other number by choice. In my case, my real cell
iPhone number is the primary number it forwards to. This means that when
people call my GV number, it rings my cell phone. If I want to call that
person back, or make outgoing calls which appear from my GV number rather
than my real cell number, I have to either use a direct dial method or call
back method via the Google Voice App or my favorite, GV Connect. Normally
that is fine, and in most cases no problem. However if I am texting with
someone, or if I see a number on a web page or if someone puts their number
in an email, I can't just simply tap the number and call it and it come from
my GV number. This is where jailbreaking and the Call on GV Pro and SMS on
GV tweaks come into play. 
With Call on GV Pro, it fully integrates my GV number into the iPhone so
that outgoing calls can be from my GV number. You choose the method of
dialing out so you always use GV, or the tweak asks you if you want to
choose carrier calls. It's completely flexible. Now for texting, when you
have a GV number, it can be used to send texts back and forth with it.
Normal SMS can be sent, but not MMS, which is used for pictures, videos, and
audio. Again, if I want to text back and forth to and from my GV number and
all outgoing texts need to show my GV number to hide my real cell number, I
have to either use Google Voice app, or GV Connect. 
Another way is you can have Google forward all texts to your real cell and
they are assigned a gateway number which is associated with that contact.
This is very good the way it works, but let's say that someone with number
832-555-1234 writes me. I'll see an incoming text which shows 504-221-1922
and then the text shows 832-555-1234 followed by the text. As long as I
respond to that 504 number, it will automatically forward to the real 832
number which wrote me. Again, not a big deal if I add that 504 into my
contacts. I can even call it like normal, and the call will originate from
my GV number. However again, if you want to initiate a text message, you
have to use a Google Voice or GV Connect app. So, here comes jailbreaking
and SMS on GV. It fully integrates the sms experience with my iPhone and so
all I have to do is text someone like normal to their regular number and the
incoming text they will see will be from my gv number. This also has the
advantage that if another app sends out a text on your behalf, like sharing
information, it will originate from your GV number.

I hope this helps, and if I can explains things further, please write me off
list.

PS, a while back I wrote up a setup article on how to do all what I
describe. The article is a bit outdated now since it was for iOS 5 I
believe, but much of the same information applies. If I get requests off
list, I can send that article to people. Again, off list for this.

 below no longer seem important.

 iOS added the control center. Much of this functionality used to be done
 with SBSettings, now the Control Center takes care of that.

 iOS added the ability to block callers via messages, phone, or Facetime.
 Previously you had to use a jailbreak tweak to get this functionality.

 iOS added ability for more than 12 apps per folder. Again, jailbreak

 were needed to get this.

You have to have a gmail account. If you do, then just go to

you may need sighte help to get past the captcha. Someone else could correct
me on this as it's been a while since I went through the process of setting

Google vvoice numbers are great. I have a total of three. Two business and

The official Google voice iOS app is accessible and other third party apps

I understand the article, but I'm not sure I understand your message. 
Google Voice already allows for calls and texting. Furthermore, you can 
make calls now with Google Hangouts and you'll be able to make texts 
from Google Hangouts after they work out some details with the carriers.

Re: google voice on the I Phone

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm not sure I'm going to be of much help. I tried doing this with Orca 
and Firefox, and I couldn't get into the right tab. Using Chrome and 
ChromeVox, I was able to do it however. I went to voice.google.com, 
which should be the same page you got to. There's a settings pull down 
right above your list of calls. The first option here is these 
Settings. If you can click on that, a series of tabs will show up a few 
lines below that pull down. The third tab over is Call and the option 
you want in the call tab is call screening. Turn this off, and you'll be 
good to go. Like I said, I'm not sure how to get there with your Windows 
browsers and screen readers, although Chrome and ChromeVox will work in 
Windows, but that's probably overkill for this one task. Maybe another 
Windows user can help out here.

Re: google voice on the I Phone

[Raul A. Gallegos]

I do not know if this will help you right now, but I am in the process of 
recording how to change settings for Google voice using their website. 
Essentially you have to go into the settings and then the call tab. There is a 
setting called screen calls. You need to turn that off. I can give you some 
tips with window eyes however. Turn off auto load with insert plus a. Then turn 
browse mode off. Then tab until you get to the settings pulldown. Press space 
to activate. Then press down arrow until it says settings. Now press enter and 
the settings section will load. The first section is the phones section. You 
will have to use the mouse pointer to click the one to the right of it for 
calls. There are a couple of radio buttons to screen the calls and the default 
is on. Set it to off and then press enter on save. Note that you can also do 
this from an iPhone app called GV connect. This app is $2.99 but is far better 
than the free Google voice app for the iPhone. In the settings for this app you 
can also turn on and off the call screening feature.

Hi there. That is the call monitoring feature. It is enabled by default, but 
depending on your situation some people turn it off. For example, the Google 
voice number that I use as a home phone has that feature turned off. This 
way when people call the house, the phones ringing like normal and people 
answer like normal. When this feature is enabled, people who are not in your 
Google contact list will be prompted to speak their name. When your phone 
rings, you will then be given the chance to take the call by pressing one, 
or sending the call to Boyceville by pressing too. Some people find this 
okay while others do not like it.

Another feature I like about Google voice is that it will perform voice
recognition on any messages left in your voice mail and send you a text
or email with the transcription in it. It isn't perfect, but it's a
quick way to let you know if you need to worry about the message or not.

As others have mentioned, when someone calls my Google Voice number, my
cell phone, land line and office phones will all ring. I can decide
which phone I want to use to take the call.

I don't use these features myself, but you can decide if you'll answer a
call or send it to voice mail. You can even listen to someone leaving
the voice mail and decide to pick it up. You can also pick up the call
on one phone, say your land line phone, and then pick it up on your cell
phone as well, such as if you're going out the door during the call.

Re: google voice

[Alan Paganelli]

Before I got rid of Google voice, it did work that way.  If you blocked that 
number their calls automatically heard the old the number you have reached 
is no longer in service thing.  The caller never knew they had been blocked. 
When a call did come in you could either answer it or wait.  If you waited, 
the call would switch over to voice mail.  In settings, you could set how 
long it rang before going to voice mail.  If the caller left a voice 
message, you were sent an email informing you of new voice mail.


I got an email from Google informing me that if I wasn't using Google voice 
that I could keep my account and give up the phone number and could get a 
new number at any time by logging into my Google voice account and picking a 
new number.

I do, you have to be pretty quick on the trigger to answer it from your 
iPhone, it's a bit easier to do from a landline however, I've not one around 
 haven't had one around in nie on 10 years now.

Do you have it to where when you answer a call it will tell you who is 
calling and then you can hit buttons to either reject call, send the call 
to voice mail, answer the call, etc?? I am asking this because people tell 
me that they are asked for their name and then it will attempt to connect 
them, but when I answer, it never tells me who is calling. I am guessing I 
have something configure incorrectly but I can't figure out what. Any

Another feature I like about Google voice is that it will perform voice
recognition on any messages left in your voice mail and send you a text
or email with the transcription in it. It isn't perfect, but it's a
quick way to let you know if you need to worry about the message or not.

As others have mentioned, when someone calls my Google Voice number, my
cell phone, land line and office phones will all ring. I can decide
which phone I want to use to take the call.

I don't use these features myself, but you can decide if you'll answer a
call or send it to voice mail. You can even listen to someone leaving
the voice mail and decide to pick it up. You can also pick up the call
on one phone, say your land line phone, and then pick it up on your cell
phone as well, such as if you're going out the door during the call.

Re: google voice

I'm sorry, I was addressing Christopher Chaltain, about the
ability to answer a call or send it to voice mail, listen to someone leaving
the voice mail or deciding to answer the call. I use the OBI100 and am 
supposed to get this when I pick up my phone, but I don't get these 
options.

Re: google voice

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi there. That is the call monitoring feature. It is enabled by default, but 
depending on your situation some people turn it off. For example, the Google 
voice number that I use as a home phone has that feature turned off. This way 
when people call the house, the phones ringing like normal and people answer 
like normal. When this feature is enabled, people who are not in your Google 
contact list will be prompted to speak their name. When your phone rings, you 
will then be given the chance to take the call by pressing one, or sending the 
call to Boyceville by pressing too. Some people find this okay while others do 
not like it.

Go to http://voice.google.com and sign in. Then choose settings. There are 
different categories and one of them is calls. You can turn it on or off from 
there. The website can be a bit tricky to use if you are not used to it, I can

if you use another one.

I don't use these features myself, but you can decide if you'll answer a
call or send it to voice mail. You can even listen to someone leaving
the voice mail and decide to pick it up. You can also pick up the call
on one phone, say your land line phone, and then pick it up on your cell
phone as well, such as if you're going out the door during the call.

Go to http://voice.google.com and sign in. Then choose settings. There are 
different categories and one of them is calls. You can turn it on or off

Hi there. That is the call monitoring feature. It is enabled by default, 
but depending on your situation some people turn it off. For example, the 
Google voice number that I use as a home phone has that feature turned 
off. This way when people call the house, the phones ringing like normal 
and people answer like normal. When this feature is enabled, people who 
are not in your Google contact list will be prompted to speak their name. 
When your phone rings, you will then be given the chance to take the call 
by pressing one, or sending the call to Boyceville by pressing too. Some 
people find this okay while others do not like it.

computer, and I can help you walk through this. Perhaps it would help. In 
any case, you can write me off list to pursue this further if you're 
interested. Also, the Skype ID I use for the computer is raul_gallegos.

Go to http://voice.google.com and sign in. Then choose settings. There 
are different categories and one of them is calls. You can turn it on or 
off from there. The website can be a bit tricky to use if you are not 
used to it, I can easily do it using Window Eyes, so I imagine other 
screen readers should work if you use another one.

Hi there. That is the call monitoring feature. It is enabled by 
default, but depending on your situation some people turn it off. For 
example, the Google voice number that I use as a home phone has that 
feature turned off. This way when people call the house, the phones 
ringing like normal and people answer like normal. When this feature is 
enabled, people who are not in your Google contact list will be 
prompted to speak their name. When your phone rings, you will then be 
given the chance to take the call by pressing one, or sending the call 
to Boyceville by pressing too. Some people find this okay while others 
do not like it.

Another feature I like about Google voice is that it will perform 
voice
recognition on any messages left in your voice mail and send you a 
text

or email with the transcription in it. It isn't perfect, but it's a
quick way to let you know if you need to worry about the message or 
not.


As others have mentioned, when someone calls my Google Voice number, 
my

cell phone, land line and office phones will all ring. I can decide
which phone I want to use to take the call.

I don't use these features myself, but you can decide if you'll answer 
a

call or send it to voice mail. You can even listen to someone leaving
the voice mail and decide to pick it up. You can also pick up the call
on one phone, say your land line phone, and then pick it up on your 
cell

phone as well, such as if you're going out the door during the call.

Hello there. You will probably get other answers and so far I have 
read two other messages on this. It is not exactly a VoIP number, 
instead it is a virtual number. This means that for the most part if 
you have it forwarding to your cell phone number, when you make and 
receive calls to or from your Google voice number it will still use 
your cell phone minutes. You can of course use apps like talkatone to 
make data voice calls. One advantage of Google voice is that if you 
use it to text message, the messages are On the Google voice website 
and are virtually stored forever. Or at least as long as you want them 
to. In any case, a lot longer and easier to manage than the messages 
app on the phone. Another advantage is that if you get an incoming 
call through your Google voice number, you can record the phone call. 
This will play a message that all parties will here so they know they 
are being recorded. This comes in handy and of course you can later 
retrieve it from the Google voice website. There are many more 
advantages and I could go on forever and ever since I am a huge fan of 
Google voice. However I will mention one last advantage and say no 
more unless others are interested. I have an ObiTalk Phone bridge 
adapter. With this adapter I can make it so it uses Google voice as 
it's line. That means that my home phone is actually a Google voice 
number and I don't have to pay for home phone service. As long as I 
have this adapter connected to the Internet and configured, then I get 
free phone service.

You have to associate the numbers you want to ring with your Google

Re: google voice

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi. It's accessible but kind of odd to reach. With window eyes I go out of 
browse mode and tab several times past the inbox. There is a pulldown menu 
which when selected will give me the choice of settings. I press enter on 
settings and the page reloads with the settings section. In the settings 
section there are various tabs like phone, voice mail and text, account 
settings, and widgets. The phone section is where you choose what phones you 
want to add to your number for the instant call forwarding. I believe this is 
also the section where you can edit the type of phones that you add. The next 
tab for calls is where you can choose to have the call filtering on or off. In 
order to use Google voice as a land line with a phone bridge, it is recommended 
that you have this feature turned off. Speaking of a phone bridge, in order to 
use it successfully, you don't actually forward your Google voice number to a 
real phone number. Instead you have the Google talk choice enabled. It is the 
Google talk feature which does the actual routing to your phone bridge. I am 
willing to do a podcast on this if it will help some.

 Hi there. If you're interested perhaps we can connect on Skype on the

 case, you can write me off list to pursue this further if you're interested. 
 Also, the Skype ID I use for the computer is raul_gallegos.

 Go to http://voice.google.com and sign in. Then choose settings. There are 
 different categories and one of them is calls. You can turn it on or off 
 from there. The website can be a bit tricky to use if you are not used to 
 it, I can easily do it using Window Eyes, so I imagine other screen readers

 Hi there. That is the call monitoring feature. It is enabled by default, 
 but depending on your situation some people turn it off. For example, the 
 Google voice number that I use as a home phone has that feature turned off. 
 This way when people call the house, the phones ringing like normal and 
 people answer like normal. When this feature is enabled, people who are not 
 in your Google contact list will be prompted to speak their name. When your 
 phone rings, you will then be given the chance to take the call by pressing 
 one, or sending the call to Boyceville by pressing too. Some people find 
 this okay while others do not like it.

 Hello there. You will probably get other answers and so far I have 
 read two other messages on this. It is not exactly a VoIP number, 
 instead it is a virtual number. This means that for the most part if 
 you have it forwarding to your cell phone number, when you make and 
 receive calls to or from your Google voice number it will still use 
 your cell phone minutes. You can of course use apps like talkatone to 
 make data voice calls. One advantage of Google voice is that if you 
 use it to text message, the messages are On the Google voice website 
 and are virtually stored forever. Or at least as long as you want them 
 to. In any case, a lot longer and easier to manage than the messages 
 app on the phone. Another advantage is that if you get an incoming 
 call through your Google voice number, you can record the phone call. 
 This will play a message that all parties will here so they know they 
 are being recorded. This comes in handy and of course you can later 
 retrieve it from the Google voice website. There are many more 
 advantages and I could go on forever and ever since I am a huge fan of 
 Google voice. However I will mention one last advantage and say no 
 more unless others are interested. I have an ObiTalk Phone bridge 
 adapter. With this adapter I can make it so it uses Google voice as 
 it's line. That means that my home phone is actually a Google voice 
 number and I don't have to pay for home phone service. As long as I 
 have this adapter connected to the Internet and configured, then I get 
 free phone service.

Basically google voice gives you a number which if you have an app on your

number. I use mine so I can throw it out there to listeners as a tip line  
don't have to give out my cell number. You can also have it forwarded to any 
phone number that you may have so that you can answer it there. So, let's 
say you've added your iPhone, your home phone,  perhaps one more, it'll 
ring them all  you can answer it anywhere. Hope that this helps.

from this number.

When someone calls your Google Voice number, you can have it ring
several numbers, such as your home number, your office number and your
mobile number. You can answer the call from any of these phones. You can
also go into the Google Voice app and place a call from this number.

You can check your voice mail with a phone, web site or the Google Voice
app. Google voice also performs speech recognition on the message, so
you can just read the text of the message someone left you.

Hi Stacey, no there is not. iMessages works via the Apple ID, but text
messages work via your cell phone carrier. Now, if you have a Google
Voice number and you are using a Google Voice app, then you can get
text
messages to either device, but it wouldn't be in the same messages
app.

Re: Google Voice (was) Messages on iPhone and iPad

[Tara Prakash]

Yes, it is. It will work only in the US and only US numbers can be ported. 
The process is pretty simple if I recall correctly.

Re: Google Voice

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, if your contacts are living only in your iPHone, and not in the 
cloud, you should still be able to use them, but you will have to use 
the GV Connect App. I personally find it superior to the free Google 
Voice app. However if you want to get your contacts into Google itself, 
you can go to http://contacts.google.com and sign in, then you can 
import them from a csv file. It may take some work, but once you have it 
done, it's very nice. I took it a step further and just have my iPhone 
sync contacts from Google and so if I ever restore my phone, or upgrade 
it, or change it, I can just sync from Google again and all my contacts 
are there for voice, email, and whatever else.


Good luck.
