I don't know this app, so I could be way off base here, but I'd imagine you 
have to actually navigate to the send button with the Braille display and 
activate it there.


Thanks,

 Hi all. So I have google voice. Over the years, I've used Talkatone, the GV
 app, and GV Connect. While GV Connect does have plenty of features, it does
 not automatically dxnload messages. The Google voice shows notifications but
 isn't as featureful as I'd like. I would use textnow, but my gv number is
 what people know, and its what I like using. So how do people use GV on iOS?
 BTW, voicemac on Mac OS works great for GV, which is how I know greatness
 can be done, but app devs just don't seem to care much, it would seem.

RE: not satisfied with google voice apps.

2014-09-14 Thread Cristóbal
Yes, but TalkATone requires a totally separate number and is a different 
service all together. When they lost GV support back in May, I dropped the app 
from my phone. It would be something even worth considering, but if you’ve 
already have a GV number, it’s probably not worth the hasstle. Besides, GV is 
very convenient with being able to forward texts and voicemails to your cell 
number or email address.

Google Voice app and GV Connect are all pretty solid for me. What other
types of features are you looking for that aren't already included in these
apps? They seem pretty complete. GV Connect especially.
Hangouts is now pretty good too.

Hi all. So I have google voice. Over the years, I've used Talkatone, the GV
app, and GV Connect. While GV Connect does have plenty of features, it does
not automatically dxnload messages. The Google voice shows notifications but
isn't as featureful as I'd like. I would use textnow, but my gv number is
what people know, and its what I like using. So how do people use GV on iOS?
BTW, voicemac on Mac OS works great for GV, which is how I know greatness
can be done, but app devs just don't seem to care much, it would seem.

Re: not satisfied with google voice apps.

Well, that miain thing I use GV for is texting. If hangouts supports texting 
using GV, and not just google talk, I'd love to know how as I'm sure that'd be 
the best way. When I use GV connect, I rarely get push notifications about when 
texts come in, even though I always have the app open. With the google voiae 
app, the notifications come in, but sometimes when I open the app, the text 
isn't there in the conversations list. Besides that, I can't just press space 
with e on the braille display to send the message as I can with GV Connect.

RE: not satisfied with google voice apps.

2014-09-13 Thread M. Taylor
Devin, 

One more thing, I trust that you are aware that as long as you do not initiate 
a Google Voice Text message from your iPhone, you can reply from your iPHone's 
native Messaging app and the recipient will see it as coming from your Google 
Voice number.

So, here is the scenario:  

1.  
Someone sends you a text message addressed to your Google Voice telephone 
number.  The Message is forwarded to your iPhone which means it appears in your 
Messaging app.

2.
Simply reply to the text message from within the iPHone's native app and the 
recipient will receive it as though it came directly from your Google Voice 
number.

Finally, you can use this exact same technique to call someone directly from 
your iPhone, from within the Messaging app, and they will see the caller ID as 
being from your Google Voice number.  

Give it a try.

Mark
