Hi, regarding deleting VS archiving, you have to do it from the GV web
site http://voice.google.com. The site does a bit of refreshing so for
example, using Window-Eyes I have to turn browse mode off and then back
on to see the new stuff. The cool thing is it doesn't auto-refresh in
such a way that the browse mode buffer constantly loads. The site is
very usable once you get used to its quirks.

I never knew this program supported Google Voice, but think the incoming
calls still need the 1 pressed, and it gives you less time than Sprint
normally does to answer before voicemail kicks in. I used to have the
two integrated this way before I got my IPhone and used Talkatone on an
IPod Touch to do Voicemail. I never figured out a way to totally delete,
not archive, voicemail on GV though. As for Codecs go, G.729 is just a
more compressed way to transmit the audio as compared to the 64kbps
required for G.711 which is the standard uncompressed form the phone
companies likely use.

Subject: Re: Groundwire Questions
Hello Joe. I'm honestly not sure how using Groundwire would affect the
integrated Sprint/GV number. I would imagine that since it also has
support for GV, it might interfere with the Voicemail features if any
rerouting of the GV number is done so it moves from your phone to the
Groundwire app. I wish I had a better answer, but I would only be
guessing. It's true that I have a GV number, but I don't have Sprint, so
it's not tied to my AT&T phone number the way it is with Sprint.
Regarding the usage of wi-fi, if they base it on the IP address you are
at, and block it accordingly, then you would have to use a vpn. However
if all they care about is using it on wifi, then it shouldn't matter and
you can still make u.s. calls and your outgoing number would be the GV
number which is still a u.S. number used to make calls to the U.S.
The quality is probably not as good as a real cell phone call, but with
a good wifi connection, I would imagine that it should be acceptable.
I'm sorry I don't have concrete answers for you right now. I can give
this app a try and see what I can figure out. I'm not planning on going
overseas for a while, so all my testing would be from U.S. IP addresses.

Hi, I purchased Groundwire and am very impressed with its functionality.
For Raul and other veterans, I have some questions:
1. What would happen if I were to use the service with an integrated
Sprint Google Voice number? I don’t know what that would do with the
Phone app, and what would that mean for Visual Voice Mail?
2. If I’m using the service overseas in a wi-fi network, could I
theoretically make free U.S. calls from that other country, or am I
going to have to set up a VPN network to use a U.S. IP address?
3. Does the G729 codec significantly improve call quality to make it
worth the additional purchase?
For general reference, I used CallCentric as my SIP provider and IPKall
for a free DID number. I may write up a blog post on the subject in case
anyone’s interested on how to make/receive calls without paying beyond
the cost of the app.
Thanks for any help.
Joe
