Hi Jim, yes that is correct. You are not searching for the correct app.
I originally mentioned that both Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension
tweaks are no longer compatible with iOS6. So instead, search for either
Call on GV or SMS on GV and you will find the iOS6 compatible ones.
Hope that helps.

Hello:
When I found the Phone GV Extension app in Cydia, it still says that it is not
compatible for IOS 6.

Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the primary
reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with my iPhone. This
means total integration in making and receiving phone calls as well as texts. I
was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called
Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension. These allow you to tap on a number
anywhere and call like normal, but the call originates from your Google number
instead of your real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and
receiving texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to
and from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6
because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6.
However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those tweaks
released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling portion of the
Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and receive Google voice
calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping on a number from anywhere.
Today I discovered that he released the SMS on GV tweak, which adds the
functionality to sms texting as well. So, this makes my Google Voice experience
complete once more on my phone.
Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice number
with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such as the
official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly recommended app called
GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, you have to make phone calls
from that app's dialer, and you have to do all your texting from within the
app. So, it's not a total loss. However if you are inside another app which
wants to send out a text message to share information, it will send it from
your real cell number instead of your Google number. This is why jailbreaking
is necessary.
I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this message
doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for everyone. It's not
illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that being said, my phone is out
of warranty, and so I'm fine.
