I never knew you could send over WiFi in the first place. You turn off all of your cell antenna's?
Mms is sent through data, always has been. You've probably never noticed when you've sent before a 3g or 4g signal pops up next to your wifi icon to allow sending and then disappears when done sending.

I have my old TBolt that is not activated (replaced with my Rezound). With a couple of market apps I can send email, text, and make calls all over wi-fi with the TBolt.
no, dear sirs, i must correct my statement, for you see i posted in a fit of rage.
lol but really, 3g always turns on when wifi is on to send an MMS. today, it woudln't, even though mobile network was on....then 3 minutes later, it just turned on and started to send lol but i HAD 3g the whole time in my house. i turned off wifi for 1 pic, and it sent...so it was a problem with the phone turning the 3g radio on to send.

Does any of this mean the messages are not counting towards your texting totals? I don't see why they charge extra for texting, especially the amount that they charge. Does it put a big strain on the network or is a completely different thing or is it just because they can?

Yeah, I've got two tabs open in Firefox now reading about google voice. I'm worried about the whole phone number thing. I don't want to possibly lose it somehow by porting it over and I also read that I may be breaking my contract with Verizon by porting it and don't want those fees for sure.
I'm new to Verizon as of 11/23 and bought my phone from Amazon. I'll have to see what they say about porting it to google voice. Still looking into it but I think I need the unlimited texting and that's $20/mo which seems excessive to me.
Would it work to test out google voice with their assigned number and forward calls there just to try it out? Would texts forward? I know I'd still get charged for the texting doing it that way. Where do you see/get the texts? Same as usual or is there a different interface?
You will have a location like you would in Gmail, etc. where all the texts would show up. Believe me, a lot of people use this and never have any problems with vzw. Of cource you don't tell vzw you are doing this. If you root your phone you don't tell vzw you did it. My daughter took a rooted phone to a vzw store this weekend to get it activated. It had a sense 3.5 rom on it and they didn't say a thing to her. VZW employees root their phones.
But if you are worried, don't do it.

When you sign up for Google Voice they'll assign you a different phone number. This is your Google Voice number, and is only used for Google Voice calls and texts (more on that in a bit.) You can port your existing number, but I believe you'll need to pay the ETF as you're basically cancelling service on that line through Verizon. Probably not a good idea. If you don't port, you must associate the GV number with an existing phone number (probably your current mobile number.)
You can set this new Google Voice number up to transfer all incoming calls to the phone number you registered with GV. You can add other phone lines to the account, as well, and set up rules as to who gets forwarded to which number (also by time, I believe, but never tried that.) You can set up your voicemail on your phone to use GV as the voicemail provider. This means when your phone rings for an incoming call, instead of going to Verizon's voicemail, it transfers it to your GV number's voicemail, which you can read either through an app on your phone, or by using your phone's voicemail dial, if you set it up in Phone options.
You can use your GV number for SMS (not MMS, yet!) You can either have SMS to your existing number forwarded to your GV number, or the other way around, if you prefer. You can even have SMS to your GV number sent to an email address. You read/send SMS via the Google Voice app which is available on the Market. Yes, it is a different app and not the standard Messages app. You also get your voicemails through that app.
Now, here's the interesting thing, if you want to completely mask your "real" phone number on your phone, you can have Google Voice set up all your outgoing calls to go through your Google Voice number. They will still use Verizon's minutes, as I'm pretty sure all they are doing is having Verizon transfer the call directly into Google's telecom network which then "places" the call to whatever number you're calling. So by forwarding incoming calls people make to your GV number to your phone, and by making all your outgoing calls originate from your GV number, essentially you are hiding your mobile number, and providing yourself an extra layer of protection.
I don't think you can get full protection if you are using SMS, because while SMS to your GV number can forward to your phone, you can't "bounce" SMS from your phone through your GV number. If you reply to one of those, I believe it will go directly to the original sender. However, I haven't tested this, so I'm interested if anyone can confirm this or not.
And I say "protection" because Google Voice allows you to completely blacklist certain numbers. They will never be able to contact you via phone or text, if they don't know your real phone number. Useful if you have ex's that won't go away, or if you're just paranoid, like me.

On some networks, GV outgoing calls (using your GV number as your caller ID number) are counted as call forwarding minutes. They were on T-Mobile. I can't say for sure that they are on VZW because I don't use my VZW account enough (I just pay the bill )

So yeah, I'm worried about ETF and not having to change my number with all my friends etc...
I'm kind of interested in the voicemail aspects but mostly I'm hoping to save the $20/mo. for texting. It really irks me that any carrier charges for text messages. So if I keep my number with Verizon I would still incur message charges through them, right?
Too bad I didn't know about this before, I could have ported my real number to google voice before I switched to Verizon from AT&T. Seems weird that they tie it to the number and not that I'm still keeping the line active. I'm going to confirm that with them.
google voice callback- not the most convenient method, but free calls. I use it when I get too close to overage.

OK, I got a real nice surprise today when I saw in my phone bill that i had been dialing internationally through my wireless provider even though "google voice" would pop up on my phone since it is set to be used for ALL international calls. I now set it to ask before dialing, but I go check my call history in google voice and I have no calls made... WTF????
same
I had the same problem with $160 surprise bill.
Thank you very much!
It seems that the calls dialed out are just not going out through GV - regardless if they were local or international.
I called a friend's phone from my GV and my regular cell number shows despite asking it to dial all calls. While the phone shows that google voice is dialing out, it's just your phone dialing.
WTF, stuck with a very high bill now. Who is to blame? SE, ATT, GV?
I am out of the country at the moment and cannot check but I saww Google voice was updated, maybe it works after this update.

Unfortunately you. The best way to ensure gv is being used is to make calls from the browser. I have had ongoing problems with the app.
Instead I created an icon on my nineteen with gv as the bookmark. When I hit it, it goes straight to the gv call screen. It ain't pretty but it works.

That is a snarky answer. I never ever had a problem with GV on 1.6 from March to October of this year, and from what I read it was even more integrated in 2.1, why would I assume a Google App would not work properly when it pops up when I make an international call? Thank you for the workaround though.
Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come across that way :-( .
I agree I did expect the same as you. When I got stung it was around $300 more than my bill normally was. Calling my buddy in Cali at 35 cents a minute flat!
The only way I have found to be sure is the browser way and only because you are receiving a call. IMO gv should have some sort of pre-ring notification to verify it's operating.
hey guys i already posted this in android general but no one ever sees it because people post so fast, so mods please close that one if you decide to...
Hey Everyone,
basically on my new thunderbolt i don't have a texting plan but unlimited 4g lte data plan.
I started using google voice and sent out hundreds of texts, using it.
My question is will verizon CHARGE me for these texts? It'll be crudload of money....I read somewhere that they will? or is that just a silly rumor...
i dont make phone calls using google voice either, just use it to send text messages.
I also would like to know the answer to that question, as I want to do the same thing
If you're doing it over data i.e. they aren't being forwarded to your phone via text from google then no Verizon won't charge you.
nope. there is no charge for sms text message sent via google voice.
i have always thought about switching to using GV for texting, but than that would involve telling all of my friends and family to using my GV # for texting and my regular cell # for phone calls. i think that's too much trouble and people would probably end up always sending it to the wrong number.

Yeah, it's nice to know I'm saving so much money by not paying VZW for texting. Luckily for me, when I moved from my iPhone on AT&T to my ThunderBolt on Verizon, I ported my old AT&T number to Google Voice...so now I'll be able to keep my number forever, as long as Google Voice doesn't get axed.
I know there are other issues with GV. I have used it flawlessly on my old Hero, so I thought it would be the same on the 3d. I had integrated my Sprint number to GV in my GV settings(option #1), but did not use the GV app on the phone. I travel extensively, and ran into problems retrieving my GV messages. I did not always have reliable 3g or 4g service, thus unable to hear messages that were not transcribed properly.
I tried to disable GV and go back to the stock VVM, but now I cannot use my phone!!! The dialer will not connect to anything but *2, old GV number or 911!
A sprint tech tried to assign a dummy phone to my account, no luck. Seems my account is locked because of trying to remove GV. I have a SERO plan, may be part of the problem, but I haven't had issues til now.
Any help would be appreciated.

In short, when you say you disabled GV you mean that you went onto your google voice account on a computer and followed these steps:
1. Log into your computer
2. Go to Google.com/voice and sign in and jump to your Voice Settings
3. Now next to your number you want to click the DEACTIVATE SPRINT AND GOOGLE INTEGRATION (or something along those lines)
Yep, my Google account on a computer, the Sprint techs asked me 5 time to make sure. I have the option to integrate the number again, but as my phone will not receive a call on the Sprint network, I am stuck.
Yesterday and today, I was in a roaming area, my phone worked there to dial out, but no incoming calls or voice mail. When someone calls in, "we are unable to connect your call, please try again".
One tech tried to tell me it was a phone issue, I believe its a network issue.
Thanks again,
Craig
Not an expert here, but maybe you could try a hard reset on ur phone.
I tried the Google voice/Sprint integration and did not like it took over everything, I.e. phone, voice msg, and texting.
I however was able to un-integrate VIA GV website and uninstall/reinstall the app. Now just running it for voice mail.
Did some searching on xda prior to this and read some threads where people talked about conducting a hard reset to un-fuk GV issues.
Just a thought.

I just noticed the part about the Sero plan. There is a Google Voice account code that needs to be active on your account for this to work. It shows up as a $0 charge under your phone, same place where your $10 premium data charge would show online.
Sprint Tech got me to Hard reset (factory reset), luckily I pulled the SD card just prior.
Just removed all reference to my cell number in GV needed to remove the # form forwarding. Called Sprint to remove SOC for GV. I can now make and receive calls!!!

Others include setting same phone number on multiple phones (land line or mobile phones) and choose when to ring them based on a schedule.

Voicemails sound metallic with google voice, and the transcription is almost never correct.
I noticed when someone is leaving me a voicemail this what happens: phone starts ringing about 4 to 5 times then stops while the caller is still hearing that the phone is ringing for another 5 - 6 times then Google voice kicks in. TOO LONG for the caller to leave a message. Any way to shorter the amount of the phone rings before Google answering machine picks up ?
If only google voice allowed mms
And not sure if you guys have noticed that they say calls wont be free next year? Not sure what that means.

I'm actually using GV primarily for international calling (not Canada) because it is cheaper and hassle free than any other methods.

There is a code you can dial on your phone to change the duration when your voicemail will pick up. It's an AT&T setting, not configuration through any other way.
This is how you adjust when a call goes to vmail
On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
Write down the number (including +1)
Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.

I find the VM quality as good as the carriers. The transcriptions are not always perfect, but they are alsays close enough to allow me to quietly read all my VMs (during a boring meeting) to determine if i can delete them or save them to take action on. I find it to be an amazing service; of which the Voicemail is just one part. If you have multiple phone's its invaluable.

GV app on your phone doesn't use VoIP at all. What it does is auto-forward your outgoing GV calls to a local phone number nearby. It does this to avoid anger carriers. If GV does VoIP calls, all carrier will bar the app being avaialabe to their phones.
So, yes, you still use you minutes.
I've been Google searching and searching here for an hour. Because I don't really know "what" happened, I'm lost as to how to fix it.
I've got a Sprint phone and I've got a Google Voice account.
The way I've had it for a couple years is that if you call my Google Voice, my phone rings too but if I don't pick up, you go to my Google Voice mail which then I get notified of a voice mail via the Google Voice Android app.
If you call my Sprint number, obviously that rings threw to my phone too, but if I don't pick up, you get my Sprint voice mail which I'm notified via Sprints visual voice mail.
Now and I'm sure I did something wrong, I put a new ROM on my phone and I've been tweaking Google Voice, but now when you call my GV number and get my voice mail it says, you've reached the Sprint voicemail for XXX-XXX-XXXX...
Um... I wouldn't be using GV if I wanted people to know my actual number.
Now if I log into GV and un-check the box next to my list of phones, it goes back to sending GV to GV Mail and Sprint to Sprint, but the calls to my GV number no longer ring threw, you just get my voice mail and I get notified via the GV app.
What did I do wrong?
This is driving me crazy. I activate Google Voicemail, I get Google Voicemail on both m GV number and Sprint, I deactivate Google Vociemail, I get my Sprint Voicemail on BOTH my GV number and Sprint number.
The only way I can separate the two it so disable my phone on my GV account but then the calls to my GV number do not ring threw.
Really?! No one has any thoughts? No one uses GV or has ever had issues like this?
My advice to you mate is to make a new google voice account. Seems like your best bet.

When Google voice goes bad , it can be very tricky to get it working again. I had an issue where my sprint # was in use on an old GV account I didn't have access to. In the end I changed my sprint #. GV is great but if something gets messed up , very hard to fix (in my experience)

Just check your settings, particularly this one, and set to display GV number for incoming calls: https://www.google.com/voice#callsettings
Also when you first install it it ask to use GV as your main voicemail. So you can clear GV datas and in Manage Application and set it up from beginning again.

GRRR didn't work!
I even removed my Sprint cell from my Google Voice account completely and readded it. I call my GV number, I get you have reached the Sprint voice mail box of "my sprint number here", not my GV voicemail.
Again if I log into my GV account and un-check my Sprint phone, then call my GV number I get my GV voicemail box BUT the calls NEVER ring threw to my phone.
Going to try setting up a whole new Google account and GV I guess. Hopefully Sprint lets me and doesn't give me the whole you already have a GV account crap.
Did you ever get an answer to this? This started happening to me out of nowhere.
