Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

So I hope this hasn't been posted yet. If it is I am sorry.

This thread deals with How to set up your Windows Mobile Device with Google Voice. Since Google has not yet made a official app, we will be using several 3rd party apps. Thanks to the people who helped me write this.

So I, like many others out there, have Sprint. And I also have the pick 3 numbers on my account. And now I finally got my Google Voice Number. What does this have to do with anything? Let me explain. With a “pick X amount of numbers that you have unlimited calling to” and Google Voice, you have all the ingredients for free incoming and outgoing calls without using a single minute.
The guide below will show you how.

1) First thing to do is register with Google voice. Get a phone number with whatever number you want to give out. This will be your “new cell phone” number. When you register with GV, you will be asked to add a phone to your account. Add you cell phone and finish setting it all up on their website. (You probably want to import all your contacts into GV so callers don’t need to announce their names).

2) Now call up sprint and give them you GV number and tell them that you want that as one of your free numbers.

NOW ALL YOUR INCOMING CALLS ARE FREE! (Provided that your callers call your GV number – not your real cell number

How does this work you ask? Well, the caller calls your GV number and Google calls your cell. It shows up on your cell bill as your GV number calling. And that number is free to call you!

Now for the outgoing…

PLEASE NOTE THE PERSON YOU CALL WILL SEE YOUR GV NUMBER – NOT YOUR REAL CELL NUMBER

Method Number 1: (Paid) Get MagiCall . Install and start program. Copy the attached file to /device/my documents overwriting MG2RULE. Reopen the program GUI. It will ask if you want to load the new rules. Click Yes. Modify the rule called Google Voice with your info. (your phone number, leave the commas and then your pin. Leave the rest alone).
Set up whatever rules you want and enjoy free outgoing calls.

Please note that you should not set up any new rules before the import as all your old rules will be overwritten.

Video now on-line. Go

to see it.

NOTE: If you go from using 800 minutes a month to 0 sprint might notice. use this to not go over your minutes...
Maybe only place outgoing only or whatever.

You MAY send me PM'S for help with setiing up MagiCall but I MAY NOT be able to answer all your questions.

MagiCall can be found

Code:

Oh....don't forget to unrar the file. Rared b/c of forum rules...

Well i was going to post this in the second post but I couldn't get into the thread because of some spam filter. anyway, here is the second part.

Here are some other methods...

PLEASE NOTE THE PERSON YOU CALL WILL SEE YOUR GV NUMBER – NOT YOUR REAL CELL NUMBER

Method Number 2: (FREE)
You call GV (dial your GV number) it then promps you to push 2 and then to dial the number you want to call. Free connection. Sprint sees a call to GV (which is one of your free numbers) and the other person gets your call.

Method Number 3: Calling Card - Paid

Code:

http://microsoft.handango.com/Platfo...&platformId=11

1) In your Google Voice settings, make sure that "Voicemail access" is set to "Yes" with "PIN not required".

2) Install the attached CAB and restart your phone.

3) In your Programs, run CallingCard, and select Menu > Add

4) Fill out as below:

Name: Google Voice

Access#: 1112223333p2 (where 1112223333 is your 10-digit Google Voice number)

Set Insert to "None"

Pin#: # (just the "pound" sign, nothing else)

Set Insert to "None"

Leave Intl. Access # blank

Dial Sequence: Set to "Phone# + Pin"

5) Click Save, select the newly created "Google Voice", and "Activate". That's it!

Now whenever you want to call using your Google Voice number, just browse to your contacts, tap and hold your contact, and select the CallingCard option.

Method Number 4: iDialer - Free.

Make you code your links when you post , I did it for you.

Re Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

Thaks Goku, you da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

Search for Magicall here. It's a great program and can only compliment GV. I did use it for showing my number when dialing out, but that's only if you want it to do that all the time. Your calls will take longer to get out compared to just dialing, so I use gVo now for when needed and I don't want you to have my personal cell number. I still use Magicall for controlling all my incoming and outgoing calls, again I feel necessary. I do have Magicall running on my daughters phone all the time, so people can only see her GV number and I can control that better. Good Luck.

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

Sprint won't let me they said they got rid of it 5 months ago

--------- New Post Merged on 16/10/2009 at 04:56:09 --------

I so CITED I so CITED I so CITED I have to tell this. Check this out....So I called Sprint again for the milionth time today and asked to add the pick three to my account. When I called before they told me that they got rid of it 5 months ago. So I called again today to talk to someone else about it. So then they transferred me like 4 times to different departments. I then talked to somone and told them what I wanted to do. She says that I cannot add the pick three to the plan that I have. I said ok well what plan can I add the pick three to? She told me any other plans beside the Simply Everything and Everything Data . So I said ok well I would like to get the Everything Messaging Plan. She tells me that because I call a lot of mobile to mobile numbers I should keep the plan that I have and just pay 5 extra dollars a month and get an extra 100 minutes. I told her is she looks at my usage I only have 92 minutes left until the end of my billing cycle and the extra 100 minutes is not going to be enough cause there are a couple of people that I know that don't have cell phones and only have landlines. So she said can you please hold a minute while I talk to my sipervisor of course I said yes. She got back on the line and told me that she w going to add the pick three to my account that I already have which is the Everything Messaging Plan and it will take effect right away. Nothing has changed except that now I have the pick three on the account that I should not have it on. I SO CITED I SO CITED!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

It's funny, because I never took advantage of the pick 3 in the past and I called the day you mentioned getting your's and had it added to mine w/o any problems. Hey, if it's free then I'm all about it :D

In reality, I'll probably never need it, but it's there and it was FREE, so I told them I would accept ;D lol

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

LOL well you never know when you are going to need it. Did you download the gVo dialer?

Re Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options

I love google voice for many reasons. But as for the pick 3, I have to have data plan anyway so Any mobile Anytime works for me since I don't call landlines. Well, here' something I found with google voice next time your running late on paying your bill.... So OBVIOUSLY I was late on paying my bill, Sprint cut my outgoing calls off and outgoing sms, but incoming is still good for a while AND so is data. Well with GV dialer all you need is data... I was making calls with a partially suspended account, lol.. pretty sweet.. Pulled up GV Dialer, made my call, Web Dial success comes up then your call goes thru... I was like...hahahaha F&*% Sprint..hahahaha ... but then I had to pay it because the data wouldn't last forever, week tops! It's funny how they only block the outgoing calls 1st, then they snip you all the way... whatev...

You're correct Oneal, GV Dialer does that nicely as well as Google Voice app for Android. I've actually been using the app often on my HERO for dialing out and SMS. Works like a charm :)
