Whipped up a program here that should allow you to automatically dial from your GV number. The only catch is, I don't have my account switched over yet, so I cant try it myself. You need to install 1 file, then use the program to apply the Google Voice settings. If this program works, please let me know, as well as let me know the optimal values for pause1 and pause2 (will have to experiment a little). To then dial via GV, right click (click-hold) the person in the contacts list and select Dial with Calling Card.
For Windows Mobile Pro, version 5.0 or later
.net 2.0 or greater required

Install Instructions:
1. Install CAB
2. Apply Settings via GVD
3. Reboot
EDIT: It should be noted, pause 1 is the pause between the call and the auto-entering 2, pause 2 is the pause before entering the number. 0 will wait for the send key, and each number after that is aprx 2 seconds. So a 4 would be 8 seconds (4 *2).

What is it exactly?? voice dialing and google?
I just upgrade my Grandcentral today..I'll give this a try and report back....Do I juss need to install the cab or also grab the exe?
edit: just read directions directly below lol I shall report back soon..so glad they added sms
doesn't seem to be work? I install the cab apply the settings (add my number and 1 for each of the other fields) and soft reset. use file explorer to open calling card folder and click on only icon (CallingCard.dll) avail I get the message: There is no application associated with "CallingCard". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application. any help? Something missing in the cab? though I'm far from the expert here
using Raph 800 stock rom if that helps any

To make calls you have to right click (click-hold) the person in your contacts menu. Think of this as an "extention" to your Contacts application.

The idea is, to make a call with your Google Voice showing in the caller ID, you gotta call GV first, then call out. This allows quick and easy integration.
Another note: If you had a plan from a certain carrier that allowed unlimited calling to one number, theoretically this would enable unlimited anytime calling, anywhere. Just throwing that out there...
I love the concept, but I'm not sure about the implementation. I don't use the default poutlook contacts app, I run pocket informant. Will this add the calling card menu there?
Any chance of making the calling card dial the default option, so that all calls (including calls dialed using the keypad, rather than contacts app) would route this way?
ETA: Just confirmed, this does not work with pocket informant.

The reason for doing this is to mainly test and see if this approach will work with Google Voice (cant try it myself yet, waiting for feedback). The implementation currently is, like you said, less than optimal, but was the quickest and easiest I could get. I didn't want to wrap up a lot of time if this dosen't work. Can you check, and if it does let me know the minimal values that work for the pauses? I intend to leave this option out on the future versions.

Sure, I'll just disable PI temporarily so I can use the default contacts app. Give me a few.
Ended up having to uninstall PI, I couldn't find the setting to change the shortcuts back to default with it still installed. Oh well.
Pause of 1 in both instances works fine, actually seems like it could be shorter, but of course 0 doesn't work that way.
You need to insert a # after the contact phone number is dialed. Right now it just sits there and I have to push # manually. (Or wait several seconds and then it goes through without the #)
The Touchtones when dialing the contact number are also probably a bit slower than necessary, but I'm not sure you can change that.
This program plus iDialer make a good combo for dialing out. GVD covers contact lists, and iDialer covers manual dialing.
oooohhh ok...so I just tried it and it calls sprint 411? - Scratch that had to input my number with the GVD tool again...

You put in your Google Voice number in the GVD tool?
When you try to make a call, what number shows up in the phone app as the number it's dialing?

it's showing my GV number now...sometimes it calls like it's checking my messages....and sometimes I can hear it get all the way to the prompt where its asking for the number to dial...then once it attempts to autodial it says the number is invalid....I think I need to play with the pause settings. ok while typing this I've had success...my settings were 1 then 2
1 and 1 worked smoothly for me on several tries. I wonder why 1 and 2 would be needed on yours, the 2nd pause really should be the same across all phones/networks I would think.
Did you press pound manually after the touch tones for the phone number were done?

Second this. Can you modify the program to insert # at the end?
btw, It works pretty good on my TP with pause 1 & 1. Thank you.

As far as I know iDialer doesn't work with google voice (atleast version 0.42).
What do you mean by manual dialing? Do you mean dial GV number + 2 + and actual number?
Ok guys, still working on adding in the #, as well as some other modifications. It's kinda hard working blind, but I hope to have something new here soon. Its also kinda hard doing this coding in VB, when I've never really studied it at all. Language similarity ftw.

Thank you. Once you post new cab I'll test it.
Can anyone help with advice or an application for the following (if it doesnt exist it should-but it probably does!):-
I do some newspaper work and hence my phone number is in the paper every week. Im reviewing and it leaves me open to abuse and i occasionally get a mouthful from HIDDEN numbers.
It means that i now just dont answer any hidden numbers, which im sure several of which are genuine.
Is there an application/ way that i can make ALL incoming calls that have their number hidden IMMEDIEATLY go to a specific voice mail? (e.g. "Hi, this is **** ******. Hidden numbers are not accepted on this phone. Please ring from a revealed number, text or leave a vociemail and ill get back to you").
Have i any specific options???
GOOGLE AND INSTALL MAGICALL - it does everything you have asked for and more its awsome this is 100% the answer to your issue.!
An alternative may be is to call your mobile phone operator to see if they have a "block-the-blocker" (that's what it's called where I live) service: if the caller blocks/hides his/her phone number intentionally or by default, s/he is greeted by a system recording saying blocked ID calls are not accepted (followed by with instructions on how to unhide ID).
I think call firewall will do what you need, good luck.
Sounds like you may want to check out Google Voice.
Basically, you get a free phone number that forwards to the phone(s) of your choice, along with extensive call filtering options and a lot of other cool features.
It won't help you with the people who already have your number, but Google Voice allows you to set up call filters so that you can send unidentified callers straight to voicemail or reject them with a "hidden numbers are not accepted on this phone" message.
If you have a Google Voice number and a Windows Phone, you can get apps for dialing out through Google Voice so your GV number shows up when you return a call.
If you go this route, you'll want to check out the following apps:
iDialer (Google Voice version) - This program can be used to dial out normally through your cell phone, or initiate calls through Google Voice.
iContact - This program integrates iDialer with your phone contacts.
Green Button (sets up your phone's green "call" button to open iDialer instead of the default dialer)
Google Voice Easy SMS - sends texts from your phone through your Google Voice number.
I have this set up on my Tilt2, and I'm very pleased with it. Feel free to message me if you need any questions answered.

Has anyone tried this app or know anything about it?

It is a touchscreen app and I do use it with the Ozone. I can make Google Voice calls and texts with it. You kind of have to figure it out at first as it is designed for touch screens, but it actually works well with or without Google Voice.

Anyone know what's up with GVDialer now ... was running the trial and went to purchase when I got the expiration warning and the site seems like they've just given up. 'The Get Activation Code' or 'Buy Full Version' links just say:
GVdialer downloads are temporarily unavailable.
Sorry for the inconvenience
I've tried GVoice Dialer, but I hate having to run the app to make a call -- I liked the way GVDialer integrated better with the normal contacts manager and just asked if I wanted to use it on a call by call basis. I'll give iDialer a shot -- I had steered clear because of the obvious touchscreen bias, but glad to hear it sort of works.
Was wondering is there a google voice app for the touch pro 2 like the 1 for the iphone?
I have done a lot of digging and I have not found 1 app that does it all. But there is a way to tie 3 programs together to get a total experience. The information below is what I have pieced together from several other website I do not take credit for it.
On supware's site you can actually create a CAB file specific to your phone and google voice number.
Make sure that you also download "iContact" and the "Greenbutton" programs. The integration of these 2 other programs with iDialer.
- iContact is similar in nature to the i Phone's contact program and you can call directly from iContact as well.
- Greenbutton is a program that lets you call directly from your iDialer app. Without the Greenbutton app you will have to tap on the "call" button on your touch screen in order to place a call. It's much more intuitive to just hit the "green" call button on your phone; having the greenbutton app allows you to do that.
With these 3 programs from Supware.net installed you are ready to go. All you have to do is launch iDialer, enter the phone number of the person you want to call, then press the call button. You will then be taken to the mobile webpage of Google Voice to enter your log-in info. What's cool, is that you only have enter your log-in info once; even if you reset your windows mobile device.
You'll see your google voice number on your caller ID. Answer the call, wait a second, and you will here it ring as it makes the call.

I love google voice so far, the concept is fantastic. However, i am having issues trying to get everything integrated with my touch pro 2. Has anyone found a way to integrate google voice into the phone so it is seamless, as if google wasnt even there? Is there a way to integrate the SMS into the phone as well instead of going to the website to SMS from the phone? Just wondering what everyone else's experience has been so far, it is great but so very clunky for me.
Thanks!
Great topic!
I would like to know also about it, I´m already suscribed but as I live outside of USA, service is not available yet...
Best program I've used to date is onedialer. Its not free but you may want to try out the free trial and see how it works for you.
Have to say the developer runs a pretty nice forum asking for input and looking to the user community to offer suggestions on ways to improve. I generally don't pay for much software but believe this one is worth it...
I dont know why someone would dial the google voice number from there phone to make a call (long distance maybe?). I was able to change my TMobile voicemail to the Google voice number so my voicemail messages get transcribed for me [although the accuracy is somewhat hit and miss ].
I found that iDailer and iContact work best. You can go to the iDialer website and you'll be walked through creating a config file. You'll have the option to add your current phone number, your google voice number, and google voice as a callback number. You can use the Rhodium keyboard controller to assign the Talk button to run iDialer when pressed. iContact will open it automatically when you select a contact from it.
As for SMS, I know it's annoying, but the best I have found is to just text the person through the web service once and save the number you get back for them.
Hope this helps!

Whats "Long Distance"? I thought that term died in the 90's.

For SMS (and calling) cell phones, the best way is to get the other person to send a text (to your Googlevoice number), then add their '406' number to your address book as their mobile number. Then there's no need to go to the web site in the future. Obviously that only works with folks you communicate with regularly. I'm about to try 'onedialer' for the others...
Have a look at an app I've just released, it does Google Voice SMS, and is free:
