Posted this yesterday and surprised there is no much interest. Thought to link to general to see if it gets more attention:

heya,
I have a Google Voice account, that's already been activated - I live in Australia, and I used LocalPhone to patch it through to my normal VoIP line here, to do the activation.
So I can login to the Google Voice website, send SMSes, and I've even received a transcripted voicemail (appears to be a tele-marketer...haha).
Anyhow, my question is, is it possible to activate Google Voice on the Android, outside the US? It seems to require its own activation, outside of the normal Google Voice activation, not sure if there's a workaround for people outside the US?
Cheers,
Victor
oh you did it through your voip, good job i did it with a temp us number but found out that will just end up paying long distance regardless.
Try activating it with wifi and make sure you are using the latest version from the market.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), March 21, 2011 - Sprint (NYSE: S) and Google announced today a new integrated Google Voice™ experience that will allow Sprint customers to set their existing Sprint wireless phone number as their Google Voice number. Sprint customers will be able to take advantage of all the features and benefits of Google Voice without the hassle and fees associated with porting their number. Sprint is the first and only carrier to offer this capability, which will be available soon on all Sprint CDMA phones.
In addition, Nexus S 4G1, announced today by Sprint, Google and Samsung, will allow Sprint customers to enable the integrated Google Voice experience and will come preloaded with the Google Voice Android app.
“As part of our partnership with Google, our customers will appreciate having the easiest set-up experience of any wireless carrier for Google Voice across all of our CDMA phones, using their existing Sprint phone number,” said Kevin McGinnis, vice president-Product and Technology Development, Sprint. “It’s now easier than ever to truly live a mobile lifestyle with the ability to manage multiple devices through intelligent call routing and online controls using just one phone number – your existing Sprint number.”
"With this integration, we have made Google Voice simple to use with a Sprint phone," said Dave Girouard, president at Google. "Sprint subscribers now have access to all the benefits of Google Voice behind their existing mobile number without the need for porting or, if they already have a Google Voice number, they can display that number from their Sprint phone without the need for a separate application."
Manage multiple devices with Google Voice
Google Voice makes it easy for people to manage and access most of their voice-based communication. It lets users manage up to six different devices through one phone number with intelligent call routing and advanced features like call screening, blocking and recording using the phone’s dial pad. Sprint subscribers will be able to use their Sprint number across their office, home and wireless phones, and personalize settings so calls from friends ring their wireless device and home phone, while calls from the boss only ring at the office. Google Voice users can receive transcribed voicemails and read or listen to them online. They can also read, send and search text messages and call logs online at www.google.com/voice.
Wow! Great
Intresting but what about others!

I think by now we all know that Sprint has decided to remove/block phone call functionality from US Samsung Tabs.
I've heard about the the Google Voice/Skype workaround to this (Get a permanent skype phone number, GV forward to that, people call GV number and Skype app on the tab rings as normal).
I was wondering two things:
1) Can you just leave Google Voice (whether the web based version or the stand alone android app) running on the tablet and make/recieve calls like that (people call your GV number and it rings the Tab just like it would on a PC)?
2) Does one of you brilliant coders out there have a method to unlock/restore the native phone functionality? I would be (ideally) switching devices and keeping the same data/calling plan I have with my TouchPro2 (I verified this was an option with sprint). So the way I see it this tab should have a voice plan.
thanks!

Google Voice does. You can use the app GrooVe IP - Free Calls + Text that makes it easier to use google voice over IP . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gvoip&hl=en
Voice without Minutes!
On May 15, 2014 Google will no longer allow XMPP based calling through Google Voice. After that date, GrooVe IP will no longer make calls through Google Voice.
