I heard people are using this to get unlimited minutes over WiFi.
People also said that it works to call anybody.
Is that true? The app says the person your calling also needs the app.
yea, I tried it and same thing, other people have to have the app to use it. uninstalled

If I make a Google voice number, can I forward it to multiple phones with groove IP?

Vonage App
The people you are calling do not have to have the Vonage app. If it's in the US or Canada you can call them for free. When you first setup the app, it asks you to confirm your phone number so that it can spoof it when you place the calls. The people you call will have whatever number you confirm. I listed my Google Voice number so that way when I call out through the Vonage app, it shows the Google Voice number. I will note that it didn't send the SMS but it's not a big deal as you can click the "Request a Call" button to verify instead.
The free calls to phone numbers in US & Canada is apparently a limited time thing (sort of like the free Google Voice calls but those have so far been extended annually) so after that is when both users would have to have the app to make free calls. At the moment you get 3000 free minutes a month to use so it's worth trying out.
So Google voice isn't going to remain free?

I wonder if google voice will turn into a carrier?

I guess they figured out the problem with discount accounts and got some other bugs fixed, too. Worked for me.
Kept my old voice number too, and just ported my sprint number to another Gmail account.

Been using it for over a week now. I made my GV number be main number rather than converting my sprint number to GV. Here's why:
By transitioning you GV number to your sprint account,you still maintain your original sprint number!
- GV number becomes you primary incoming and outgoing phone number calls and texts.
- All texts will utilize the native SMS interface with your carrier and your phone.
- Texts to/from the phone will all appear on the GV website so you can carry on a chat from either place.
- GV App no longer needed for anything unless you want to use it for it's other features.
- Old sprint number remains yours. Incoming calls and texts to your old sprint number will automatically go through GV and ring down all the phones you have on the account and texts appear on the website too.
- Kick ass.
What is the best Visual Voice Mail program? I havent used the stock Verizon app, but I think I want to give the concept a try.
Google voice!

Absolutely Google voice! You can still use your existing number if you just want to use the voicemail.
YouMail is also great and I used it before I had an invite to Google voice.

I didnt want to use GV. I think I remember somewhere that GV is using up minutes without making calls.
That ain't true, if u want visual voice mail GV is so the way to go.

I use Yap voicemail. It records all messages and transcribes them so you can read them. Its not always perfect, but enough that I can understand who is calling and what they want.
*It's IncREDible*
Google voice.... its free! And integrates
Thought this might be of interest to some people.
Yesterday I was flying American Airlines and the plane that I was on had Wifi. When I opened up my web browser on my Xoom, I saw that it was about $10 for the flight. I didn't want to pay that, so I closed my browser, but left my Xoom connect to Wifi. About 2 minutes later, Google Voice goes off saying I had a text message. I opened it up and replied. Come to find out, Google Voice worked fine without paying for the service. I was able to send and receive texts and listen to voicemails. I then wanted to find out what other apps worked. Gmail was the only other app that worked fine. The Google Market would let you search for apps and read descriptions and such, but would not let me install apps.
So the next time you are on American Airlines, you can get text messaging and gmail for free.
I have 5 AA flights next month. Interesting.

It's become my preferred texting device, especially since eliminating my phone data plan and switching to a "standard" phone. I use Google Voice and the speech to text translation all the time and hardly ever send a text from my cell phone.
How do you enable voice for text support. Right now all I see is voicemail forwarding. Thanks

What is the best app out there for sending and receiving SMS text messages using your tablet?
sms sync tab text.. these are two that i have tired both work. Not used them in a while so might work better now with updates to them.. can do bluetooth or must be on same wifi network. .
Also if you are tethered you can use google voice or yahoo messenger to text to and from phone numbers. Groove ip as well and grove with google voice is awesome to make Phone calls from tablet.. There are so many out there you will have to try and find what works best for your liking and style.
I would recommend using SyncSMS
I would recommend Google voice and talkatone, as the latter requires a Google voice number. Talkatone incorporates both WiFi calling and SMS texting, while using only Google voice allows only texting over WiFi.
I've been trying out Tablet Talk lately and it seems to work well.

Same here... Tablet Talk is awesome!
I use mighty text. I am not sure about the other apps, but this app uses your own phone number, and there is an extension for the chrome browser for a computer.
SyncSMS
I think I like SyncSMS the best. It seems to be the best of the suggestions.
Google Voice + Groove IP apps so you can make/receive unlimited calls within North America along with unlimited SMS text for free over WIFI. Just pay the one time fee for the Groove IP app or use free equivalent.
I really like tablet talk

+1 to Google Voice. I use Google Voice's app for texts, and GrooveIP for calls.
I'm using mySMS it's free and works good. Give it a try. I have it set on my cell phone to run in background but not to notify or pop up. I then am able to use Handcent as my normal SMS application.

Do any of the texting apps mentioned here actually give you your own #, so that actual mobile users can text you? (I'm only aware of Google Voice doing this)
Using tablet talk and it's working great.

Using syncsms here, just make sure you have free space in your drop box and you're fine!

I have T-Mobile and a Google Voice number. Can I port my GV number over to T-Mobile and still use that number with Hangouts and GrooveIP? I know support for third party apps is coming to an end in May for GV.
My main concern is being able to port my number and make calls on Hangouts from my PC with it. I have the $30 100 min 5 GB plan.
