This is what I'm trying to do: I want AT&T LTE service since its really good where i live but I dont want to pay the premium price for it.
In the options menu on AT&Ts website it gives you the option to opt out of text messaging and picture messaging altogether which would save $20. So my plan is to use the google voice app to send text and picture messages instead of the default messaging app. I already have a google voice number and account set up.
I'm also planning on using my google voice number to route calls to my phone so people dont get confused and/or have two numbers under my name lol
will this work? I just want to make sure that the app would use "data only"
BTW: the red galaxy S4 is just a place holder for the HTC one or S4 or Moto X Phone.

To the best of my knowledge, the Google voice application uses your minutes when making calls. Basically it calls both you and your contact ( depends on where you dial from).
It sounds like you want GrooveIP (or something similar). It connects to Google Voice over your WiFi or data connection (paid version only I think.).

Hi all,
Today my friend bought a used white colored Xperia x10.His earlier phone was Nokia 5800.He doesn't like the android sms management system which shows message between users like chat conversation.He wants inbox/outbox display system.Is there any software for this.
Get him to download a third party SMS app like Handcent or Go SMS through the market. I'm not 100% sure if either of these can be setup the way he wants but they will both give him a lot more options to play around with in setting his SMS' up.
This type of messaging is called 'threaded view', and it is considered far superior..
What exactly is your friends problem..?

tell ur friend that this is my careface and there a Q&A section for these types of threads
is anyone else having issues with Google voice properly displaying the number that you are dialing ? this is driving me nuts.
iI make a call and the phone shows the Google exchange number NOT the number that iI am actually calling.
thanks.
Thread moved. All question threads belong here in Q&A.
Thanks

I'm experiencing it too. Tested and found it was only on nexus 4, not on galaxy nexus so it's something specific to this device.
I don't know if I fully understand the problem. I dial a number in the phone app and hit call (I have it set to always use GV) and it dials the correct number... Where exactly are you guys seeing the wrong number?

Don't think its specific to the Nexus 4.
Works fine on my Nexus 4. Number dialed is displayed at the top, while the "Calling via Google Voice" is displayed in the blue bar (which disappears after a few seconds)

I also have the same problem (4.2.2 stock).
After reboot first call is working fine, second and all other display Google's forwarded number in call log.
Here is some screenshots:
1. I start dialing some number:
2. Than immediately number changed to Google's forwarder number:
3. In call log I can see both numbers:
Any one having issue getting vvm app to work keep getting error. Worked fine when I had the m8.

I have been having trouble with the app most this evening and night. I just tried it again and it finally logged in.
You installed the app or not?
I used the Voicemail app that came on the phone. I just checked and it is still working. My guess is that they didn't get the Visual Voice Mail functionality set up and working for the Galaxy S5 until late last night. The error that I kept getting told me to call an 800 number on a different phone. I don't have another phone to use so I just waited. Are you still having problems connecting?

Dedicated WiFi Home Phone​
Can you believe people still pay for a home phone service? Well they do and they're getting ripped off. Phone companies will shamelessly sell your grandparents a dedicated home phone and charge up to $50 a month for the service! That is outrageous. The reason this still happens is because many people like to stick with what they're familiar with. Convincing someone to give up their landline can be more trouble than it's worth. Instead, I'm going to show you how to take an old Android phone or tablet and set it up as a landline replacement. This will cost you nothing since we are going to be using Google Voice via WiFi.
Step 1: Get a Retro Phone Handset
You can get either a Bluetooth handset or a regular corded option. If you are going to be setting this up for someone who is technically challenged, then just go with the corded phone. No need to add the complication of Bluetooth pairing to the mix.

Step 2: Setup Google Voice With Hangouts
Use this guide here to setup a Google voice account that can make and receive calls over WiFi.
Then just delete anything that is unneeded off of the phone. Set it somewhere that will be convenient for phonecalls and you're all set! You don't need a recent phone to do this. Any old android device will work.
You mean, use a phone as a phone?! Amazing.
Recently my carrier has decided to push Class 0 Messages (aka Flash SMS) after the disconnection from any call. I used to be able to block those popups by blocking the number it came from in Google Messenger. Now, the blocking doesn't work.
Has anyone had Class 0 Message popups that you've managed to block? I've Googled for hours and tried quite a few apps (Xposed and non-Xposed) but they fail to work.
Here's a screen cap to show what I'm talking about

Oh yeah, that would be helpful. I doubt anyone heard of it though, it's called Life Wireless (listed as Telrite/Pure Talk on Google Play). It's from the Lifeline government program where a disabled person can get free or reduced price cell phone service. They piggy-back off of AT&T's network.
I emailed them and they said I would have to call customer service. I have my doubts they could help me, but I'll try calling them anyway.
Google really needs to implement an API for dealing with Class 0 Messages.
