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.
I use Google Voice for everything. I was able to swap out my default voicemail to utilize GV, but I can't seem to do it for the default text/messaging application.
When I left swipe or click on a contact and click message I want it to pull up the GV text vs the native text application.
Right now if I ever want to text, I have to open up the GV app first.
Thanks.
Have you tried clearing defaults? I have GV as my main SMS source and it works great. It asked me which to pick when I first installed it and of course you won't get that message again if you've picked a default after installing GV

Uninstalled and reinstalled and I did get this option upon first use. I must have accidentally selected messaging the first time around. Thanks! This is exactly what I was hoping for!
if it happens with another app just know that you can go to settings >applications then go to the current default app (for whatever it might be), and select clear defaults

I figured that one out too late. Definitely helpful for next time

When you go into your contacts and look under history do you see your GV text messages in there?
The only ones I see in there are the native text app and not the GV texts.
I just activated a Droid Incredible.When I get a voicemail,I get a notification on the front of the phone,telling me to dial "*86#xxxx#"
The xxxx is my voicemail passcode for when I retrieve my messages.I have it programmed into the provider's voicemail system.When I long press "1" it retrieves my mail.
I need a notification on the phone when I have a voicemail,but to have my passcode in full view is not cool.How can I change that?
Have you tried Google voice? Its better integrated with our smart phones than the carrier's option, though I understand everyone has their preferences.
That's one solution!

Does that change the display only? Because what I have in there is what I want to dial when I hold down the "1" key.
I also don't want to have to listen for prompts and key in my code everytime I check for voicemails.
I'm pretty sure there's an option once you're in your voicemail to change whether or not you have to put your code in each time you check it from your phone. just listen to all the prompts and go through the options.

That is what I do now,it works fine.
But when someone leaves a voicemail,I get a notice on the display telling me of the time of call and to "dial *86p????#"
If I have my phone put down somewhere anyone can happen by and see my passcode.I am trying prevent my passcode from being displayed.Maybe I am missing something?
I am running froyo and the stock ROM.

Ah i see i misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish. I dont know of any way to make the notification not show your password. It is going to show what ever is programed in the voicemail settings.

There is no way around this. i use the same thing so i dont have to type my password in. you would have to use Google voice to get around it.
Hi all, I recently installed Skype, however when I try to dial out through the default dialler, the option to select skype or default phone is missing. Nor has it ever been there. I remember when I installed skype a while ago I would get the option to call through either skype or the default phone browser.
I'm asking this because I have all my contact on my phone, and don't really want to be copy pasting a phone number every time I want to dial a phone number in skype.
Thanks in advance for your help

Did you installed skype on this same phone earlier? From task manager check default apps, if its there clear it.
Also check settings internet calling, something like that is there.
I've been using skype since long but I forget when it asks to choose dialer or skype app. But as far as i remember it wasnt at the dialer, it asked to choose app from the contact or call log. But it could be dialer also, as my task manager clear default showing the phone icon.

Hm I did not install it on this phone. Shall test this on my older phone (HTC One X) and see how it goes.
I've checked default and there's nothing for the dialer. I've also tried calling from call long and contacts and no pop up to ask for skype or normal call.

This could be due to recent skype update too. But for me it surely popup once in past but where exactly I don’t remember where.
Check internet calling setting in settings.
