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.

SMS on LTE Version

I don't know if this has been common knowledge or not, but it is possible to send/receive sms on the tablet if you have a fully operational line on your sim card. Data only won't work. But, if you take the sim from your phone and put it in, you can indeed text.
Hangouts doesn't work, I'm assuming because they restrict the sms feature from tablet-specific versions. But, I did find an app that happily sends/receives texts.

MMS isn't working for me, I don't know if it's a limitation of the app or my apn not being proper(I did set it to have the correct mmsc info).
Maybe someone can get a hangouts app from a phone and sideload it onto their tablet to test that out.

I'm able to send and receive SMS on my LTE table, I use the built in messages app.

^Must be a difference in the US and EU variations then, because there is no option for SMS in the US version that I could find.

Hangouts?

I use 8sms on consumer cellular sim, data&txt in Colorado. Uses either tmo or att

Textra works great as well.

Until I was able to disable at&t all access (pre loaded bloatware on my U.S. model ) it was the SMS app even on the consumer cellular Sim.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can I ask how you did this?

I let the att app update. Then in app properties it was able to disable like normal apps!

Dialer + Google Voice Broken, help! APN not switching...

This week I updated to Oxygen OS 9.0.12 and updated my Google voice as well to 2019.07.232051384.
Now wherever I try to make a call using the stock rooms dialer I get the error:
Google Voice Calling Prohibited.
The Google voice app must be updated to continue calling with Google voice.
My only option then is to use my carrier number.
Anyone else having this issue? Since I updated the Oxygen OS and Apps same day I have no idea which side is broken. My note 9 runs the identical version of Google Voice and neither phone show any newer version available and the Note 9 works just fine.

So upon further testing I found something interesting. It seems like when I use the Switch Data Card option the correct APN for each sim card do not properly switch over. Oddly the internet and data still work and I can make calls in Hangouts just fine, however I can't dial from Google voice or the native dialing app using voice, I CAN send and receive SMS.
When I switch the data card then manually go in and swap APN the dialer and Google voice app start working properly without any errors.
Shouldn't the Switch Data Card option automatically select the correct APN or at least the last one used for each respective SIM?
I am using TMobile sim1 and ATT sim2

Need some help with this one

So I got the AT&T Variant of this tablet, and it works fine. But recently I decided to implement Call & Text on Other Devices to receive and answer texts from my Note 10+. I got the Call & Text feature installed and activated on both devices, but that's where the fun starts.
I disabled anything that has to do with AT&T (Number Sync, etc) but it seems the dialer is hard-wired to that numbersync app and won't let me change the default. Now when I launch the app, it crashes right away. Tried disabling it and installing Samsung Phone from apkmirror, but the install always fails, as does Samsung Messages.
So is there a way to install these two things to get them working, or has AT&T basically screwed this tablet over in favor of their services?

Samsung site says this function is note currently available on ATT and Verizon phones. Kinda angry

That is true. I have the Verizon LTE variant and I can't call or text from my Tab S5e unless I use Verizon's Messages+ app.

Went to the dark side. No update profile, PRL, RCS chat

I'm unlocked, had Sprint sim with all features. Yesterday I went with T-Mobile SIM, and I'm missing features.
RCS does work with Google Messages but not Samsung messenger. I attempted to do the IMS SETTING but all apps fail to open, also Alliance app is down.

I had something similar. Removed my number from googles chat service via the website. Cleared carrier services and messages data and cache fixed it. Took a day or two for it to reregister and give me the rcs toggle again. Once it did I enabled it for Google messages. Then stock messages. Been good ever since.

Everyone with unlocked on TMOB is on a holding pattern for carrier released RCS in messages. The current "hack" is on hold because the app manager portion requires knox and they lost their license.
