Google Voice

Just thought of another question - can Google Voice be used to send pics?

If so, can it be done without a charge?

No Google Voice does not support MMS (Sending pictures with text messages), they say that clearly on their website.

They also do not have an iPhone app, however you can save their webpage on the home screen to appear like an app.
 
I received 8 PM's for Google requests, Judy received one cause she gave me her E-mail address & she is gettin' her phone # already, the other two requests, I responded to them for their E-mails. Ifin they don't respond with their E-mails back to me, I'll go to the 4th request & so-on. The 1st three Tug responses is the order I used.

Rick gave y'all the correct response, I use my cell phone which is a lot easier!

For all of the PM requests I received, l won't let anyone know your E-mail address unless you say different, its private with me, just wanted you to know!
 
A big public THANK YOU to Conch Man. Got my number!! :cheer:

This is not Google's fault. AT&T/Apple won't allow the app to be released. Sounds like it's more AT&T than Apple.

From what I have read, it was Apple that opposed the app. See this from gizmodo back in July
http://gizmodo.com/5324268/apple-rejects-official-google-voice-iphone-app

and this from yesterday gives me hope
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...p-says-voice-will-come-to-apple-iphone-662481

What would really make GV shine though, is to allow porting my existing number to GV, and a tight integration with VOIP (hoping they will do it after their buyout of Gizmo5)
I currently use Fring for VOIP over Wi-fi on my iPhone, and performance is sketchy at best. Skype does not offer competitive internaltional rates, so I do not use that, so is the case with Truphone.

I don't know who's fault it is but I know it's not Google.

And I'm with you on the VOIP integration. That's where this looks like it's headed.
 
I love the idea of GV - but for now, I have disabled it. Many people who called me complained that their calls were misdirected to other numbers (even when using speed-dial). I also saw that some of my incoming calls went directly to voice mail even when my phone was not in use.

I DID like receiving text messages that transcribed the voicemail messages.

However, until the kinks are worked out, I'm sticking with my standard cell.

Wow. Haven't seen these problems and I've been using it since the summer. What I will say I see is, at times, when I dial on my Droid, it will have a tough time getting out.
 
I'm not sure why I'm having the problems either. I'm using a Palm Pre on the Sprint Network - sounds like most others who are trouble-free are using Verizon...

I'm keeping my number...just not using it at the moment..
 
Bummer. Have you looked into the Google Help forums by any chance. Honestly, not much direct help from Google but you can get an idea if others are having the same problem and maybe a solution.
 
I have 3 spare invites. PM your e-mail address and I'll send them to the first three.

Google Voice- new interface for mobile phones

Has anyone seen their new interface?
It is awesome. When you go to google voice, it brings up a keypad. Try it out, it is great. I do not miss not having a dedicated app on the iPhone.

Now all I need is push notifications for texts, and GV will become my primary number. Of course, until then, I have the SMS to email feature.
