Google Voice on Droid Incredible

[loumacuser]

I can't get a copy onto my Storm2. Successfully installed GV on my Storm1 but Google wouldn't issue me an account. Any way to get an invitation?

the problem with google voice on verizon is that it burns your minutes, both incoming and outgoing calls. not a problem if your call uses minutes anyway, but any calls verizon to verizon make no sense

I was wondering if I added my GV number to the friends and family list if the calls made through GV would not burn minutes.

it would probably work i imagine, but it doesn't actually call your gv number when you use it. for me here in nj it uses some 609 area code number that i'm pretty sure changes based on how they want to route it. make a call using gv and at the top of the screen it will flash with a message telling you what number it's dialing to before completing your call. if you can add THAT number to the friends and family it might work...

Can I ask how to dial out using my google voice number? I want to do the friends and family thing (it works), but I don't know how to dial out using google voice. Thanks for any help

When you set up your Google voice account, you can choose to always dial out with Google voice, never dial out with Google voice, or be asked on every call whether Google voice should be used or not. Keep in mind, however, that with the update that was recently pushed out, the "Google number" that is displayed for outgoing calls is likely to differ for each contact. I chose to have Google ask me each time because I want my Google number for all business and other non-personal calls. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps.

If you don't mind using an extra step, and want to keep your minutes from being used by GV, try Google Voice Callback.....there's a great description pinned at the top of the forum, I think. I started using it a couple of weeks ago and it's fantastic - no minutes used. GV Callback calls you, you answer and it connects the call.

EDIT: It does use a minute or two each time it calls you back as an incoming call, I believe, but it will not record your call as outgoing with Verizon. Anyone else, this is correct, right?
