Google Voice on Droid Incredible

Does that Mobile broadband connect you reference on your site require a cable? I'm wanting to use my iPad with an incredible.
 
Agreed. Google Voice works perfectly. Soooooooooooooo much better than on my Storm. I just wish they'd add MMS support and the ability to disable the trash function so that when I when I deleted a message it went into cyber-oblivion.
 
how did you set up google voice on the incredible? do you need a special app or widget or something? I'm new to android so don't hate if this seems like a basic question.

Thanks!

You need to get the app from the Market. You will also need a Google Voice account. Go to https://www.google.com/voice if you don't have a Voice account and request an invite.

Thanks rayzaname.

Reminder: Anyone thinking of asking for a voice invite in this thread will have their post deleted.
 
App is working well for me too. I get a strange glitch when trying to exit mine though. If I'm looking at my Voicemail inbox, and I hit the back softbutton to return to the main screen it goes back for a split second, then goes back to my Voicemail inbox. After I hit back one more time, it works correctly... happens every time I open it. Anyone else experience this?
 
Is GVoice voicemail better than YouMail?

Personally, I would have to say yes. I think GVoice voicemail is the best one that is available. Google voice is such a great service, and has come a long way. I have stopped using my YouMail in favor of gvoice voicemail.
 
Made the switch and the UI is better. Functionality better....but I do miss the greetings. I'm going to stick with Voice though.
 
Hi, I don't have my Evo yet so I am unsure of this. I am interested in a good GV app once I get this phone as I have had a number since it was still Grand Central i:)i

Does the Android GV app totally replace the built in phone app or do you have to launch it separately each time? When calls come in do they trigger this or the built in app? When I just want to start dialing real fast or click on a phone number in a link/contact, will it use this by default?

I am just curious how integrated it works.

It won't totally replace the built-in app, but you can set it to make all of your outgoing calls. Incoming calls will be handled normally, even if they're for your GV number.

If you go to call a contact, you can also set it up to always ask if you want to use GV or not. It's very integrated, yet flexible.
 
Yeah I would love an invite from google one day, but I will end up being one of those people, like gmail, that will have to wait for it to go public before I can get my hands on it. I've applied for beta access probably 5-6 different times with 3 different email addys. Ah well.....
 
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'm very happy with Gvoice! While translation is not 100% it is damn close, and seems to be getting better all the time. My thoughts are that you can't go that wrong with a product developed by the people with a big hand in the phone.
