Using a VOIP app on T-Mo's $30 5GB/100 min plan?

[Mugler Infusion]

I would like to use Groove IP and Google Voice, but I am such a tard on setting stuff up like these, I also hear if you have old magic jack or magic jack plus you can get voip through GVjack app as well as other voip products like Obi110 and nettalk duo, but I am clueless how to set this stuff up.

Is there a step by step guide or video on this stuff? It would have to be specifically for noobs that are clueless.

I'm going to use Solavei which offers unlimited calling, text and 5GB of data for 50 bucks. But I still have this nagging feeling on the back of my head that this is a scam. Maybe carriers had washed my brain XD.

I also too get the "SCAM" feeling when it comes to Solavei......hmm, I wonder why......

LOL, Solavei is not a scam... everybody seems to think so, but it's not. Heck, you don't even have to participate in the group thing to get paid back for people you refer. You can just do the $50 prepaid phone use a month and that's it. I too, thought scam, when my coworkers mentioned it to me and did Google searches and found a bunch of articles, but the funny thing is they all said it wasn't. It's like Directv that I have, if I refer a friend, I get $100 off my bill. Solavei is really the same thing. Now, if your going to get into Solavei to make a steady income and such, well yea, it's pretty hard to do.

I don't use Solavei, but 3 of my coworkers do and it's a good plan actually! It's one of the plans I'm debating on for my N4, ST/TMo or this.

I already have the T-Mobile $30 plan 100 minutes, I thought at first I would never use over 100 minutes because I do not talk that much at all, I will eventually figure the VOIP and Google Voice and free minutes out.

My current phone is a T-Mobile Comet and it is too old to work with some new apps or even some apps will not download at all, but with the N4 I will be able to do so, and or I can just install one of the free apps that allows you to connect to another person with that free app and allow you to talk free, which is basically only the wife....yes nothing exciting ever happens but I didn't realize I used minutes until I was actually limited to 100 of them, this is my first month and only have 28 of them left with 10 left of service, had to go ahead and add another $30 to the plan for overages.

Fine with me.



Never had a problem with either. I just like GrooVe IP's app more.

Don't forget in setting up Groove_ip. when you setup your google voice number to use with Groove ip, you must enable only "chat" in the google voice settings menu. This way when someone calls you using your google voice number (for Groove Ip), incoming calls comes via internet and not regular minutes.
