google voice - who's got it and what do you think so far?
I recently purchased a google voice invite on ebay for $1.90.
I got a new google voice number assigned.
I added my cell number but not as a cell number. I set it up to ring my cell number when the google number is called. I didn't set up forwarding of SMS/txt.
I got the google voice app from the marketplace.
I told people to start using the google voice number for text/sms and even calls.
So now I get all my sms on the google voice app w/o having to pay for messaging from verizon. I can also use a browser to send/recieve sms from the same account.
I have even made a few VOIP calls from the droid using wifi and even 3g
Overall it is a very nice addition to the droid and has replaced messaging on my home page (home page has; phone, music, browser, google voice and 4x3 calendar plus weather widget)
So I am just wondering if anyone else is using google voice on the droid?
Seems I could almost swap my voice plus data plan for just a data plan and be good to go... not sure vzw would be happy 'bout it but hey it's a brave new world... In fact I would not be suprised that in 5 years time we'll all be using VOIP primarily for phone calls from our devices...
