The problem might be that for some, dialing +1 makes calls not go through. For some (like myself), it causes no problem. That's what makes it so confusing to troubleshoot.

A workaround was added to the RIL a while back (commit here, if you're curious). Try adding

Code:

north_am_dialing=1

to your cmdline (startup.txt). If the problem is with the +1, and if that fix works for TP2 (it should, but I'm not 100% sure), that should solve the problem.

I tried this, and I got a haret.exe error stating "unknown switch 'north_am_dialing'" and crashed.

Thanks that fixes my issues without any complicated work around.

I had the same experience but when I ran it again no issue.
Good luck.

Click on "sign in as a different user" and re-enter your information (even if it is the same account), that should do it.
Thanks to rehtonAesoohC for that.

Question on google voice for android.

So when I make a call using google voice am I still using cell phone minutes or is the whole call being made through voip?

Reason I am asking is now you call and receive calls using your google voice number from gmail and the whole thing is through voip.

Thanks in advance.
