Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
2 Attachment(s)
So I, like many others out there, have Sprint. And I also have the pick 3 numbers on my account. And now I finally got my Google Voice Number. What does this have to do with anything? Let me explain. With a “pick X amount of numbers that you have unlimited calling to” and Google Voice, you have all the ingredients for free incoming and outgoing calls without using a single minute. The guide below will show you how. 1) First thing to do is register with Google voice. Get a phone number with whatever number you want to give out. This will be your “new cell phone” number. When you register with GV, you will be asked to add a phone to your account. Add you cell phone and finish setting it all up on their website. (You probably want to import all your contacts into GV so callers don’t need to announce their names). 2) Now call up sprint and give them you GV number and tell them that you want that as one of your free numbers. NOW ALL YOUR INCOMING CALLS ARE FREE! (Provided that your callers call your GV number – not your real cell number How does this work you ask? Well, the caller calls your GV number and Google calls your cell. It shows up on your cell bill as your GV number calling. And that number is free to call you! Now for the outgoing… PLEASE NOTE THE PERSON YOU CALL WILL SEE YOUR GV NUMBER – NOT YOUR REAL CELL NUMBER Method Number 1: (Paid) Get MagiCall HERE!. Install and start program. Copy the attached file to /device/my documents/magicall (thanks Solange82200) overwriting MG2RULE. Reopen the program GUI. It will ask if you want to load the new rules. Click Yes. Modify the rule called Google Voice with your info. (your phone number, leave the commas and then your pin. Leave the rest alone). Set up whatever rules you want and enjoy free outgoing calls. Please note that you should not set up any new rules before the import as all your old rules will be overwritten. Thanks goes to Biker1 (and sorry that you lost your rules). Thank his helpful post here! *EDIT -Video now on-line. Go here to see it. Then go here to thank the maker. NOTE: If you go from using 800 minutes a month to 0 sprint might notice. use this to not go over your minutes... Maybe only place outgoing only or whatever. You MAY send me PM'S for help with setiing up MagiCall but I MAY NOT be able to answer all your questions. Oh....don't forget to unrar the file. Rared b/c of forum rules... |
Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
Here are some other methods... PLEASE NOTE THE PERSON YOU CALL WILL SEE YOUR GV NUMBER – NOT YOUR REAL CELL NUMBER Method Number 2: (FREE) You call GV (dial your GV number) it then promps you to push 2 and then to dial the number you want to call. Free connection. Sprint sees a call to GV (which is one of your free numbers) and the other person gets your call. Method Number 3: Calling Card - Paid HERE THANKS TO tok FOR THIS: Quote:
THANKS TO relux FOR THIS: Method Number 4: iDialer - Free. HERE Method Number 5: GVDialer - Paid HERE |
Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
Buying "MagiCall" for $24.99 seems a little silly, especially considering there are free and almost free alternatives.
iDialer - for free. http://supware.net/iDialer/ Calling Card for 4.99... http://microsoft.handango.com/Platfo...&platformId=11 |

Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
nice post being i have all the stuff you mentoned in the thread.

Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
With MagiCall you can specify the other two (or four) numbers to bypass the rule and dial directly. You can also add to the Google Voice filter 7:00 to 19:00 M-F if you don't want to use the service during your nights and weekends.
I tried the other dialers mentioned before reinstalling Magicall and overall it seems like the latter is a much better approach to the situation. |
Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
That is 100% true. that is what i do. but they rules i made to share were made to be universal and they expected that you might not have pick three (or five) rather only pick 1. which you could even buy for 5 a month.

Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
Interesting combo, I'll have to compare Magical to OneDialer though and see what comes up.

Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
You mentioned a google voice pin in the first post, how do you find your pin? I'm assuming its not the password that you use to login into the gv website is it?
-s PS: DO NOT use onedialer, it sux at pulling contacts for you to dial. :-( Scrolling is amazingly slow and it takes forever to pull the list up to begin with. |

Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
OK so this Magicall says
Call To: urnumber,,,pin,2,{phone}# ????? So then what am I putting in the urnumber slot?? then the Pin is obvious.. But then the {phone}#??? Is it just as simple as putting in my google voice number in the urnumber slot and my 4 digit pin in the pin slot?? Also how can I set up a rule to use this only during the hours that I get charged for my minutes? Last question I promise, lol.. What number will show up on the other persons caller id, my GV number or my sprint # using the Magicall Method?? |

pin - your 4 digit pin the rest leave alone (2 tells gv your calling out. {phone}# tells gv what number you dialed out on the keypad) Your GV number appears on callerid. its just an automated way of dialing Google - urnumber - your google voice number authoizing google - Pin telling google your making a call - 2 telling it to use the number you put on your keypad - {phone}# as for times controled that is on the options list... |
Re: Touch Pro and Google Voice using MagiCall = FREE CALLS
Thanks for the help.. got it working... now I am going to try to set it up for all numbers outside of my call list.. as I want the people in my call list to know that it is me calling..

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
I didn't realize this thread blew up. Anyway here's my post from the other thread. Watch out for your incoming minutes. Also, occasionally Magicall will jump the gun on the pauses and I have to wait to call again.
Is there a simple way to place a call bypassing the GV rule? like ##Number or some such. Quote:

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
what is the difference between using idialer and magicall, besides the fact one is free and the other is not? I have been using idialer and that works for me is magicall better or have any advantages over idialer?

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
I have a Grandcentral number (had it before Google purchased them) but my Sprintpcs email address was discontinued by Sprint a few months ago (they discontinued their sprintpcs email accounts across the board.)
I have a gmail email but forgot to update my GC account. I forgot my GC account password and submitted a password change request but the email was sent to my discontinued sprintpcs email address. Any suggestions on how I can update my GC account with my current email address? I posted the question on the Google Voice HELP Forum but no response yet. Thanks. |

magicall leaves everything the same just automates dialing googles number - not a whole new dialer just intercepts all calls and follows the rules.. i sent you a pm |

Magicall seems to be the best solution, i'v tryed all the others. and i even payed for gvdailer.. and now i regret doing it because.. magicall is better at doing the same thing... I'll admit its not as easy to set up as GVdailer but it does a better job once it is. anyway... thats not why im writing in this thread. I actually wanted to know if there is a way to configure magicall to allow my "REAL" number to go to my sprint voice mail when dialed? after its setup for google voice...you know without having to disable it temporarily. thanx in advanced for any suggestions... :) Im setting this up for my uncle's and best friends phone tonight lol |

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
Onedialer is not so great of an option only because the contact search is amazingly slow and you cannot skip around. If you want to call someone at the end of your contacts (zeek for example), you would have to painfully scroll all the way down (you cannot begin typing their name).
idialer + icontact works great together and will be my choice until Google officially comes out with their own app. -s |

heres my take on GV... i finaly got to de-clone my phones, had it ths way so all 3 rang...yaaay... i turned off the option where they have to announce their names and didnt load my cntacts into anything, and the caller id works just fine as is... i guess i see why youd want a dialer to make calls, since lets face it, we have cells, were pretty used to not knowing the numbers by heart anymore, and it sucked when i tried it and it prompted me to manully input the number... all in all, it does what i needed it to do- 3 phones on one number.. but i have a feeling, especially if APPLE gets to refuse the app for good, that GV will cause alot of issues for carriers.. ATT didnt want it for just this reason, people will use it for free incoming and outgoing calls and drop their cell plans as low as possible.. i see GV getting out of hand quickly |
Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
Hi guys, can you tell me how Magicall works better? Im using the trial version of GVDialer, and although it works well, it seems like a long tedious process everytime you make a call (having it dial the number, end the call, and start up gvdialer. I guess its not that big of a deal, but it seems almost like too much hassle to go through just to get a different number to show up on another person's caller id....

Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
I have had Magicall for a couple of months and it is a great application.
Have emailed Song a few times at the beginning regarding troubleshooting and setting up a new registry name and value. Really nice support. I have pick 3 with Sprint and I am alittle confused if I should set up Magicall for outgoing as I can just set up a speed dial. Does your cab allow any call I dial to be outdialed thru my GV number automatically? Thanks |
Re: Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!
my ".cab" is not a cab - just a rules. You have to get MagiCall on ur own.
and it automates calling Gv, entering pin, pressing 2, and dialing your outgoing number so all u have to do is dial as normal and it gets routed through GV! |
