Anyone Know How To?? Google Voice/Gmail Question

**elephant007** · #1 (**permalink**) 07-31-2009, 01:39 PM

I have both Google Voice and GMail. When I log into my Google Voice account I am able to access my GMail by clicking on a simple link... when I'm in my GMail account, no such link exists for me to access my Google Voice (I do have a work around) anyone know how to link and cross link the two?

Google hasn't added a link to Google Voice from GMail. You can bookmark Google Voice if you don't want to type it in. Also, if you use Firefox, there is an extension called GButts that allows you to go to Google's various services via buttons on the toolbar.

I'll look into that, right now my work around is I have the GoogleVoice URL in an email that I have saved in Drafts, I open it, click on the link and it goes to GoogleVoice, sounds like adding as a bookmark would eliminate some steps after logging into GMail, thank you

Here's the thing...

Anyone can have a Gmail account now, thus the link from Google Voice makes perfect sense.
However, only select few (compared to those that dont) have GV, so from Gmail there is no reason to have a link at this time.

well, I end up using the "My Account" link. which by the way has a "My products" section that only shows the 'products' you've actually logged into/use.
soo, they have a way to only put the link if you have the service.
and there are TONS of reasons to have it now. for example people don't use something that's not easy to use. I hardly use my gv partially due to this.
