Google Voice for outgoing exclusively on EVO?

[clockcycle]

Anyone using Google Voice app to make outgoing calls exclusively on their EVO?

Considering it uses a data connection, it does not require or use up any of your plan's minutes.

You could just put your phone on the cheapest plan possible, without worrying about your minutes used to call land lines during peak hours.

I was considering this, especially since I have the free incoming calls perk on my plan, but want other's opinions.

Also, anyone use it's voice mail feature, replacing Sprint's?

I have have the everything data with 1500 shared minutes that is only charged to landlines and never come close to using even the smallest portion of them. And that is sharing with a family of 4 and we don't have a landline.

Same here, 1500 on 4 lines and never come close to using half our minutes. We have 10 days until the next cycle and we still have ~1300 minutes left. The free mobile to mobile is great since almost everybody we call is on a cell. The only reason we have a home phone is because it was free with our cable bundle.

I use Google Voice for my voicemail though.

I don't think GV uses data for outgoing calls...it uses your minutes.

to me the whole google voice thing is cool if your with another provider but sprint has free mobile to mobile no matter who the persons carrier is that your calling... and the only ppl i know with lan lines are senior citizens so even though im using the cheapest 1500 minute family plan i only use around 150 minutes a month and thats sharing 4 lines!! so with sprint i dont see a purpose

That's correct, it uses minutes. That is why you need the Free Pick 3 any numbers add-on. And Set your Google Voice # as one of the 3. Then all calls to or from your phone, via your GV number are not charged to your minutes!

Not sure if can still be added for free or not. Give it a try! I added it over a year ago.

If your calling any type of business, working with a bank/lender(many calls in the last few weeks for me buying a new house tomorrow,) calling your work, your using minutes.

For me, it helps a lot because I'm not on an everything plan with my TP2. After 22%discount I pay $43/month for 525min and unlimited data w/1000 txts.
