Hi guys... pardon my ignorance here...but.. I have been using google voice along with my sprint number for a year now. So far so good.

Just got myself a new HTC TP2... and it latches on pretty good to the wifi at home and work. Awesome!

My question is... is there a way to use wifi to use google voice (so I can save on minutes)... cuz it still uses the phone line. I do have Gizmo and I do have google voice.... any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers!

Not that I am aware of...even if you use the web interface or iDialer, it still just initiated GV to call you then connect the call. It might work if you dual boot into Android and use the GV app there, I've never tried it but it's worth a shot.

Thanks guys!
Appreciate ur help.... but do u agree... that someone needs to come up w/ an app that would allow that.... for eg. I can place calls from web...(using gizmo or gv's softphones).... so something along those lines would be awesome huh....

Cheers! Thanks again!

just to confirm there is no way to use VOIP of any sort using a wifi connection or DATA without using minutes

So no one has developed a IP phone or SIP phone dialer for WM?

pretty sure there is native support for it, but the carriers squelched it for far too long..

a quick search lead me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...light=sip+voip

ive had a GV number for a long time, rarely ever actually used it though..

i thought the whole point of GV was to NOT use minutes??

in the begining remember we could set it up to be free incoming and outgoing minutes, as far as our carriers were concerned, atleast thats how i remembered it.. guess i never actually tested the theory though by using it, then going to usage and checking for increase..
