[RELEASE] Google Voice app

[facemob]

im gonna give it a try

[pjsnyc]

Shouldn't this go in the software section?

Anyway, question - do you need WM6.5 for this to work? I thought I read somewhere that widgets are only available for 6.5.

Thanks, this is working great on my Sprint TP running Mighty Final (WM 6.1 ROM)

Once you get a Google Voice account, you get a number which can ring up to 6 phones all at the same time, I guess after you enter the other numbers in the GVoice setting menu.

Example: Lets say your GV number is 563-583-4632.....you can have it set to ring your mobile/home/office/onstar at the same time...etc....

Pros
Unified communications through one single phone number.
Voice to text transcription of voicemails.
Free calls to the US. Competitive rates for outgoing international calls.
Free service, open to anyone.
Many interesting features, including call recording, conferencing etc.

Cons
Existing phone number cannot be ported to Google Voice. (Update: this is changing soon)
Available only for users in the US, as calls cannot be forwarded abroad.
Outgoing calls cannot be recorded.

You got the gist of it. You can also free SMS messages. Plus you can combine Google Voice with other services to get free incoming/outgoing phonecalls (see: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthr...id=0&t=1475191 and http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthr...id=0&t=1480557)

This app basically brings up the mobile version of the GV site. From there you can check your voicemail or make a call or send an SMS from your GV number.

Not gonna lie here but the title of this thread baited me in at the speed of a red light camera on a speeder, with wide eyes and a feeling of glee and relief...

However...

Not at all what I was expecting lol.

Seems like a hit/miss app. I'll still try this out though...

what good is this if you dont have a grandcentral or google voice account?
