Google Voice Dialer for WM

NetApex · #1 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 01:58 AM

http://bit.ly/SAS9q - A new Google Voice dialer has been released (not from Google) to help with the annoyance of having to dial out to your GV number and then dial the number you are trying to reach. It comes with a 30 day free trial which hopefully will be long enough for Google to release their own version. If not I am sure most of us will have reflashed our phones by then. Even if not, the $10 price tag is not too steep for the ease of use.

well, its made by www.mobile-mx.com but everything on gvdialer.com looks an awful lot official google.
i'm not sure google could be keep up with all the different phone model and O/S's.
besides $10 isn't bad for a app that just plain works well.

we'll see how well it works for me today.

Yeah I have been using it so far and it isn't too bad. Some of the times it doesn't pop up like it should and I have to disconnect the call and try it again before it realizes that it should have dialed. But otherwise it does a decent job. There needs to be a cancel button though so that if you start dialing and say suddenly your boss walks in with urgent news you can quickly hang up instead of having to wait for the progress bar to go away first.

I use idialer which has google voice dialing built in (free app) but I'll have to check this out to see if it's any better since it's a paid app. My only complaint with idialer is that you lose smartdialing when you use it over the default dialer.

Not to sound like a Uber Ka-Noober but what's the smartdailer on the default dailer. I'm just trying to get as much info on this idailer app and this other gv app so I'll know which I wanna use when I get my GV invite

Ok just installed it and I now understand what djheir was referring to about not having smart dialing. (Smart dialing is being able to start a number and have it automatically search your contacts/history and offer suggestions on the number you are trying to reach.) The advantage I have found to the other program is that it uses your native dialer/contacts/whatever you click on to dial. It attempts to intercept the dialing process and toss the number into the Google Voice dialing procedure. If it worked 100% of the time (which it just may on stock roms) I wouldn't even bother looking around to see what else was available. But like I said, it is in beta so hopefully the bugs will be worked out soon.
