What if I forward all my calls from my cell phone numbers to my google voice number (using *72 from Verizon, my cell carrier), which in turn forwards the call BACK to my cell since I have it that way in Google Voice settings? Would that maybe add too much of a delay from when someone calls me to when i get the call, or do you guys think it will work? Let me know if I am saying it in a confusing way, hopefully you guys know what Im talking about

That Idialer program posted above looks interesting, I wonder how it will work on my Omnia...

I don't think it would work as the call would get stuck in a loop. unless you can selectively call fwd, or us voip to answer the call.

Edit; actually if you can set fwding on busy/no answer on the cell, then you could ignore the call 1st, then answer when gv calls

so far I'm impressed, although I don't have a land line handy to test some of the stuff and see how it works. the v/m 2 sms is sweet!

only thing it's missing is fax or @ least fax detection for fwding. it's not a huge deal, as I only need to get fax's from a few #'s and I can manually set them.

Really wish google send me my invite

but glad to see everyone enjoying it. But question when you finally do set up ur google voice account. Do google give you your number or do you make a number up?

You put in the aread code, city, or zip code. They give you options and you pick one.

What have you guys done, just given your GV number to everyone you know now? I hate having this awesome tool and not being able to use it

I would do that. What I would do is give ur GV # to new ppl from now on and give ur GV # to ppl who maybe just maybe in the future you might need to block be like here is my new # I changed my old one. And give out your real number to important ppl. That's what imma do. I don't see the need to give everyone who has your real number your GV # but anybody from here on out I would just give my GV # too

I got my invite Friday. I had trouble verifying my phone # until I switched to a pc running Google Chrome.

I haven't played w/ all the features yet, but one of them that sounds interesting is the option to personalize greetings by caller.
I'm gonna have a lot of fun w/ that one.

After I entered my zip, it showed me the #'s I could choose from.
I took the area code and prefix, and started looking for easy #'s to remember.
For example:
If you #'s are (213) 970-????
You could search for 1234 or 2020 or spell something out.
A guy named Mike could search for (213) 970-MIKE(6453)

yup, I got 555-matt

and i'm getting cards made up with that #, cuz I really didn't want to print my cell # on cards that would get floated around. I've been specifically waiting for this #. now I have txt and email to remind me to call someone back, otherwise I always forgot.

but like I told my mom, important ppl will still use my real #, at least until I'm sure the service is stable.

Just wanted to add that this program is awesome.

I installed it yesterday, and have been making calls through Google Voice from my phone seemlessly.

Thanks.

(and by thanks, I mean I actually hit the Thanks button on your post)
