No, I haven't....

I'm on an Grandfathered Alltel contract with Verizon Wireless

You don't need a Google Voice App to use the service. Either dial your Google Voice number and then hand-dial the number you're trying to reach... or, simply access the Google Voice mobile webpage. From there you can search and call your contacts, send SMS messages, listen to your voicemail, and check your call logs.

Eventhough I'm somewhat content with that, I would still love a Windows Mobile App that can access the service and make my life easier. I'm clueless when it comes to programming, but if anyone decided to create an App, I'd definitely use it.

A sad part of this Google Voice Service is that people are abusing it by selling this left and right. THIS SERVICE IS 100% FREE DON'T BE FOOLED!!!

May be a silly question, but have you tried a soft reset or a hard reset? Good luck!

I am sorry if this was covered already, but I was looking for an easy way to dial out from the contacts screen on my phone using my Google Voice number, but could not find anything that would do exactly that. I thought I'd share the method I found to easily do that:

1) In your Google Voice settings, make sure that "Voicemail access" is set to "Yes" with "PIN not required".
2) Install the attached CAB and restart your phone.
3) In your Programs, run CallingCard, and select Menu > Add
4) Fill out as below:

Name: Google Voice
Access#: 1112223333p2 (where 1112223333 is your 10-digit Google Voice number)
Set Insert to "None"
Pin#: # (just the "pound" sign, nothing else)
Set Insert to "None"
Leave Intl. Access # blank
Dial Sequence: Set to "Phone# + Pin"

5) Click Save, select the newly created "Google Voice", and "Activate". That's it!

Now whenever you want to call using your Google Voice number, just browse to your contacts, tap and hold your contact, and select the CallingCard option.

It's working great for me... I personally wanted something simple that would let me dial out and integrate well with my phone contacts, and this seems to do the trick.

To modify the voicemail access setting: log-in to your Google Voice account, click on Settings, "Phones" tab, and press "Edit" near your cell phone number. Then click on "Show advanced settings" and you will see the voicemail access settings.

Hope this helps!
