@buddell3 yes it works in canada. in order to get a number, search "google voice" add a google account and it will give you a number. calls anywhere in the u.s. and canada are free.
@kghfairy It uses the internet for calling, so if you are at home it would use your Wi-Fi so that would basically be free, if you use it over 3G while not connected to a Wi-Fi network it would use your phone's data plan. So not actually free but could be close to free.
@buddell3 As far as I know it does not work in Canada, you would have to hide your IP address and I don't think there are any Canadian area codes available. But you might want to check with Google Voice help to make sure.
@trufiend138 Google Voice is not a VOIP service, it is a call routing service. So when you use Google Voice from your cellphone you use your cellphone minutes. You can use the Talkatone iPhone app to route your calls through the internet so you don't use callphone minutes (you will use some of your data plan). You can also use GV's ClickToCall feature and a service like Sipgate so you don't use your cellphone minutes.
@REblissdotcom until this weekend I was using google voice on my ipod (free calls if wifi is around)...now i have iphone, and i have way more talk minutes than allotted data on my plan!!! how much data does it use?
hello Bryan i just tried more than many time to get google call but i can not figure it out , there are showing that WAITHING FOR ANSWER WI-FI instead of showing me CALLING ACTIVE.. Bryan how u got any idea for that ,, anyway i am Ye, using it in Swithzerland...
@MyaMyoye Sorry I don't think I can help. I believe Google Voice and Gmail Phone services are only offered and supported in the USA. I am not sure how you might use it in Swithzerland
I went from $260/month to $120/month with google voice. Don't have to pay for texting, a lot of minutes, or any shit like that anymore. :) I love my google voice!
@jsrf You should be able to if they both have Talkatone installed. You can make and receive phone calls with talkatone. Each iPod would have to have their own Google Voice Number. It might be easier to use Skype, Fring, or Viper - you can make free phone calls with these iPhone apps as long as both users have accounts.
@BeekSizl I love the app too! It is really easy to use and works great. Like you, I am able to use it to reduce the number of cell minutes I use each month.
I LOVE this app, but I do have one question.....recently, whenever I hit the speakerphone button on the app, it just mutes the call. Any idea how to fix that?
I tried it and it worked. However, I deleted it and changed my Google account password immediately. I couldn't find their privacy policy statement. I will not use it until I read the privacy statement.
@hugowla Thanks for tip, probably a good idea. I just uploaded a new video that shows another way to make free phone calls using Google Voice on your iPhone. Google has updated their app to include the Click2Call feature. Be sure to check out the video!
@dancer2cry4 Sorry to hear you can't get it to work. The app has been running in the background of on my iPhone when I receive calls. You must make sure you have your Google Voice number forwarded to "Google Chat". Under setting - voice setting - Phones - mark the box next to Google Chat. If you have already done this and it is still not working you might want to contact the developer.
