A webservice GVmax moniters your google voice account and sends the sms to your phone immediately. All you have to do is give them your google login creds.
Seems like a good way to save some battery life and do more gv texting. Just thought I'd share.

I'm new. But isn't it a bad idea to give a relatively new web site that much access to your life?

I'm talking about if you use the GV app on your android device. The most you can set the notifications to check is every 5 mins and that's a battery killer.
Uhmmm y not just forward them to your phone number from gv ? Instant
Edit: u can even reply to the sms gv sends u

Now we just need an app that lets you make and receive calls over wifi/data with our GV numbers
Best solution I've seen so far... This does it all... you just need a gtalk client and a callback phone(your carrier number, voip client w/service and pstn set up or your google talk on your computer). I'm using it with palringo and agephone over wifi only(my radio isn't even turned on) and it works great! =D
I can't get it to work, but lots of people have had success with Ultimate VOIP which can be found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908783 It uses the system's built in contact list and dialer.
I think this would be awesome paired with either Beejive IM or Palringo on your winmo phone.

i have been using GV lately, love it esp because i can sms from my pc, but does anyone know of a way to push sms to phone, because the official GV app only does pull or you have to manually refresh the app to get sms, i wish it was instant.

You can change how often it updates but I think the lowest you can go is every 5 min.
and that still doesnt always refresh properly. I even searched on GV help forum the refresh 5 min rate sometimes doesnt work.
Isn't there a setting in Google Voice to forward SMS to your mobile number? Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it does give you "push" SMS...

When i had my iphone i faced this problem. What you can do is create another gmail address, i.e. [email protected], go into your g voice settings in a browser and set it to forward sms to above email address. since the gmail app on android is push, you will get an email with the sms in it. you can reply to it just like you would a normal sms.

Yes, you could, which is actually what i do now since i dont need that method anymore. they forward to my regular email address, get a label applied and marked as read. Then if i need to reply from my computer i can just reply from my email rather than having to log into gv.
I had them seperated at first though on the iphone so i could keep the accounts seperate. hated digging through emails to find sms'

Hi,
I've seen many articles describe how back in the day you could make a Gizmo5 account and tie it to your google voice account and thereby make free calls using google voice. I've looked around for a bit for a solution that doesn't require Gizmo5 but haven't found anything as of now. I've seen some mentions of using at least in part SIPgate and SIPdroid but, from what I understand, if you can get that to work it only solves the issue of incoming calls. Does anyone have a current and complete method (preferably from start to finish) to set up something like this?
You can accomplish this by using Google Voice, IPKall, PBXes.org (or a similar service) and an app like GVCallback plus whichever SIP app you'd like to use (I like CSIP). There are tutorials out there, Google is your friend. A little too involved for me to go into detail at the moment but it's possible and it does work once setup properly. Basically: setup an account with PBXes.org, get telco # from IPKall (that forwards to your PBXes.org account). Next you setup Google Voice to forward to your IPKall #. At this point you'll be able to receive calls to your GV # but not dial out. To call out, setup GVCallback. Now when you dial-out, Google Voice will ring your phone first, you answer - then GV rings the # you dialed and connects the call - for free.
Just keep in mind, if you use too much bandwidth, PBXes.org will cut you off unless you upgrade to a premium account. Hope that helps.

there are free sip providers without that limitation... a quick google search should turn up a ton of them.
If you're inside US, Google Voice will be the best answer. Or you can also use Skype or Fring with very low rate.

even if you're outside the US, you can get a free number from ipkall to use with google voice and get free calling to the US and canada and low rates (about the same as skype or fring) to anywhere else.
Hello beautiful XDA community! How is everyone doing on this fine valentines? I hope well! Since I dont have a valentine, I thought I would spend tonight with my most closest thing to me these days..... my tablet
Anyways all jokes aside, I want to use my vegan tablet to make phone calls over wifi... or even tether the connection from my samsung captivate galaxy S... is there any way to do so?
Like, I'd like to be able to call actual phone numbers and not "SIP"'s ... is that even possible? LOL, I installed a few apps, but the write ups are so damn confusing!
Thanks!!

LOL, thanks!
I actually tried that route a while back, and the activation code that sipgate sent to me doesn't work... LOL, I even cut and paste it from the email they sent me and their website says it's invalid.
I have actually sent their support team an email a few times regarding this, but now one ever responds ... and when you call their support number it always goes to a voicemail with no call back.
LOL, just my luck heh? Wanna share your activation code with me?
If you have a Google Voice account, try installing Sipdroid from market. When you run it, it'll ask if you want to create an account on pbxes.com. After that you can call out to phones from your Gtab.
If you go into your GV settings using a browser, you can receive calls.
That's what worked for me, but caveat is I had stuff like the GV app already installed before I tried this, and I'm not 100% sure if anything other than Sipdroid and a GV account are needed.
Good luck,
Jim

Well, it looks like I got something set up right... cause the little log in is now registering with a green light. THe problem now is that when I try to make a phone call, it tells me that the call can not be placed at this time... Any idea of what I can look into and why it's not allowing me?
TIA!!!
Are you using Sipgate or pbxes?
The issue with your sipgate code may be that it expires after something like four hours. I ran into that and I just re-did my registration and got a new one sent out to me.
I didn't go with PBXes because I saw something about it requiring my Google password. I'm not down with handing that out in the open like that. So I stuck with SipGate and I've had no problems.
Let us know with service you are using and I'm sure someone can give you some assistance.
Thanks for your reply! I am using sipgate with with pbxes... am I totally doing it wrong?
Im sorry, Im actually using sipdroid with PBXes... sorry for the confusion.

Install Google Voice. Install Sipdroid from Market. don't go to the pbxes.org website and create an account; let Sipdroid do that. (My big error). Sipdroid will make an account on pbxes.org on your behalf. Use sipdroid to make call.
I now need to figure out how to use my bluetooth headset to be the microphone. Other than that it worked out of the box. Although I apparently sounded like I was "underwater".

I had done the same thing as you going to the pxbes.org site and setting up an account. I couldn't get it to work. I went back to the sipdroid app, started it up (make sure your network connection is working obviously) and it set up the pxbes.org account automagically. It worked for there. Asked me my GV number, my google account password (it needs to log in to your account to forward calls). I didn't try calling in only calling out but that worked fine. Proof of concept for me as I would just use my cellphone or landline but it did work.

2.01 beta is what I have, and it automatically created a obsession acct. I think you had to set things up manually before, when they had the older version. There are some webpages that go through the steps, but they were too confusing to me, until they added the acct creation.
BTW I get an FC when I try to start the dialpad. Is that working fir anyone?

This is because you are only setting up a free account with CallCentric. You can only talk to other CallCentric users for free over the SIP connection. Unless you are going to purchase time there this will be of limited use for voice calls.
Texting however is another matter. This is working QUITE nicely for that. Texting on my Gtab....didn't think I would see that.
My only question is if sending texts counts as usage on the IPkall account. If it doesn't I will have to make a point of actually calling the number once a month to keep it active.
Nice work here.

I could get a call to make the tab ring but no voice so I went looking at the websites...
Right off CallCentric's page per the link:
"IP Freedom does not allow you to call traditional landline and mobile phones. If you like the idea of the Callcentric IP Freedom plan, but need to make calls to traditional phones please take a look at our Pay Per Call plan."
I may be missing something, but I assume that is the issue. I am not sure why they have us install the dialer software since you can dial through CSip.
Oops
Well, I stand corrected. I messed with it a little more and I am able to get incoming calls.
The outgoing cannot be made directly. You have to call Google Voice and have it place the call/call you back. The directions have us installing an old version of Voice which I am not keen on.
Gonna play with it some more.
Tablet as Phone
Ok, I can text successfully to & from the tab and I can take incoming calls.
Not having any luck making outgoing calls. Google Voice Callback is not seeming to intercept the outgoing call to have Google voice place it and call my back so CallCentric is denying the call since it is not to one of their clients. Not sure what the problem is here.
Further I can't use Dialerone at all. Every time I try to use it to place an outgoing call it gives the famous android.process.acore error. I reviewed my complete contact list & cleared out entries causing prior problems and cleared my contact storage, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Anyone here having luck with this?
Hey everyone its good to see my tutorial made it over here. If you have any questions you can ask me over here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...s/7218-how-make-receive-free-calls-texts.html and then you can get your question answered faster
Skype
I use Skype to make calls. It works pretty well. I don't receive calls with it because I don't pay extra for a phone number but I do have a Skype acct to make calls to land lines.
On skype the microphone works pretty well while it sits in my lap.
I have the C&C Froyo setup on my gTab.
Oh. I should have mentioned that I have not been able to use Skype video calling. At some point I'm pretty sure that will be working but I'm been following other threads for now and I find 99% of my calls are not video anyway. My laptop works better for that anyway because of how I can set in on the counter.
GrooveIP works directly with your Google Voice number - no need to redirect to another system. GrooveIP is not free, but for a few dollars,it gives you the ability to make and receive calls. Paired with the Google Voice app, you have voicemail and SMS all on your gTablet.
I've been happy with Skype as well.I actually think Skype works better with the mic compared to GrooveIP, although both do work well. Of course, with Skype, you have to have SkypeIn, SkypeOut subscriptions, or Skype credit to make calls to landlines.

I can make video calls on skype. Video quite bad, but it works. Im on TNT Lite 4.4
You need the latest skype, and have to enable video in the settings.
For those of us on sprint google voice is exceptionally awesome. I have google voice on my gtab combined with my sprint cell number and I am able to make and recieve text messages. It's pretty awesome. I've been told using gooveip works very well with it but I haven't bought it just yet. Right now I just don't see the need for it.

You are correct this is up to date and all of the links should be working. I continue to update my thread to make sure everything still works. I just ported my moms old land line number that she has had for like 20 years over to Google voice and then did this same setup for her so she can still have her land line number and a "home phone" with out having to pay a dime extra for it.
Hi,
If you are familiar with making voice calls via WiFi, can you please recommend an app to use? I know of Hangout, Skype and Viber but I often use regular phone calld and SMS texting. But recently my buddy had moved to a place where phone reception is very bad. We need to look for an alternative using WiFi. Can you please advise an app to use (even if it's different than the 3 above). The requirements are modest:
1- Light resources
2- Text messaging, Voice call, Video call is welcome but not necessary
3- App should not interfer to propose ads or offers or features unrelated to basic audio and text messaging. For example, Viber stickers is something I deem as useless.
4- App should work in WiFi and Data mode.
5- Both of us use Android. Interoperability with other systems would be welcome but not necessary.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This doesn't bode well for the longevity of the app. Furthermore, this apps is VoIP based and requires Google Voice account that we don't have.
try 'Line' for talk or text. I've used it successfully to communicate to the other side of the planet. I am not sure about it's use of resources but it seems to work well enough.

Thanks for the info. It looks like HangOut can do the job. Overall it does what we need. One of the nice feature is that we can use a computer to send message to HangOut on a phone. Even better on Linux, we can use Pidgin to send these text msg.
Viber is OK but it's sign up procedure is weird, the device must have a SIM card for Viber to work, even if we only use WiFi.
Skype seems to have inferior voice/audio quality compared to HangOut. Also Skype consumes more resources. Whether it's on the phone or a computer. However, Skype has a big advantage that it has a desktop client on all OS platform. Overall, we found that HangOut fits best our needs. Hope that Google will makes a Desktop version of HangOut on Linux.
