Google Voice invites and requests

This is an attempt to clean up the threads. It's getting pretty old reading about people's requests for GV invites in pretty much EVERY thread.
Rules:
-ONLY POST TO THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVE INVITES TO GIVE OUT!
People with GV invites to give out:
-Post the number of invites you have/are willing to give away.
-Once you are out of invites, EDIT your original post showing that you have none to give out.
People requesting a GV invite:
- PM the person that says they have an invite, they will edit their post once they run out.
- DO NOT ASK FOR INVITES ON THE THREAD...let's keep it clean of requests, this will allow all people looking for invites to know exactly who has invites to give out
Let's hope this brings a little organization to the GV invite debacle we currently have.
NOTE:
To check if you have invites
~Use web to log into GV: http://www.google.com/voice
~Number of invites is in the lower left hand corner
To PM a person:
~click on the user name of who you want to PM
~ select 'Send Private message to <USER NAME>'

I HAVE NO MORE INVITES
I will update this post if/when I get more.
DO NOT POST TO THIS THREAD ASKING FOR AN INVITE!
I will edit my post once my GV inivite goes out...if you didn't get a responce PM from me, you were not first...sorry. I'm sure others will post stating thay have invites to give out.

Gone, Will post with more in the future

Currently 0 invites

If I had invites, where would I see them? I've never used the interwebs interface with google voice (just on my phone). You might want to include that information in the OP for people like me who can easily overlook the obvious.

You don't need an invite try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5855342&postcount=49
It worked for me.

durandetto thanks for the tip. For anyone else looking to set up google voice you dont need to sign up all you have to do is download the app and your ready for set up.

Thanks man..Can someone lend me a hand on setting up this Google Voice...My gmail is [email protected] , just hit me on GTalk

Hey, I'm not sure if I can ask a question regarding GV, but I'll try it and I'm sorry if I wasn't supposed to.
I try to set up my GV, but when I call the number it beeps twice - four times and then disconnects with a "call lost" message. Everything looks right, but when I call myself and leave a voicemail I get a stupid text saying I have a voicemail and need to call some number to get it (not a GV number or any associated with me). When I go to the Voice app, I have the welcome voicemail and no others. It has a number it set for the voicemail number and Google voice as the voicemail service. I've tried signing out and back in, but it keeps trying to get me to call the number with the * in front of it and I keep getting the "call lost" error. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using the latest version of DamageControl. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Got it working. Needed to change it from Google Voice to Carrier.

removed thanks

I can't see where to find the invites at on my g-voice account...

Google Voice

I realize that there's been a lot of people wanting an invite for google voice and i haven't really been interested in it. HOWEVER, since installing Fresh 2.0b (love it), I'm interested in google voice. Can someone send me an invite?
EDIT: Just letting everyone know that I've requested an invite from google twice in the past 3 months...heard nothing

i don't have any yet, but i bought mine on ebay for $1.59 and it was legit... as soon as i paid and checked my mail inbox the invite was there... I know i paid for something that should've been free, but $1.59 wasn't going to kill me, and i didn't want to wait for someone to have a spare invite

I just went to the market when I was using Damagecontrol and downloaded it and set it up, worked fine, but IMHO does not replace VVM! But then there is no VVM on 2.XX!

If anyone has any left i could use a few..

you don't need an invite. sign up for one, then go to the market and download the gv app. when it asks you to login, use the same info you requested the invite with, done.

You need to disregard that and dial *28googlevoice# now. It told you to dial that number cause it didnt recognize your phone correctly as Sprint.

Anyone has any spare invites. Tried the method someone posted however as someone else mentioned got the phone could not be verified error.

I just wanted to point out that you guys without an invite are not really experiencing google voice. It is a service not an app. It just happens to have an app. So without the service your missing the whole point of what google voice is....
With that said GV would not be a good replacement for VVM without the entire package.

I was able to get the Whole Service without an invite. It initially just set up as voicemail, but I logged in online and requested to change it to a google number and it all went fine. Now I have a google number instead of the general # that only works for voicemail.

***CONFIRMED THAT THIS WORKS***
come get ur google voice account, i have used all the features i know how to use including multiple greetings for different groups and getting a personal google voice number that Im able to foward calls from that # to my cell.
just install the app from the marketplace and follow the setup instructions, then go to google.com/voice and sign in with the email you used and setup your google voice number! BAM!

i need one too tried youmail didnt really like it [email protected]

I still get "Your phone number could not be verified" if someone has invites I sure could use a hook up.

What is it that makes Sprint VM better than Google Voice voicemail??
They both have an app for your Hero
On both you can click and listen to your voicemail
Oh, Google voice transcribes voice to text for free.
I think using google voice for just voicemail is still better than Sprint VM.

[Q] VOIP

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!!

CSipSimple + Sipgate + GV callback. Best solution i've found so far.

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

I may be doing something wrong, because whenever I try to make a phone call from sipdroid it will attempt to make the call, then just end it.

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 am really confused with all of this!!!
I have a google voice account/ With number
I have an IPKall account/ With number
I have a PBXes account (that I made on their site) are you saying I should
delete that now? I dont see an option in sipdroid to make a new account (from the tablet)
I am so lost here! I am getting mixed up information all over the net I did some research and I keep seeing posts on other sites saying I need to "PAY" for voIP svc.... But is that some type of hoax? I think it can be done with just google voice and sipdroid/ pbxes.
All I want to do is make phone calls from my tab ... its so hard!
Thanks for all of your help everyone!!!

can you use these with stock TNT? I have market fix and enhancement pack.

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?

[Q] MMS on Google Voice

Hi everyone. I have the Nexus 5 but I do not have a wifi plan. I have a Google Voice number and I have set up everything for texting and calling and I am using sliding messenger pro as my default texting app but it still does not let me send MMS through it. What apps are there that allow me to send MMS through Google Voice

Let's be clear. Google Voice doesn't 'do' MMS at all. If someone on Sprint or T-Mobile sends an MMS to your Google Voice number, it will get forwarded to the email address associated to your GV number. You'll get an SMS telling you that an MMS was received. If someone from AT&T or Verizon sends you an MMS to your GV number, it vaporizes into the interwebs.

Yeah, even SMS is broken for many users in Google Voice right now. It seems that many cannot get messages in the new Hangouts if sent from Voice due to a recent update. I don't know if it affects everyone, but it certainly does me. You can still get the Gmail notifications, but I don't get the messages in Hangouts.

We're working towards something. I'm throwing out ideas.
If your not going to contribute, why say anything?

MMS forwarding is essentially what GVoice does & to the best of my knowledge it has to be carrier enabled as well. At this time that includes Sprint & Tmo only, unless something has changed.
