I have a google voice account and number, but want to use my default mobile number rather than my google voice number with all the google voice features/services.
IE. I want to be able to send text messages through the google voice site as my mobile number and get my voicemails transcribed etc.
How do I do this?
I didn't know where to ask this, but I supposed any question can be asked here, thanks!

Hi,
now that Gmail added (on the desktop version) the possibility to make a call to a land line in real voip, I was wondering if there was a way to use this "call" option directly from our Captivate.
I would like to be able to call people thru Google Voice without using my call plan but only use my data plan (I still have unlimited data).
Thanks
There is an app called Google Voice.

Thanks, for the info, I know that, but this app call you back and use your voice plan. I'm looking for a way to use a way do go full VOIP with gvoice like you can fin on your pc/mac when you open your browser on gmail.com a look under "chat" you will have a "call" button.
Try it
I think google is to afraid of alienating carriers, which would alienate manufacturers, to try that just yet.
Saw an article today describing how to setup Google Voice to allow you to transfer a call you receive via Google Voice to the Gmail Chat call function. However, it requires that you have Gmail open in a browser on your computer.
Overall it can save you some cell phone call minutes, but it may not be the solution you are looking for.
So I am an avid google voice user, and I upgraded my incredible to the OMGB-6 ROM, and I don't know what's going on. There is no longer a Google Voice app in the Market (I guess it's not compatible with gingerbread yet) however every once and a while I will get a call from Google Voice that has the CORRECT caller ID and when I answer gives me all of those voicemail options. However, text messages arent going through at all, even though in my settings it is setup to forward the text messages to the phone. Please note that the account my phone is setup with is the same gmail account that I use to login to Google Voice.
What's going on here?
Thanks,

As an iphone user and a heavy google voice user I'm a bit frustrated at how google voice can't integrate with my iphone. On the iphone I will have to open a third party app or the official GV app to make a call/send it text via google voice. That's fine but the problem on the iphone is you can't choose the native apps or change the default system actions. Thus when you want to send a link to the webpage via sms the iphone will automatically use it's own client and your default carrier number, when you want to dial out using voicecommands or a bluetooth headset you'll dial out using the native iphone caller client and your default carrier number (you get the gist of this).
I know that andriod phones have varying degrees of google voice integration. I know some phones give you the option of choosing between your numbers when you dial out and stuff like that. My question is how does this work on newer phones and phones with jellybean? If I want to text a link from my browser using my google voice number - can I do so directly or do I need to go about the roundabout way of copying the link and pasting it from say the google voice application? If I want to make a handsfree call from my headset using my google voice number - can this be easily done? I know jellybean has the feature where you can send a handsfree text message - can I do so from my google voice number (not the default carrier number)?
Does this integration carry over to third party apps? If you want to send a link from within an application will you be able to do so directly using your google voice number? If you use a driving hands free assistant link vlingo can you designate your outgoing texts and calls to be your google voice number.
Thanks guys and sorry for the cluster of questions.
I'm not sure if this is a new google feature or an issue on my end.
I use the native messaging app to send out sms to certain people to display my carrier provided number and the google voice app to send out sms to other people to display my google voice number. i discovered that regardless of using google voice or the native messaging app(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507720), it was going through as my google voice number (e.g. google voice and/or native messaging app sends sms as google voice number). this is what i originally thought was happening until i discovered that if i send an sms with the native messaging app to another user with google voice installed, it goes through as my google voice number. if i send an sms with the native messaging app to someone without google voice installed, it displays my carrier provided number.
*obviously if i send an sms from the google voice app, it shows up as the google voice number*
i'm not exactly sure how to fix this. i could be completely wrong in the scenario above because i've only tested it with several other friends. i have made no changes to my google voice web settings, nor my google voice app and native messaging app.
any help is greatly appreciated.
i'm on verizon, gs3 android 4.1.1
even with google voice uninstalled and the phone rebooted, sending from the native messaging app sends through as my google voice number
bump
anyone?
Install the Google voice app and in the app settings. Click on send text through app instead of through phone messaging app. This might help

I have Google Voice, and I want to be able to sms from Sliding Messenger Free - can't post the link because I am a new member but it is on the play store.
I am having trouble getting the number to show up as my google voice # for the recipient.
I have GV set to receive texts to sliding messenger, but when I go to sliding messenger to send one it displays my service number. It works fine for replying to messages though.
On Google Voice website I have it set to use my Google Voice number when sending sms so I don't know why it isn't working.
