Google Voice account required, currently only available in the US. IMPORTANT: You must open Google Voice at least once after upgrading to route calls. Google’s Google Voice app for Android offers full integration between your phone and the Google Voice system, allowing you to both make and receive calls from your Google Voice telephone number.

There are a lot of reviews on android marke, good or bad. What do you think of it?
Who wants to know?
I LOVE Google Voice, one of the main reasons I bought an android in the first place....
but as the screenshot in the original post depicts - I HATE having my voicemails, missed calls, and text messages all in one 'inbox'.
I know I can go into the menu, go into 'labels', and select the 'text label only', but that is a pain to do every time.
Nothing would make me happier than to find an app similar to the new GV Mobile Plus app for the iPhone.... with a 'bar' at the bottom that easily allows switching between Voicemail, SMS, History, and Settings.
Anyone help finding such an app or utility would be greatly appreciated.

Works great for voicemail. Don't really use text that much. Would like the option to block callers within the app

There a number of benefits:
it allows you to use a second phone #. In my case, I use my Google Voice number as my primary number with friends/family/everything.
The Google Voice number can also be forwarded to multiple phones. For example, when someone calls my number, it rings my cell phone & house phone, as well as my computer, via Gmail. And because the Gmail function works via internet, as opposed to cell reception or phone line, I can use it in my basement for both calls and text messages (which are unlimited)
But the app itself, as I said in my original post, is lacking. It desperately needs updating. while i do use it as my primary messaging application, i really wish it was as intuitive as the GV Mobile Plus application for iPhone

Yep, it's free texting. I gave my Google Voice # to everyone that had my # and now they call and text that #. I no longer have to pay $10 or whatever it is a month to text, which over the course of a year saves $120ish. However, you do lose the ability to send picture messages, but I just upload them to Facebook and tag the people instead.
One thing I like about it is that since you are using your Google Voice # as your primary line it allows you to control if or when you receive phone calls. If I am working on a project and absolutely don't want to receive any phone calls then I can set it to "Do Not Disturb" and it will forward all phone calls straight to voicemail. You can also set it to forward calls to voicemail after a certain time so if you use it for your business then you can have an "Office is closed" voicemail, which sounds much more professional.
Also, one thing I like is that you can setup custom voicemail greetings based on who is calling. I have special voicemails setup for my parents so that when they get my voicemail it says "Hey mom, sorry I missed your call." You can set it up for anyone that way.
At work I constantly have Google Voice up on my computer and use it to text my boss and anyone else. It is much easier to type on my computer than on my phone.
The downside...you have to be mindful that if you call a lot of people on the same network as you then you will be charged minutes. My wife has started using it to call her family and we usually have no issues with our minutes, but since she started using it we almost went over. So we set it to "Ask me before each call" if we want to use Google Voice or our carrier to make the call.
Again, you do lose the picture/video messaging, but I'm okay with that.
Other than that I love it and don't see myself ever stopping using it.
I really wish it was in the UK I would love the chance to use it over here.

I've used Google Voice since it went public and love it. At first, I just signed up so I could get the phone number I wanted (my name) in case I wanted to use it in the future. But I started using it for everything. The pluses have already been stated and reviews are all over the web.
Some things I want to see in the next version:
Ability to separate voice messages from texts (as mentioned above).
Account Configuration from the phone not just the computer.
Ability to send MMS
Most importantly, I want the ability to fully integrate it as a replacement for the standard messaging app so the system and other programs (i.e. vlingo, swift keyboard, etc) can find and use it.
Right now Voice Search does not find Voice messages (major oversight by Google in my opinion).
HTH
I love the capabilities of it. I love having text messaging for free. I hate the app! it's so slow and needs MMS.
I signed up last month. I don't use it much. I wanted it because I had been thinking of switching to a NJ phone number since I moved here from PA 4 years ago. This way I didn't have to tell people my new number who have my old one already. I tried to get my first name as my number, but couldn't. I was able to get a number with the same last 4 digits so it is easy to remember. I Also got it because I wanted to be able to drop text messaging from Verizon. I don't know how to use google for sms instead yet though.
One thing I really like that I didn't expect was using the google voicemail. I love how it transcribes your messages. This way a lot of times I don't even need to listen to the recording. The transription is fairly good. You can figure out what it gets wrong. I also like how I can delete it right from th message screen and not have to use key prompts. I guess it is like what visual voicemail is kind of like, but for free.

It works, you just have to manually configure it. Go to your settings, voicemail, select "Google" for your VM provider and make sure your VM number is in the ph# field. Go onto the Google Voice website and select the option to make Google Voice your primary VM.
Great capabilities & having free text messaging is cool . As mentioned already, the app needs alot of work!
For some reason I can't get it to work on Sprint...

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.
Hey guys I havent been able to find anything current as if this was possible on android device.. I have JB IP4 and im using google voice sms through bitesms as my native app using the sms google voice extension. The way it works is that when the google voice app sends a push notification on the phone the google voice sms extension catches the push notification and sends it through bitesms as a normal sms. That way I was able to ditch the unlimited sms plan from ATT. Is something like that possible on android? Thats huge for me since 20 bucks a months is a damn ripoff. And i do lots and lots of txting lol. Thanks for any info =)
I've been an SMS GV Extensions user since it launched and finally bought an Android phone last week.
I took it for granted that Android would either do this already or be able to do this more easily (iOS required a jailbreak), but I instead find that you can only integrate incoming messages with the native Android messaging app and there doesn't seem to be a solution even with rooting your phone. This is disappointing, to say the least.
The fact that the Android GV app has an option in integrate inbound messages with the native messaging application but not outbound implies that is is a deliberate decision on Google's part because it is an obvious feature that is only half implemented. It is probably less a concern with cutting into the carriers' SMS revenue and more to do with constraining use of the service (Google has taken actions to curb heavy use in the past). If it integrated seemlessly, people would use it more.
This is something Google is just going to have to get over if they hope to remain competitive. There is some hope in that the new iMessaging that integrates with text messaging on iOS will put competitive pressure on them to do something similar with Android.
I will be first in line!
Psst... if anyone has found a way that I am unaware of despite constant searching in the past week, please advise us in this thread!
Google Voice Integration App?
I have not used this personally, and am in no way associated with the developer, but I found this app when searching for this exact functionality today. My Nexus S is currently integrated with GV on Sprint, so I have no way of actually testing whether this works or not, but if it does, its definitely worth $0.99!
I've been contemplating a switch to Verizon because of Sprint's slow network speeds, and would do so if I could have this functionality. If anyone has tried it, please provide feedback.

I just tried that app about 20 minutes ago. It shows promise. If you compose a message using the native SMS app it will send via Google Voice.
However, it doesn't integrate incoming messages. If you use GV's built in text forwarding, messages will come from your contact's alias (406, 973, etc) number. Also, you won't see messages you've sent using the Google Voice app or website in the native client.
I refunded it but I'll definitely buy again after improvements are made.
check out the google voice sms integration app on the market.
just search for mdrtools and u will find it.
Hi, I'm looking for an app that would allow me to use my secondary Google Voice number .. I hope this question is in the right place.
I searched Google and found only few posts where something like this was asked and no real answers there.
I am currently using GVoice with Sprint integration so the android Google voice app is being used by my sprint number and that takes the option of even signing out of the app away. What I need is a second app to let me sign in with my other Google Voice account and able to text and maybe make calls as well? but mostly I need it for the SMS.
I believe I can use grooveIP to make and receive VoIP calls with Gvoice.. but GrooveIP doesn't have SMS.
I know there are other options for SMS such as Pinger, TextMe, TextPlus and many more and I did try those three but none of them as good as Google voice and one reason is they don't give permanent number they will delete it if not used for 30 days and that's a problem for me.. also they don't save history but only for few days or weeks where with Gvoice my history is there however long I want to keep it.
I hope I made what I'm looking for clear
I have Sprint Evo 3D with stock rooted rom..
Thank you all in advance ..
Mr. Q
Hi,
Does anyone know if a Sprint Visual Voicemail App exists for the Nexus 5? I know I can use Google Voice, but I just don't like it. I have tried one 3rd party application, YouMail, but I didn't like that one either, it seemed to "heavy".
T-Mobile has a NICE visual voicemail system, I really like theirs.
I was thinking Sprint would have their own dedicated one, but that Sprint chat support has no idea what I am talking about and keep giving me weird directions to just setup regular voicemail, not visual voicemail.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Most of the ones in the play store, like Visual Voicemail, requires you to set up call forwarding for missed calls to their VOIP services. I felt uncomfortable with companies I never heard of having access to all my voicemails, contact info, etc.

Somehow I doubt Sprint will work on anything since they already support free Google Voice integration using your native Sprint number. So, unofficially, Google Voice is your Sprint Visual Voicemail. With the GV app, voice mail even integrates in to your call log.

This. Its kind of nice because you can listen to and scrub through voicemails, within the call app. however, I was a fan of my iphone's visual voicemail, which was nice because you just went into it and it listed all the voicemail you got. but the integration with google voice make it pretty spiffy, just not in the same aspect as having visual voicemail in its own spot.
OP, is there anything specific you don't like about google voice? if you log into your google voice account online, you can change settings and such. you can set it up to practically not even see google voice anymore, once the sprint integration with the phone app works for you.

Actually, if you open the GV app and select "Voicemail" from the top left drop down, Voicemail had it's own folder. The convince of also having full access to my voice mail and text messages on my phone, Nexus 7, and laptop, including bring able to send text messages from those devices makes GV worth it to me.

Yeah, I mean, I tried it. It just seemed to me, like Google was taking over my phone, IE the voicemail message, saying this Google subscriber canot come to the phone right now, I know I can customize that, but it made it seem like Google was taking the whole account of my phone and it just didnt sit well with me... Call me paranoid I guess :/
I liked the TMobile Visual Voicemail, its simplicity was nice, you just clicked on the voicemail, listened, done. Easy peasy

I personally dislike Google Voice for 3 reasons:
1) It's just flat out UGLY. The UI of the app is just not pleasant to look at and is in serious need of being updated to reflect Google's current design standards.
2) I don't like that it shows all my texts within the app. It makes no sense to me that they would even add texting functionality into a voicemail app. It's just totally unnecessary. I realize that I can disable SMS notifications in GV, but it's functionality that I don't want or need.
3) Why would I want to change my voicemail settings online and not within the app itself? It's completely inconvenient that I had to use a computer to remove the "press 1 to answer the g*dd*mn call" option that I found myself saddled with after activating GV for the first time. Ditto for the fact that I don't need an SMS message AND an email in addition to the GV notification when I get a voicemail, and the only option to change my notification settings is online. Why can't I just change all the settings right within the app?

I'll give you that. I'd still much rather be able to change all the settings right within the app.
I know OP asked about Sprint VVM and is aware of GV, but my experience with GV and the Nexus 5 has been very good. Sprint has a good arrangement with Google but i only use GV for VVM. If you skip the first prompt, tell it never to dial with GV, and then tell it to act as your VVM and confirm, it very much blends into the phone.
I get a notification with info and the option to play from the notification drop down. The VM plays via the dialer (stock dialer used to call/answer). You can delete it/call back etc via the dialer. I almost never find myself in the GV app at all, and when i do its the VM folder and looks basically like any other vmail. My sprint VM message plays for the caller too.
At first i was very angry i couldnt get the sprint VVM app, but after about a day or 2 i was actually liking the integration into the dialer. Now i think id be bothered now by the Sprint VVM app.
As others pointed out my VM's follow me to other devices or just about any browser as well. Additionally its very easy to download your messages for backup (altho i think you can download them via the sprint VVM too).
If i have the time later maybe ill post creen shots of the step by step setup to get things the way i have it.

apk version 1.0.4 has been attached to this post.
Change Log
Version - 1.1.0
- Bug fixes.
- Call Recorder - record incoming and outgoing calls in 5 different formats.
- Removed SMS Blacklist. Android no longer allows non default SMS apps to block messages, as default SMS apps are given the highest priority for receiving messages.
If you use Android 4.3 or lower, you can still block messages using this app. If you would like to have an apk of the previous version of the app which has the SMS blocker, send me an email at [email protected].
This is brilliant. No complains so far. Also, if I may make a suggestion, why don't you add an SMS blocker to the utility bundle?

Just downloaded. Does this replace answering an incoming call, or do I have to run the app every time I answer a call? I'm verifying because I tried it once and had to manually run the app after answering the call. Thanks for this.

I'm not sure what you're asking about, sorry. Is it about the note you're asking? If you've set a note for someone, it pops-up during the call. You can also message the note to the caller, or even edit it.
If you want the note to pop-up irrespective of it being set, select 'show empty notetags' from the settings menu.
If this isn't what you were asking about, please let me know.

No need to apologize. Thanks for the reply. So I have to assign a note to contacts for which I'd want a note? But what if its unpredictable,like I 'may' need a note only depending on the call, not necessarily dependent on the contact. Or from what you said,I should set 'show empty notetags' so a note will always appear, regardless of who is calling? Thanks.

Or from what you said,I should set 'show empty notetags' so a note will always appear, regardless of who is calling? Thanks.

Yes, if you'd like to add notes during calls for callers who do not have note set, make sure you have "show empty notetags" enabled in the settings menu. You can then take notes during the calls for the caller by clicking the pen icon within the note. If you don't have it enabled, the note will only popup for those callers for whom you've set notes.
I hope you're finding the app useful. Let me know if you'd like to see something made more convenient within the app.
OK,I've checked that setting so that a note is ready when id need it during a call. One final one not yet clear is, will a note automatically appear/popup after answering the call? BTW, is the app different from JIT notes? Thanks again.

Yes, it will automatically popup when you answer a call or even make a call.
I haven't checked out or heard of JIT notes. I'll make sure to do that.
Bought the Pro version. Really nice. Any updates on the development progress of the app?

Currently working on a widget. There are a few features planned that will be released in future updates.
If anyone using this has any complains, please leave a comment here. It'll be worked on if it's constructive.
Considering this is a Call Utility app, do you plan on adding a call recorder? Maybe one with a chathead that shows during calls?
