I am looking for an app so I can dial a phone number on my desktop and just pick up the call on my galaxy s... Is this possible?
I am currently running android 2.2 on the galaxy s and windows 7 on my pc
Thanks in Advance
Google Voice does this. You will need to sign up for an account here, download and setup the app, and download an the Google Voice extention for whatever browser you like best. Chrome works well for me.
Google Voice is not available in my country.

ok am i missing something here. i need google voice for work purposes and i downloaded idialer and relized it does not work with windows 6.5 it says because of the internet explorer does not support it. i went to download gvdailer and they are not allowing downloads anymore cant even buy it. and google voice doesnt have an app for wm. so my question is, what do i have to do to get google voice on my phone so i can dial out from my gv number? Thank you in advance
Has anyone though about trying to find a way to enable the Gmail Google Voice addon used with computer browsers for the Android or WinMo OS ?
Would the Android browser or Fennec work ?
Is anyone working on it ?
Guys,
Is it supposed to be possible to start a video chat with Google talk from the Transformer when the guys at the other hand does not have gingerbread 2.3.4, e.g. towards a HTC desire?
I don't see the option. All my contacts on Talk are either desktop (and I don't see the option either) or android pre-2.3.4
Cheers

You can only start the kind of chat inidcated by their icon. If they are on desktop have them connect to Google talk in gmail instead of the client. For some reason Google enabled it in there first.
Unfortunately pre 2.3.4 devices didn't get an updated talk that supports it.
If you have a Google voice number like me, you are probably sad that all the third party apps that enabled VoIP using Google voice on android have stopped working. Like grooveip and talkatone.
Well here is a good news.. You can use VoIP calls from your android device. You need to do two things
1) Enable hangouts instead on talk in gmail
2) Download opera browser (any browser that can fake a desktop UA might work. I use opera)
Now, change the user agent to desktop in opera browser and call using hangouts in gmail like you usually do on a PC and it works!!!
If you already knew this, good for you. I didn't and I just found out so I am sharing an option till Google releases full hangouts Google voice integration.
Enjoy!

Does this only work in Opera browser or other browsers as well?
I have been looking for alternate routes for Voip...

Thanks. I am especially bitter about this issue as I reside abroad and came to depend on Google voice.
I hope they rather, and soon, integrate features into hangouts for it. The fact they haven't is annoying.

EDIT: if you are logged in and opera is running in the background, you can even receive calls to your Google voice number!!!

Trying this now. Amazing if this works.
Thanks, this works with Opera on my tablet. It doesn't work in Chrome, even with the "request desktop site" option checked. But I expected that, since I tried it a while ago. Not sure if Firefox would work, but I'll use Opera for this. Navigating the hangouts interface is clumsy to say the least, but it's nice to have the option.
Thanks for the tip, but as expected, Google has totally hosed the Voice app. You can no longer make calls over Wifi on android so its totally useless for that. The other functions of the app are clunky and difficult. Way to flush a good idea Google.

facebook messanger has voip.
does this still work?
i used to use it like two weeks ago on a Nexus 7 (2012), with Opera.
But then I broke my tablet and got a new Nexus 7 (2013).
Now it's asking me to download the hangouts plugin.
I gave up on phone and using Google Voice voip as my number.
This is really frustrating when I'm not in front of my PC.
MO + app still works from play store
