Go to the play store and download Groove IP, it work with Google voice, you can use your gmail and sign up for a phone # from Google..

Ok,thaks so far, but i guess tht is a Voip service. I'd like to use the insertet sim card...
AFAIK there's no way to use the Xoom as a phone this way you want, you can use to send messages, but not to do phone calls, but still you can try apps like tumpy mentioned .

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
i'm on sprint if that matters. how can i save my voicemail to my computer?
Have in-call recording enabled on your phone. Call your VM and start recording. When you're done you can find the .wav file in \MyDocuments\Notes. Sync it or even better just transfer file via USB cable.

Can you give me more info.. i am not sure if stock rom has in call recording..
Do you have stock rom or custom? I have seen a .cab flying around here somewhere if i find it ill post it for you
Your best beat is Google voice, they are saved on your phone and the servers. It's a .wav file so they are all saved on your phone. U can also log in to your Google voice account online to listen to them on your pc. Finally the best part is your question, u can also download the voicemail.

Good one.. I forgot about this... Thanks
My friends have the option to make calls with Google Voice...but I do not...even Sipdroid does not have the option to set it up with Google Voice like a lot of my friends have...the option is just missing entirely from the Sipdroid app
I have checked Voice settings, its certainly sync'd with my phone number, and I receive voicemails via Voice, but no option anywhere to make calls....
Wow no help at all? Lol

When u installed did u select the option to ask whether to use google voice automatically? Also don't move app to sd cuz I sent wasn't able to use widget. So either move to phone internal mem or uninstall and reinstall. Hth

I'm not sure about Google Voice, but SIPDroid works great with my company's SIP gateway. To call via SIP, as I remember, you need to either set SIPDroid as your preferred calling method, or suffix the number with a "+"
You might also want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548405 which came up from a Google search for "sipdroid" as the second listing, right after http://sipdroid.org/
I searched and I don't think this has been covered here yet

I used to use syncsms and while it was good it sometimes would just not work, and it utilized dropbox which I wasn't a fan of. This is awesome and uses google chat or email. All I did was create a new gmail just for this purpose and keep google talk logged into it on my tablet. Just wanted to share the wealth and all props goes to Koush who also developed RomManager, man that guy is awesome.
i love this app with the Chrome extension, but found that it was cluttering up my gchat contact list with people's phone numbers as contacts. To fix I set the app to only send emails and filter them in Gmail. I like the idea of setting up a separate email address to handle that issue.
I take it you have to side load on the TF? Market shows incompatible for TF but good for my N1
You install the app on your phone, then i use google talk to receive the messages on the transformer. The app just forwards the messages

Ah OK, got it thanks.
I use textab for this feature. Works very well.
I dont like using Bluetooth, and this way they don't need to be near eachother to work in case I forget my phone
TextTab does work well when I was using the beta, only thing I wish it did was enable upon boot. I always forget to enable it after phone or tablet boot up.
I use SynSMS except like mentioned it's not always reliable.
I like this DeskSMS so far. I can get rid of Mighty Text and SyncSMS and replace with one app.
Also with this as with SyncSMS, I can leave my phone home and on while out of the country and still get my SMS.
I use the google voice app on my transformer. It is the same as on my ATRIX. I can text and read and listen to voicemails.

I'm not quite sure how to use desksms....I downloaded it to my phone...then I put in my google account....had check boxed the gmail and google chat boxes....but nothing happens when I send an sms...I did the "test sms" from the app and it came to my phone....but that was it...nothing on the tablet...
what SMS client to I install to my tablet?
So the app can send sms, eh - that somehow worries me.
I just use google talk on my tablet to get the messages and you can respond through gtalk also

Nothing is install on the tablet, it forward your sms to Google Talk.
It work for me at first but now it does not forward amy sms to my google talk.
It does sync with my Chrome extension
mine still works, I also have the google talk desktop program and get it through there too
So if i use google voice there's no reason to use this right?
nope..not really
edit: as long as you sideload google voice onto the tablet

Yeah I have a seperate email address, but the thing is i have to log out of my main account to use desksms which seems annoying as everything google is the phone's email and i have nothing but email setup. how did you setup your filters?
Textab FTW

This uses bluetooth right?
I was looking for this online and couldn't find anything.
Basically I want to be able to make phone calls via Samsung Galaxy S 4G using an extension within Chrome.
i.e, I want to click on an extension (within Chrome), dial numbers on my computer keypad and have my phone call it.
And I want to be able to see my contact list AS WELL AS have the ability to dial numbers.
Is this possible???
Thanks!
Theres one for your body called your arm. It also has a hand that you can pick up your phone and dial/view contacts with.
For google chrome probably not.
Google Voice yes. Not sure if its exactly what ya want but it works.

Sounds like you'd benefit from using Google Voice
https://www.google.com/voice
Log into the google voice page, pick the contact you want to call and select call, it'll ask you which phone you'd like to connect with and you can use your sgs4g or even gtalk if you want to do it directly from your computer (you need a mic).

i tried that but it doesn't work.. if i click on the contact list, the only thing i can do is check the box associate with the contact.. nothing more..i then tried to sign up for google voice and I had to port my number to it. I tried the lite version but i'd rather have my voicemail goto my carrier (Tmobile) than to google..
Just kidding man ill look at google voice after class and see what i can find.
