How to go about finding an app, which can manage Google Voice, Calling Card & Main Number?
Whenever I make a call, I need:
All my contacts, to go through Google Voice
All unknown numbers to go though Main Cell Number
All international numbers to go through Calling Card
I also want default setting on Google Voice to be "Do not use to make any calls". This is required because without this, conference calls don't initiate properly.
Thanks,
Juwin

I have a samsung vibrant without a data plan. I use wi-fi for internet.
I want to use only my google voice number with the phone. I want my callerid to be my google voice number, always.
When I have wi-fi, I use the google voice app and my call is through google voice, the other side sees my google voice number. (Not entirely through wi-fi, I use my voice minutes).
Is there a way to make my callerid my google voice number when I am making a regular call (without data)?
Calling with Google Voice does not use your data plan, it uses your regular minutes. In Google Voice Settings under Making Calls you can set "Use Google Voice to make all calls." Now your caller ID will always show your Google Voice number. Sending SMS from Google Voice does use your data plan and should not count as an SMS through your carrier.
I am assigned to work on this imported MTK6516 PCBA. It is Android 2.2 with built-in dual SIM. To make outgoing telephone cellular telephone calls, the OS start dialog for user to select SIM1 or SIM2. These are unlock GSM mobiles.
My assignment is to make Google Voice to work.
I am able to install and receive incoming telephone calls.
However, I am unable to make outgoing Google Voice telephone calls.
The OS do not allow user the dialog of selecting Google Voice all or Cellular calls?
How do I make the fix to the OS to allow user to select Google Voice or Cellular calls?
Actually, in one of our old Samsung Galaxy Android 2.1 test units, there are additional selection dialog, such as asking user to select outgoing call by Skype, Google Voice, etc.
Thank you.
Is googlevoice installed? Search on the market. Then you can just click the app and dial when signed in

When I click the "Phone" - all this phone is allow user to select dial using
SIM1

Go into settings applications and click on dialer or phone (however the app is displayed on your device) and then clear defaults?

I am unable to make Google Voice out going telephone calls.
This Android OS was modified to make dual SIM operate & SIM standby mode.
Is there any where I can seek advice & help in the "dialer" inside the Android OS?
Thank you.
Hi there, everyone! I'm a long time reader but never really get to post anything. Before I start, I hope this is the right forum and did some searching around my question and haven't found a solution - both on XDA and just searching Google itself.
I rely on Google Voice for all my voice and text needs and have multiple phones. I used and kept an old Google Voice official APK (something like 0.26 I believe) which allowed all my outgoing calls to route through the same outbound number. This number was some random phone number that wasn't my Google Voice number but required a little bit of data prior to connecting the call to tell Google "Hey, I'm about to make an outgoing call, this is the number I'm making it to" to route the call correctly. The newer versions of the Google Voice app use a different "shadow" number for each contact so no data is required. This old option was extremely important to me because I have a limited voice plan and took advantage of my carrier's unlimited calling to your favourite number option to make my calls free. That specific version of the Google Voice app doesn't work with ICS or Jellybean and I no longer have a Gingerbread phone.
Is there a third-party app that would help me dial a phone number or tap on "call" within a contact and have it route through that same Google Voice "shadow" number every time? If not, would someone consider writing up one for a bounty?
There's actually a Windows Phone 7 app called GoVoice that actually lets users choose which option they prefer. To dial all outgoing calls with the same number, small amount of data required; to assign a different shadow number to each call, no data required; or to have Google Voice phone your mobile back directly, perfect for those on legacy Free Incoming Call plans.
Your help and suggestions would be much appreciated!
Best,
Manny
Does anyone know of a good way to have your Google phone number show in caller ID by default?
Without porting your google number to your phone carrier...
I know if I go through the google voice app and call from there it will show my Google phone number in caller ID, but it's kind of clumsy. I have to have the number saved as a contact first, there's no number pad to just make a call, etc.
Thanks

In google voice, go to settings, and change "Making calls" setting.to always use google voice to make calls
Any call you make from now on will show your google voice number. (You can also put the google voice widget on your home screen to toggle between the various settings for GV (always use your phone#, always use GV#, always ask, use only for international calls)

Exactly what this guys said, you can have it ask every time you make a phone call to choose what number to call fom, or you can set it to which ever you want to use. Its in the 1st setup of google voice after installing. or in the GV settings..
Thanks, I got it.
In addition to above, it seems like it you have to use the area code(even for local calls) when dialing out for it to work.
Just something to note for anyone searching for a solution.
So I've been using Google voice as my main number. This allows me to switch SIM cards and keep my number, which is useful since I travel back and forth a lot. I can always just dial a number and it calls (Intl or not) and when I'm outside the US I can be contacted at my regular number. All I have to do is install the Google Voice app to route calls and use Hangouts for SMS (or calls if using Chrome on a desktop).
That said, I think I found a problem with Google Now integration. Calls are not a problem: "OK Google call John" works fine, it dials John's number via Google Voice. Texting however defaults to sending via the SIMs number, even if I select "always reply via Google Voice" in the Hangouts app. Since I don't ever really use the SIMs number, this has resulted in quite a few people texting me back "who is this?" after I text them using Google Now.
I know a solution is to just not use Google Now to text, but it's quite useful with a handsfree while driving and such.
