I am trying to set up speed dial position 1 for voicemail but each time i try to assign the vodafone '121' voicemail number to it I get a message saying it is reserved. When I try to us speed dial 1 it says teh voicemail number is incorrect. How do I change the number assigned to speed dial 1.
I'm not for certain off the top of my head since I don't have a smartphone right now, but I believe if you go into Settings/Phone there's an option for Services. Select Voice/Text Messages and Get Settings. In there you should be able to change the voice mail number to the correct one.
Hello,
Try: start/settings/phone/call options/ and fill in the voice mail number.
Good luck

I use att and my speed dial 1 used to dial my voicemail, now it does not and I cannot seem to program it under the speedial menu, I can only program numbers greater than 2. Anyone have any ideas?
in dial pad, press 1 and hold it until it dials out.
I think he's saying that doesn't work now... how can he fix it.
go into settings - phone - voice mail and text messaging - get settings, then make sure you have the voicemail number set as this is associated with speed dial 1...

exactly, i was just going to answer that, but you beat me to it.
whatever number you enter in that setting will be set to number 1 speed dial. you may need to check with your carrier to get the correct number.
its already set in there, thats the funny thing, the voicedial number is in there but when I hold down 1 nothing happens!
Hi,
it seems, I am not able to edit the speed-dial #1. On #1 I have "VOICEMAIL 121" .. but this is of course not the reight number. When trying to edit I will forwarded to the security setting of the phone !?
Any ideas ?

so you are saying you have went into the dialer, speed dial where it shows all your numbers stored in speed dial and tried to change it but wont let you? correct?
Or from the dialer screen Menu -> Options -> Click the Services tab in the Services tab choose Voice Mail and Text Messages the select Get Settings... buttons and you can change the voice mail number there.

Hello,
I've loosely based this app off of supbro's app for the 6.5 Windows system (iContact, iDialer). I didn't use his code but I did want this program to perform the function that I mainly wanted: The ability to pick and choose which Google Voice account I wanted to use to dial a number with.
If you're interested in checking this out, I've attached the xap for it. Thanks.
May 02, 2011 - 7:40pm CST - Updated the application to include a restore settings button and other changes to enable fields incorrectly disabled.
I've been waiting for something like this. I'll install it when I get home and post my thoughts later tonight.
I couldn't figure out how to use this. Is it utilizing the calling card method of dialing or something? It wouldn't let me select my GV number on the GV Info pivot.
I was thinking it would be an easy way to get to a dialer that would utilize GV direct dial but I don't think this is really what I was looking for.
thesecondsfade,
Yes, it utilizes the calling card method of dialing the number through your google voice account so that the google voice number shows up on the other person's callerid.
I didn't implement a select from the contacts list of the Google voice number on the GV Info pivot screen. Rather, you have to type in the number using the numeric pad and input the pin that Google Voice prompts you for when you access your account. After you've placed both the Google voice number and the pin, then you can select the radio button for that account.
As far as I know, GV direct dial only works with the accounts that you can specify the phone number with. Currently, you can only use a phone number with two different accounts. The calling card method is the only one that I know of to use one cell phone number with three or more different accounts.
Hi Please follow the instructions to the word. If this topic has been covered before, I apologize and I will delete it, if you let me know.
What you need.
1) HD2 running Gingerbread 2.3
2) Google Voice Account which is running on your phone. You have to be logged on.
Steps :
1) Download sipdroid from market
2) open sipdroid and you will see at the bottom, link to pbxes (not the exact words but you get the picture). Tap that
It Opens a box which already has your Google account in it.
3) Enter you google password (yes google password..no way around it)
4) follow the steps. Your ipbex account will be created and Gv trunk will be added. (You will not see any of this but this is a background process)
5) After a few minutes it is back on the home screen of sipdroid and you will see a green dot on the task bar.
Now is the important part :
6) Hit menu on sipdroid.
7) Once the menu screen is up , hit menu again and hit export.
8) Close sip droid.
9) Open file explorer and goto sipdroid folder on Sd card
10) Copy the file to your computer/ email it or whatever you like.
11) Open the the file with notepad
12)Look for user name and password and note it down. password is case sensitive.
13) domain is pbxes.org
14) Almost done. Got to your android settings and go into call settings.
15) Add new account for internet calls. put in the login and password and server.
16) Additional settings..change port to 5061
17) hit back button. and the account will be authenticated. check the receive calls box. Hit back button.
18) Use the options based on your choice. For me it is ask everytime I make a call so it pops up if I want to make call via internet or cellular network. Use your own preference. I dont have data plan and only wifi.. your situation might be different.
19) In google voice settings, turn off use for calls
20) Start calling and all outgoing calling will go over your internet connection if you so choose and using your GV number.
21. Uninstall sipdroid
is it 2.3 only or 2.3.x?
any gingerbread version should be ok. SIP calling is integrated into the OS
ok next question sorry for sounding like a pain in the as but does it work for international calls?
GV gives you credit for international calls ie calls that originate in the US and terminate in a different country. Now if you have a US GV number, yes GV will charge for international but US to US is free. However if you are visiting a foreign country and want to call back home to the US then it is free as you already have a US GV number.
I have to clarify this. If the GV setting on your phone is set to use for calls, the calls will be handed over to your cellular network..word of caution
oo ok thanks, i appreciate the clarity
Does this only work in the US or can we use it in other country's?
I am not sure if Google voice gives you non US numbers. That is something you need to check in your home country
This is pretty cool, thanks.
Outgoing calls work great but is this supposed to work for incoming as well?
If so, how is it configured?
I have my GV number forwarding to Google Chat but I just get a voice attendant that tells me "The person at extension 200 is on the phone".
Yes it should work for incoming as well as long as the caller calls you on the GV number and the Internet calls settings on your are set to receive incoming calls. It would be helpful if some folks on here reported on the call quality
I have checked the receive calls box and I am calling my GV number and my GV number is set to forward to Google Chat but I just get the message saying I'm on the phone.
It's probably related to GrooVeIP which I sometimes use. I've had some problems like this before where GrooVeIP sort of grabs onto the Google Chat forward and won't let go, even if it isn't running or is uninstalled.
Disclaimer: This may not be the right section for this thread but I didn't know where else to put it. And since I verified this setup on a Nexus 5, I figured this is the best bet.
I stayed in the US for a few years and have an active Google Voice number that my friends in the US call to contact me. Thus, I needed a free method to forward those calls to Canada.
Yes, There are a few of 3rd party apps like GrooveIP that not only let you receive calls but also make calls over data. However, I don't like 3rd party app notifications in my status bar constantly and needed a free solution that would work.
My solution however, only uses the default phone dialer app to receive forwarded calls over SIP.
Step 1
Get yourself a Google Voice number. There are many guides on the internet on how to achieve this via the use of proxies/vpn services.
Step 2
Create a free Sip2Sip account here: https://mdns.sipthor.net/register_sip_account.phtml
Once you receive the confirmation email, Login and go to the ‘Settings’ panel.
Uncheck Reject Anonymous, change the no answer timeout to 60 seconds and uncheck Voicemail Enable. Then click Save at the bottom.
Then click on the ‘Identity’ panel and leave that page open.
Step 3
Open a new browser tab and signup for an IPKall account here: http://phone.ipkall.com/
All the information to be filled out will be available on the ‘Identity’ panel on sip2sip.
Where it says SIP URI Username, enter your username from the account you created on Sip2Sip.
Enter sip2sip.info in the Domain field.
Choose any password and complete the signup.
Wait for IPKall to email you your new number and account info.
Step 4
Go to Google Voice Settings and click to Add a new number.
Choose a name for this number, I named it ‘Ipkall’ to make it easier to recognize. And type in the phone number that Ipkall emailed you. then click save.
More than likely, the IPKall number assigned to you may have already been used earlier by another Google Voice user. It’ll ask you to reclaim that number by verifying it. That’s okay, we’ll get to that in a bit.
Step 5
On your android device, open the Phone dialer and go to settings. Then open ‘Call Settings’.
Scroll all the way down to Internet Call Settings and click on Accounts. Make sure that there is a check mark next to Receive incoming calls. Then click on Add account on the bottom.
Enter your sip2sip username and password in the respective fields. In the server field, enter sip2sip.info. Then uncheck set as primary account and click on Optional Settings. Under outbound proxy address, enter proxy.sipthor.net
Then click save and wait for it to register. Once done it should say Receiving Call under “[email protected]”.
That’s it, go back to Google Voice settings and reclaim the IPkall number assigned to you. If you didn’t have this issue then you are already set to go.
Place a few test calls to your Google Voice Number and check to see if they’re being forwarded to your Phone over SIP.
BONUS: You can also use this setup to get Google Voice to connect you to US phone numbers for free. Visit the Google Voice website, enter the phone number you'd like to call and choose your ipkall number as the phone to connect with. OR you could get a Google Voice call back app to do this on your phone.
So doing this I can call and receive calls anywhere free of charge and not using any data?

As long as you are on wifi, there's no charge and no use of your data.
When you're not on wifi, this method will use data but not your minutes.

No good for Cuba.
For Canadian users want to use mobile air time minutes instead of data, I would recommend Voxox instead. Voxox will let you have an telephone number in southern California, United States for free which can forward incoming calls via PSTN to any telephone number in Canada or United States for free. You do not even have to install their app. It is a lot simpler to setup, but again, it use your mobile voice minutes instead of data.
Interesting I may give this a shot thanks!
