I was wondering the same thing. I guess I'll try with my EVO's number

Working great for me!! What I noticed though...is my buddy installed tango on his iTouch. I had to make sure the email he registered with was in my contact list. Than Tango automatically showed me he was available for a call. 3g was great!

My xoom has a phone number so maybe i can try that one.

I was able to connect but the person on the other end was upside down....any fix?
Edit: nevermind, the issue was on the other persons end.

Google voice + Sprint questions

Got the invite but have a few questions before I fire away. I set up a google voice # because I was moving across the country and wanted a local# so prospective employers would think I was already local. I have since moved and have my phone set to make all calls from that#. I don't need my sprint# anymore but don't want to give it up for no good reason. What are the benefits to turning the service on? I already use it for all calls and voicemail.what does this service offer that I can't do without it? Thanks.

Some thoughts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050442.

According to that there seems to be no real benefit for me at all. Honestly I am wondering what the real point of this is. Sprint said we would be able to receive calls on our computers, how does that work? If just from gmail that is how it is now and it sucks.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App

The benefit is that sprint will no longer have to support vvm. This isn't really the game changer you would think.
~maybe I set it too high...

Someone that is using it should use the feedback form to request a program to make and receive calls on the computer separate from gmail. That is the only feature of this I would want. Not willing to sign up without it.

[Q] Verizon default voicemail

Hi? Does anyone knows how to edit the default verizon voicemail number? I noticed that even if a dial *86 the display number is different. Is there a way to edit it? In my contacts appear like voicemail but it doesn't give me the options to edit.
Appreciate any help.

If you go into ##program, I remember seeing the number for voicemail section. You should be able to override there.

Tanx! I'm not an advanced user so if you could detail me how to do that I would appreciate.

Have you had any issues with it? I was using it (moderately) then one of my friends claimed it completely messed up his iPhone (on AT&T). Eventually calling him would forward the call to some woman, lol.

...hes an iphone user...not exactly the most technically inclined im assuming?

as long as you allow GV to do the work, it's nearly impossible to screw up. GV will pull in your GV phone number and perform the VM forwarding command for you. You shouldn't even have to worry if your GV phone number matches what was assigned to you, everything is automatic.

Na. He's actually a real big nerd. But I do believe he messed up and wouldn't take blame, lol.

As long as you take the 10 minutes to set it up, it works great!

I have used it moderately as I said. I just never used it I guess like some others seem to. I just used it so clients I was doing work for could txt me a bunch n not actually blow up my phone. Id stop forwarding and just use the google voice site.

Dial *72 and your home number. To turn it off dial *73.

It's built into your Verizon plan. Something like *72.
Edit: wow I'm too slow

Does that code money or does it just use my minutes or is it minutes plus something
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Already included unless you have some weird plan. It will use your minutes as if you were on the cell phone. So nights & weekends + mobile 2 mobile + family & friends should be freeeeeee.
I think I saw an app that handles this for you... but my style has just been to add a contact called ForwardtoHome and set the phone number as the entire string. I also have one called UnforwardtoHome.
Another option that's pretty awesome is Google Voice. Check it out if you don't already know.

I have Google voice but there is not a feature that I know of that forwards to another window

so it look as thought i just added my home phone google voice but the only problem is that when people call my actually cell number that doesn't really get forwarded at all..

Yeah you need to tell everyone you got a new number and distribute your Google Voice number. I did it a year ago and it's awesome! If you set it up properly you can put your google voice number as friends & family and have free calls through google voice.

Cool man yeah I have had one for about year but too many people to distribute to bit the thing I am noticing is that my home phone only ring twice before it goes to voicemail anyway to fix this? ?

There's no setting in GV for this. Maybe your answering machine is picking up? Dunno, that's weird, I don't have that issue.

T-mobiles WiFi calling alternatives for the Nexus 4

OK guys, we already have a thread that is a work in progress trying to port TMOBILES WiFi calling to our device. Now I would like to see what other people have done to compensate for not having the T-Mobile app. What are the best 3rd party apps that work good for you and can you both make and receive calls using them?
Feel free to post any alternative to the T-mobile wifi calling app that has worked for you.

I've tried a combination of Google voice and the paid version of groove ip and the call quality was horrible. The person I called could barley understand me. This is very frustrating.

A dirty workaround is using google talk video chat and choosing handset speaker. It sucks, doesn't use the actual phone number, but does function if you're desperate.

Just tried talkatone, it worked but there is like a three second delay when talking.. It's weird. Call quality ok. How do I get good quality Internet calls?

Which one did you get? I'm in a similar boat trying to find a cheap phone just for use when I'm at home.

Look for 2 threads started by acegolfer, these will help you the most. One is called free voip calling w/iLBC codec and the other is something along the lines of Piaf with amazon ec2 or ew2. Not necessarily these easiest ways but from what I can tell they are probably some of the best. The first thread I mentioned also has a comparison of the most popular ways. Hope this helps some.
edit: there is also the Vonage app that has ok quality but you can only make calls and not receive them.

The Obi app in the google store, and then google voice.
Free incoming and outgoing wifi calls.
All you need is your username and password. Then just log on and your all set.
NOTHING TO CONFIGURE.

It's made to totally emulate Wi-Fi calling

I got an HTC T-Mobile G2 out of pure need of wifi calling. Screen was cracked got it off ebay for like $25. There was just no way I could go on like this.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking on eBay but I don't want to pay $80-$100 for something like this. Looks like I can pick up a G2 cheap.

I use callcentric with the stock dialers internet calling

I'm trying that now...but the call quality doesn't seem as good as with csip
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Vonage. Can't get incoming calls unless you subscribe, but free wifi/3g calling is awesome. The codec they use is HD (speex I believe) and is the best ever.
If someone calls you, just call them right back on the Vonage app. It's the best. Avoid talkatone/grooveip and the other "VOIP" apps. They are echo/delay city.
Vonage is free. Doesn't require you to be a Vonage subscriber. Just install it, use voice/text confirmation of your number, enroll and you're done.
