I recently switched to AOSP GBMod and have noticed something odd. When I'm using Google Voice and I select to call someone who has left a message who is not a contact of mine the call states "call lost" and doesn't go through. I believe that it's from the +1 added prior to the number that is causing this, because when I put the number in without the +1 the call goes through. Any ideas why this is? The same happens when I Google Voice Search a number a +1 is added to the number and the call doesn't go through, i.e. the number shows up as +1-920-933-5944. When I put 920-933-5944 the call goes through. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone have a shortcut for enabling call forwarding? I always forward to the same number. I would like to be able to use a button or voice command to bring up the call forwarding screen, and then just click yes/OK to enable or disable it. Anyone else using this?
By the way. I have been using ATT's fast forward service for a couple of years. Do I need to continue paying for this, or will the phone redirect the calls?
Thanks,
Tom
Bump. I'd really love to find how to do this also, I'm doing it several times a day ...
On my 8925 phone I created two contacts.
Turn Forwarding On:
_OnForward
*21*5125551212#
(replace 5125551212 with the areacode and phone number you want to forward your calls to)
Turn Forwarding Off:
_OffForward:
##21#
The _ puts the two items at the top of my contacts list. I click contacts and then press call on the selected forwarding option. Sometimes I get an error message "command not supported", but that is related to my phone's connection strength and not the programming. This has been working well for me for about a year. I have tried to make a couple of buttons that dial the contacts directly from another screen, but that hasn't worked. You have to open contacts and the press call on the option you want.
Later-
Good morning gents.
I have an HTC TyTN II with Win Mobile 6.1
I created the contacts like that and on my "Favorite People" page I put the contact there, it just says :
"Cannot Complete the call. the Signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. Verify the number or try again later."
From the contact list it works of course.
Another question regarding call forwarding. Is there a way to have an icon on the top bar that says the call ARE being forwarded... I keep missing a couple of calls that end on my home answering machine because I forgot to forward
Vesperatus-
I have all of your same issues. As far as I know, there aren't any solutions. You just have to remember to unforward your phone.....

I have Google Voice on my G1, and I'm wondering if there is a way to use a different ringtone for incoming calls on my Google Voice number than from my regular phone number. I've looked around the options but can't find anything as of yet.
Am I missing something and the option is sitting there right in front of my face, or is it just not implemented yet to be able to change the ringtone?

Add your Google Voice number as a contact (I starred mine).
Then assign that contact a different ring tone.
done!

It still didn't work for me :/
The Google Voice number does not call my phone, it simply forwards the calls to my number when people call my GV number. So, say I call my GV number with my house phone, my G1 would display the incoming number as my house number and not change the ringtone to the GV one.

What you need to go is go to settings on GV and change "Caller Id" to display my gv number. That way you get free calls i mean your gv will be calling you. But make sure to put on call screening.

Thank you, that worked. Guess it was a GV issue and not a G1 issue, my bad.
Do you know who is calling you then when someone calls your gvoice number?
You would only know who is calling if you setup GV call screening, so the caller has to announce their name, and you press '1' to accept the call.
With GV passing through the original CID, I don't believe there is any way to set a different ringtone, as your phone isn't going to know the difference. If you use the third party GrooveIP, to send the GV call over IP instead of voice, there may be some other options.

How exactly do I get to the settings of GV to change the Caller ID? I cannot figure out where that setting is. Google again has a great service, but very poor direction or obscure directions on how to implement features. Please help me. Thank you very much.

I had something similar happen to me, and it turned out that somehow, the number that was trying to call me was in the blacklist, which isn't visible from the dialer.
From the home screen, go into settings, call settings, and blacklist is at the bottom of the list.
Ok, I have sipdroid installed and it's working for outgoing calls. I have it linked to my GV account. Here is something strange though. I received a call on my Streak 7. But how? I mean what # did they dial? If you dial my GV # it rings on my cell phone so I'm trying to figure out how this call got routed to my streak 7 and what # they called to reach it.
How do you receive calls with sipdroid? What # does the person dial?
If you have the Streak number synced with your GV then when they dial that number (GV) then it will ring on any phone/device that is linked to it.

That's the thing.. My streak doesnt have a number. I'm not using a dataplan. Only wifi. My Google Voice account is actually linked to my cell phone # which is a mytouch 4g. When you call my gv # it doesn't ring on my streak, it rings on my mytouch4g. So I'm not really sure how I got this call

Ask the caller?
By calling your PBXES.org extension they can reach you too.

I remeber it is [email protected] ... which is odd, and I never tried if I can reach myself by "calling" that thing..
On your gv account you need to have it forward to your gtalk acct...
Guide
I keep seeing people saying they've set up their Streak 7 to make calls, (both incoming and outgoing) whether it be with Sipdroid or CSIPsimple. Thats great and all, but could somebody PLEASE help me out with a GUIDE that will EXPLAIN or SHOW how to do all of this. I think that's whats so frustrating for people. How do you do it??
follow the instructions on this link it will help you a lot. Fortunately I signed up to gizmo5 when the service was available. If you have any questions fell free to pm me.

go to your google voice settings, its in there, you have your GV forwarding to your cell.
I installed "Dialer One," "Google Voice," and "Sipdroid."
Dialer one is the default dialer which has the ability to add a shortcut to the homescreen....
Google voice is the number that I call from. Sometimes you see the "calling" GV feature thing crash, then Sipdroid takes over and makes the call...
I've run in circles with this thing as well. The reason I am telling you this is because I uninstalled all of the other apps and dialers, etc..
I DO have Google talk installed as well, but not sure if that affects anything. Sorry couldn't be more help right now.. It's a confusing cycle. Lol. Good luck.
(((( Outgoing calls show up as coming from my GV # )))
(((( Incoming calls only occur when someone calls my cell and they're forwarded to my tablet--- SOMEHOW-- WITHOUT forwarding setup. )))))

Did you figure a way to do this. I'm going in circles trying to tie together several how-to's I'm still not getting it to work.

Hmmm... Let me see if I can help here.
1. You need to have a google voice account.
1.1 you google voice account setting: main forwarding: gchat has to be selected
1.2 do not choose call screening option (at least initially to get things work)
2. install Sipdroid on your device
2.1 click the "link with your google voice option on main page of sipdroid right after you installed it"
2.2 in Sipdroid setup, you will need to create an account with some provider like mine is pbxes.org
3. Have an account with pbxes.org (or maybe other service provider. but mine is with pbxes.org)
3.1 under extension: you should already have an sipdroid <200> (the extension number may be different , but this number MUST be the number in your sipdroid settings account field as "[email protected]" where 200 is the extension number
3.2 under inbound routing, you need to have a default routing which is "/"
click "/", you will see "sipdroid <200>" appear in various section, mainly "regular hours", "after hours", but there is one click which is "force regular hours", can help you simplify the setup initially to get things "work"
3.3 under outbound routing, you should see a "0 gtalk" routing trunk.
within the section, route name: gtalk
trunk sequence: 0 "GTALK/[email protected]"
4. In your sipdroid setting on your device, double check the username: [email protected]
password, your pbxes.org password.
Hope it can help in some way. Post your questions here and I will try to answer.
Cheers,
Thanks, got it now thanks to your excellent write-up. The order in which you do the above steps is of utmost importance.

did you really have to post this issue in every one of the of threads on sipdroid? I think once in your [Q] making calls over 4g is sufficient
Moto X, Andriod 5.1, pure stock, bought in Germany, used in Russia.
I've got a constant problem with caller's ID showing up as "unknown" in the dialer history.
This behaviour is sporadic. I could not trace back any reason why a caller from my contact list would appear as "unknown" in the call log.
Sometimes when i get an incoming call from an unknown number it dos get listed explicitly in the incoming call history and i can call back (the number itself gets registered in the incoming call log) but half of the time i get an unanswered call as "unknown", so i can't even define who's been calling me.
The same applies to in/out calls from/to my contact list. I get "unknown" numbers in the log that i can not redial or keep the history of.
I tried an alternative dialer (Dialer One from Google Play which i had as a default in my previous Motorola Defy+) with no success.
Most of my contacts are saved in Cyrillic but i never had any problems with my Motorola Defy + which was also bought in Germany.
And the error seems to be random anyway. Sometimes i get the contact or the phone number listed in the log, but most of the time i get "unknown" source.
Any clues or suggestions on solving this problems? Thanks in advance!
I'm a newbie here so i can not post any screenshots, sorry for the pure text.
