I'm from belgium as too and i also use mobile vikings.
I updated the google voice app on my nexus s but when i need to activate google voice it says i need enable my account by visiting google.com/voice but when i do this it shows a page where i am informed that google voice is not yet available in my country. How did you work around this problem if i may ask?
I went to the site of google voice on my laptop and activated it there

That's kind of strange because when i visit www.google.com/voice on my laptop i get the message "Google Voice is not available in your country."
Did you use a US proxy?
i just went to the site and tried to log in and it worked. didnt do anything special.
same here. can log in and on mobile ' cannot verify my number'.
maybe something with mobile vikings? somebody tried this with mobistar/proximus?
Try with GrooVe IP - works for me.
nothing here on mobistar says cannot verify number after giving the pin on the app. I can go to voice.google.com and see a really basic voice site where i can top up account and call ppl but no voice number and stuff. If i use a proxy for voice.google.com then i can add a number and alot more but there it says international phone numbers aren't allowed.
Verification
Hey I'm with proximus and always gets the cannot verify code
wrong number in the device

I'm also a Viking stuck on the "cannot verify my number".
On the desktop side, everything works fine, I can call, and my correct phone number is used.
However, I noticed something strange in my android.
In the Settings / About device / Status: my phone number is wrong.
I got the same wrong number in "Network info II" app
Maybe the problem is linked to that.

I have the same setup. My phone number was wrong too. I corrected it and rebooted. But no luck, still stuck with the "your phone number could not be verified"

How are you guys achieving this? I have GV installed and signed in with my cell number. That's as far as I can figure it out. Please help! I'd love to be able to text from this tablet. Thanks in advance.

well crap, i think i replied in the wrong thread.. doohhh.. hahaha
anywho, go to your contacts, click on their pic you should see a slew of icons, one of which should be a google voice bubble (a bubble with a phone in it) click on it, and then pick which number you'd like to send a text to .. It may ask you which program you'd like to use, but i can't remember..
I can't speak for everyone else, but I had an update for GV in the market and after the update I went thru login process and SMS worked

Bummer. I don't see that icon on any of my contacts. Poop.
I'll try installing it again tonight. I'm going to flash Vegan B3... I think. Running TnT 2.2 now. Maybe it's an issue with that ROM.
Re-install for success
I was having no success with GV and then I went on the app market and install it from there and now I can send SMS messages from my Google Voice account. Running TnT-Lite 2.2.1
I posted this problem as well on the voice thread on general theme.
I installed .3 google voice. I got to the final set up screen where it wants to verify my phone number. When I hit next, it says "We have a problem, your phone number could not be verified. please try again"
When it asked for my user name and password, I put in the email address and pass word that is linked to google account that I set up google voice with (it is not a gmail account, but a yahoo email address) I can access it fine from google.com/voice by putting in those same credentials, but when i go through setup on the tablet and it comes to the part about verifying the phone number, I get the we have a problem screen
What can I do different?
Thanks

Just update Google voice from the market. The new one just works now without having to replace the old with 0.3 and all that.

I originally tried the one from market and it FC each time I tried to run it. I removed it with the remove applications removal tool in settings and installed this otherone. It loads, opens and allows me to put in my email address and password associated with my only google voice account, but it stops on the phone number verification process.
Thanks for your help
EDIT: Just tried again to install from market. This time when it gets to verify phone number, instead of the error popping up, it gives me a FC... the same as when I tried it before.
Try signing up for google voice on a pc or via the web first. Use any phone number that you have access to immediately to verify the number then simply install google voice from the market. It should just work. Skip the part about cell phone voicemail if asked.
Still no luck on my end. I un-installed the update (in settings), then wiped and un-installed via Titanium Backup, then rebooted. After boot I downloaded and installed from the market. Went through the setup process. Rebooted again. Still no option to SMS when I click on a contact picture. Ideas?

I've been using textPlus. Works pretty good!
Can you get to the google voice inbox? If so, press menu and select compose. start typing the name and then pick the persons name and cell and send txt that way. If you can't get the inbox then you have some other problem.
Do you have the google voice configured with a mobile number? Maybe that is it.

I'm in the inbox. In menu, all I see is Refresh, Labels, Balance, Search, Settings, and Help.
Also, it is build number: 0.4.2.13, if that matters.
And additionally, I just flashed Vegan b3, if that matters.
Hello it seems Google Voice is not compatible with the Bionic. Is there a manual work around? I remember reading a while back a way to do this with the thunderbolt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It says: unfortunately your carrier is not supported for automatic voicemail configuration. To use google voice as your voicemail provider, please visit the google voice help center more more information.
I got that error message too, but the voice mail does in fact work ok.
The problem I am having is that my google voice number is not showing as the calling number, even though it is set to be. I have tried changing the settings to ask each time, and it does not ask. It is still not working after rebooting too.

Just go to the google voice site on a computer and enter your phone number manually in the google voice settings on the website. It is a very self explanatory process once there. After that, go into your wireless network settings on your bionic and change the Voicemail settings from "my carrier" to "google voice." Not sure where this is on motoblur, but just look around and you should find it. If you get an error message or it freezes, do a reboot, go into the settings again and verify google voice is selected in the Voicemail settings. You should be okay after this.

Thanks for your help gotta it!
So caller id still shows my actual phone number and not my google voice number even when it is configured to do so. Any one else have this problem?
That error came at the point (for me) where it should automatically insert *71###-###-#### (*71 + your google number) in to the dialer to forward missed calls. So I did it manually and GVoice has worked fine for me. I did get one FC, but not sure if it was because of debloat or actual GVoice app. Other than that I have made calls, recieved Vmails and texts through GVoice just fine.

uninstall the app and try rerunning the setup, making sure you select use google voice for calls or ask when I make a call.

I cannot set Google voice as my voicemail provider.
When I try to set it it says "Failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings."
Does this have to do with ATT's new visual voicemail crap?
Any way to get around this?

When you get the "Do you still want to make the change" hit yes. It says it errors but it does. If you finish out the set up, then make a call from another phone and it ignore and leave a message you will see it goes to Google Voice.
I just confirmed and this is what my Vivid does.
Navigate www.google.com/voice, go to settings, make sure your phone is listed.
Click on activate google voicemail on this phone and it will give you the number to enter on your phone (e.g. *004*1800XXXXXX#)
After that, download the google voice app, install, open it up and follow the prompts to install.

I believe a valid workaround is to go to settings - call - call forwarding and set your "forward when unaswered" and "forward when unreachable" to your google voice number.

Thanks. that worked.
I had the same issue make sure your WIFI is on and then try it it should now work. Thanks
I had a similar issue, when I tried to change the "Voicemail Service" setting, it failed and gave me an error. But I just went in and manually changed the forwarding numbers to my Google Voice number and it worked just fine. So while the settings still say "My Carrier", it's actually using Google Voice.

Me too. I tried to "contact [my] carrier" as it suggested, but they are clueless. I wonder where the issue really is (carrier/framework/google).
EDIT: Wow, ancient thread. Sorry. Thanks for nothing Google results.
Does anyone know how to verify and use??
Voice & sms enabled
google voice does not recognize current device's phone number
Does the tab phone number show in the "about" setting? Your sim card may not be correctly provisioned.
You can download but google voice as a service only works in USA Canada as far as I know.

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get Google Voice to work on the S5? On every other phone that I've had, and it's been a lot in the last year, I always just install the app, run through configuration and it's fine. On the S5, I simply can't get it to work.
I only use Google Voice for my voicemails. I don't make or receive calls with my Google Voice number. Every time I run through the setup it gives me an error and then says if I want to change providers or something like that. If I hit yes, it fails. If I hit no, my Google Voice voicemail doesn't work.
Any ideas? I went to the Google Voice website and deleted my phone and added it again with no success. What is going wrong?
Thanks!

you probably need to re-forward VM to GV. My S5 kept giving me an error when I tired to do it via the app, so I manually forwarded to my GV# via..
*004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) then Press Call
PS: I'm not certain if you need to, but I set up my AT&T voicemail before I forwarded to GV,
I guess I got lucky -- I ran through the GV setup via the app and it worked perfectly the first time. I kept having issues when trying to set it up on my mothers S4...had to eventually reboot her phone and change it manually in settings. For my S5, it worked fine the first run through.
I also set up AT&T visual voicemail before GV. I did this just to double-check if my old voicemails were still there.
