I used to use voice choice to do this, but it is now gone from the play store. (worked great)
I have my phone set to use my google voice number for all calls.
Is it possible to have tasker cancel the google voice call and use my true number if a call exists in certain groups/ contact labels? ie. call with GV number, if contact is labeled family, then call with sim #?
You check apkmirror?

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.
can anyone tell me what exactly is google voice

so you need a phone which has web in it?
No, not necessarily. You can receive calls with your Google Voice number on any phone at all.
To dial out with your Google Voice number on the go, the easiest way is with a data connection on your cell phone. Any phone can use the Google Voice mobile website, but it works best if you can get an app for your phone to dial directly. The Android app is great. There's a Blackberry app for it, and the iPhone version was blocked from the Apple app store.
But dig this--- with just a texting plan you can still dial out from your cell phone, using your Google Voice number. If you set your Google Voice number to forward texts to your mobile, here's how it works ....
You give your new Google Voice number to your friend John. Let's just say that John isn't in your Google contacts yet ... and John's number is (123) 456-7890. When he texts you, the text you receive on your phone comes from a (406) number, that always corresponds to that person.
The first text you get will look something like this.
From: +1-406-486-6339
Message: +1-123-456-7890 - hey man, it's John
Text your reply to that (406) number, and it will go to his phone, and show your Google Voice number. And here's a nice bonus--- dial that (406) number, and it will call him, showing your Google Voice number.
Once you add John to your Google contacts, your texts will look like this:
From: +1-406-486-6339
Message: John - so should i save this as your new number?
You can save the (406) number in your phone contacts to quickly text/call someone with GV.

I'm trying to get the Settings>>Internet Call Settings feature set up, but not sure how to do it correctly. I've registered with pbxes.org and the phone registers with it just fine, but won't call in/out using 2g/3g/wifi. Do I need to register with a voip service also? Any free ones? Any help/guide is appreciated!
I have mine set to use the "only for internet calls" option.
then under the accounts menu i checked the "receive incoming calls" box
then in my google voice i have my voip number that gizmo gave me(similar to your pbxes number)
then use the callback function in the google voice website or use the GV Callback app
edit: pbxes is your "voip service", they should have given you a number which you used in setting the options. i think the free pbxes accounts only allows incoming calls, which is perfect if you use google voice. I was lucky enough to register with gizmo5 before google snatched them up and closed the free accounts
edit: i LOVE how its integrated with the dialer now, was a little sick of using sipdroid. sipdroid was great as a concept but i wanted something integrated in the dialer and not ugly brown

I have "receive incoming calls" box checked and the server is pbxes.org. I didn't receive a phone number from pbxes though. I don't have anything in the Outbound Proxy option though and I can't make any outbound calls either. As I don't use GV for anything other than as the default voicemail app instead of my carrier. Not sure where to go from here.
PS I agree on the Sipdroid thing...fugly as hell.
what did you put in as the username in the account settings on the phone for pbxes?
mine is my gizmo number(which is the voip number i can receive calls on)
ill see if i can log in to my pbxes account, i gave up on that since they were so convoluted setting up an account.
looks like i was wrong, pbxes doesnt provide a number. I would invest the 5-10 bucks on ebay and buy a gizmo number, it works great; or find some other voip/sip provider that gives you a number, looks like ipkall or some other places give you one.
i primarily use it while at home where i have a bad cell signal
You just need to set the outbound proxy to the server
and use UDP not TCP on VZW it seems
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.
I have an app that writes all my phone calls to my calendar - incoming, outgoing and missed calls all write to my Google Calendar with the number called and the duration of the call. If it's a number in my contacts, it will add that in addition to the number.
But I haven't found a way to get Google Voice calls to do it. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me how I can make, receive, & miss calls write to my calendar using Tasker. I use Voice for calls from and to my patients and that allows me to give them a dedicated number they can call anytime and I can use, if necessary (say for that 3:00 am non-emergency call about something they just "have to tell" me), to screen them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
