[Q] Google Voice

---

Is there an application the integrates google voice as it does in Android

There's two Google Voice apps on the marketplace that I've seen - GoVoce (£2.49) and GV Companion (£Free)

Yeah i saw the same as well and will try them out to see whats up with them

I found the GoVoice to be a better app and bought it.

Since you already have the paid version. How well is it integrated ? looks like you still need to go in the app to make outgoing calls via google voice. does it share the contacts from the phone or do you have the transfer your contact book to google voice online ?

Go voice is very nice. But I don't think o can use it as phone Vmail.

Bottom line, you're not going to get google voice integration like it is in Android.

That said, GoVoice is a solid application.

It can access your phone's contact list and from the dialer part of the application and you can choose to text or call the person you selected from your contacts list.

You can also carry on threaded text conversations from your google voice inbox via GoVoice.

The only downside is that you don't get notifications from the App when you get a new SMS or voicemail. You can work around those limitations using google voice settings, though..

i.e. you can have it forward your SMS messages to your actual nuimber and you can reply to texts from the native SMS app and have it come from your google voice number to the recipient and you can have Google sms you or e-mail you when you get a voicemail from somebody.

It's not ideal.. but if you want ideal as far as Google Voice support, Android is the only real answer. Perhaps later the developer will be able to set information for live tiles so you can keep track that way.

Thanks for the detailed answer looking forward to seeing next version from the developers

GoVoice is slow and laggy. No push notification as mentioned. can't make calls out still. I have sent the developer an email stating such. There is a way that he sets up a certain number to use to not be charged the international calls. Not a good work around. I did pay for it.

I hope that Google Voice makes it way to the Marketplace. I use it to dial out to China, El Salvador and Vietnam. Comes in really handy.

GV companion is not in the marketplace. He is currently working on it. I think that will be a better app.

Really we can not make any outgoing calls using this APP then it is useless.
