I am a US citizen that just recently moved overseas. I bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus and have been trying to get it set up with google voice so I can text with it and check voicemail. Anyway it require a phone number verification through SMS I guess. Is there a modified apk anywhere that bypasses this? I know you can use voice on a wifi only tablet for texting and voicemail and what not. Is there maybe some way to change my phone's device type just while installing? Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I have searched around for help and mostly just find info on how to get a google voice number outside the US.
Edit: Well I wish there was an easier way but in case anyone stumbles across this I did figure something out. I backed up the copy on my Asus Transformer and just restored the data to my nexus and it works. Mine was loaded on the tab before I left but I bet you could side load the apk on a tablet, sign in, and do the same thing I did since the tablet won't try and do a sms verification.
