I'm sure it'll never happen on the iphone, but I'm still wishing for the blackberry/android-type google voice integration where your google voice number works with the native phone/sms/voicemail apps. It's hard to make a full transition to google voice when you still have to route everything through a dedicated app. Baby steps though...
This has the same function as the dialer in the iOS phone app - to add a contact entry for the number you have dialed. It only works after a number has been entered, which is expected.
what if youre in Wifi? does the google voice app use wifi INSTEAD of ATT minutes?
No, Google Voice is not (currently) a VoIP app. All calls use cellular minutes.
Bah.
Google Voice (the service) is only available in the U.S., so it makes sense that Google Voice (the app) would be too.
Google Voice is not about VOIP calls (now, at least), it's is about having a single number you can give to everybody and then you can route the number however you want.
For example: A call from your wife will ring all your phones, a call from work associates will only ring your work phones, screen all calls from unknown numbers, making people say their name, etc.
Free texting is a nice perk and the transcribed voicemails, while far from perfect, give you a quick idea what a message is about without having to listen.
I agree
I agree with this being much more exciting than the Beatles coming to iTunes. Maybe this was really what we weren't suppose to forget?

That is the add contact button for after you have dialed a number.
I just wish they had a VoIP option especially since you can call out through GMail for free. Maybe it will come later.
are you sure your name is not sean kovacks? Dude, GV+ lacks push, and the last update trashed auto-correct
there is a race condition and texts can be sent to a different recipient when you click on someone before the conversation finishes loading....
and this was free...
Downloaded the app, entered the email and password, then there was this "type in the text shown in the image" thing. I could never get pass that point. Not able to sign in my account at all.
Anyway, a non-working GV app is still way more exciting than BUGs......

Direct dialing is a NEGATIVE if you have the ATT circle of unlimited minutes in your plan from 5 numbers. Other apps support the non-direct dialing so the calls appear to come from a GV number so it's part of ATT circle of unlimited calls.
I am assuming this is just apple restricting ipod touch from making google voice from working.
In theory as long as ipod touch has wifi access, it should work.
Thanks...I guess...I'll need to think more about how I'd benefit. I agree, cool concept long term, if it continues to grow.
App is worthless.
I don't want Google Voice to dial my cell phone when I make a call, I want it to dial my SipGate number. Still stuck with the web option...ug.

I agree! This app calls too many numbers at least make it one or two direct dial numbers. I used it four times to make calls so far and got four different numbers. GV Mobile + and GV Connect always call the same "local" direct dial number so they to me are worth the $$$... Only nice feature I like so far is push notifications....
