Being harassed by a google voice account?

I'm being harassed by someone using a number through a google voice account, is there a way to find out who is behind the number?|||Hi,

How do I record conversations with Google Voice?

I have and LG vortex from verizon wireless. I downloaded googe voice so I can record phone conversations but as far as I can tell I can only make international calls with it. Can anyone help?|||How to record your call:





In order to record your call, simply press 4. You can do it when you first accept a call, or any time after it's started. To stop the recording, press 4 again or hang up.





Your recordings are saved online and you can access them just like you do with voicemail.





Note: at this time you can only record calls you receive on your Google Voice number. You can't record calls you initiate using our Click2Call from our website or the Return Call feature from your voicemail.

Is Google Voice really a free alternative to paid phone carriers?

I must be missing something. Obviously they don't subsidize the cost of the actual phone, but why would Google be willing to give away expensive services for free that other companies charge hundreds for? Is it all online? Do they not offer 4g service and make you use wifi only?|||want the data on it read this site





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Voic鈥?/a>|||Google Voice lets you make calls from your computer, but you cannot make free calls from a cell phone. It basically calls through your existing provider.|||Yes it is. They want more traffic and more ad revenue.

I'm using my sprint number as my google voice number, any issues arrive with sprint because of this?

I don't want any extra charges new to google voice, help please.|||thats a bad move...

Does Google voice work on the t-mobile mytouch 4g?

Just anyone who has this phone and is using Google voice on it. Please give me some input.|||Yes, it works just fine - it works on all Android phones running Android 1.5 and higher. You would obviously require to create a Google Voice account with a number, and make sure that you download the Google Voice application from the Android Market for your phone.





A lot of people are confused about what "Google Voice" is and does. This service does NOT allow you to make calls over the Internet like Skype does. Google Voice requires that you have a voice plan with your phone - it will still tax your allotted monthly voice minutes.





However, if you have a data plan (which you most likely do if you have the MyTouch 4G), then you will have UNLIMITED %26amp; FREE text messaging when using Google Voice. This means that you do not require a Text Messaging plan from your phone carrier - because the text messages are sent using your data plan (Internet).





I have been using it for years (the company was called Grand Central prior to Google's purchase of it). I use my Google Voice number exclusively for all of my incoming and outgoing calls.

Google Voice incoming caller id shows my cell phone number?

I just got a Google Voice number. When someone calls my Google number, my cell phone rings and displays MY cell phone number as the caller id. It does not show the callers number.

How do you use google voice?

I just downloaded the app google voice on my droid phone so that I can text and call with different numbers but I have no idea how to use this!!! Help!!|||Register for a Google Voice number then add your mobile or home phone to Google Voice. When someone dials your GV number, your mobile phone and/or home phone will ring. If you make calls using GV app on your Droid, then your GV number will show up as your caller ID number and not your cell number. This is good if you don't want to give out your personal cell number.





You can make and receive calls in your Gmail plus many more features:|||i not a expert on this but ive been using google voice for a couple of months and what google voice does is give you a free number that can make free pc to mobile calls and free mobile to mobile txts. Now what this means is that you have a number that can you can give to other people instead of your mobile number and what the app does is sync your google voice number with your mobile so that you share your inboxs, that way you can save voicemails and txts for future use. There are many more features to google voice app such as blocking people calls and forwarding it to another number, i've only talked about the significant features.

How does SMS work on Google Voice?

Do you need a working cell phone carrier to send the SMS messages, or does Google send the SMS directly? No one is receiving the SMS messages that I send via Google Voice, so I was wondering if maybe that is the problem. I'm on military duty and my cell phone is deactivated for the time being.|||Hey M8;





Read this: http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/send鈥?/a>





It gives some links to web sites that send sms directly to cell phones.





Hope this helps, and stay safe!|||Step 1


In your google voice account settings, you have to select the Transcribe Voicemails option. This will allow google voice to record or SMS your voicemails to you. It is under settings in the general account settings. After setting up this option, it will become available.


Step 2


Whenever you receive a voicemail, it will be transcribed to your google voice account. It will also include the audio file of the voicemail so you can listen to it to make sure there are no mistakes.


Step 3


Google voice will continue to get better and recognize more words. This will help prevent mistakes.


Step 4


It will also let you search your SMS/text messages. It will store a backup/history of all of your text messages. Through the interface, there will be an option on the main page to search your SMS history.


Step 5


It also allows you to use the new feature ListenIn. This allows you to listen to a voicemail being left on your phone so you can decide whether or not to answer it. To use this, simply press 3 when someone calls you as long as your phone is set up to work with google voice.


Step 6


Through the google voice page, you can forward all of your phone calls to a different phones or to one phone. For instance, you can forward your home phone number so that it will ring on your cell phone. When you log into google voice, click the Phones tab and then settings to change these options.

How do I get an alternative number for Google Voice?

I have installed google voice on my android, but I cannot seem to find where i can get an alternative number BESIDES my actual phone number.

I know I can call out, but it still gives my real number as caller i.d.

Verifying Google Voice on Phone with Broken Display?

Strange request..





I broke my phone's display last night and would like to use google voice until I get a new phone. Only problem is I can't verify because I can't answer the call.





Is there anyway to verify my number without answering?





Thanks!|||Why would you want to verify a broken phone? If you can't answer the call on the broken phone you won't be able to verify it and, even if you could verify it, it won't work with Google Voice either. You can always forward the calls from the broken phone to your other cell/home/work number temporarily and you can verify it that way But again it won't help you use it on the broken phone. The simplest solution is do nothing for now - wait till you get the new phone.

Use google voice on computer instead of cell phone?

I just broke my Android phone but i had it all synced up to my gmail account.


Is there any way i can make the calls and/or texts that would go to my phone go to my google voice on my computer?|||Since Android is always synced to your Google, or Gmail account, you will be able to easily access almost everything that was once on your Android device. To do this, you should log into your Google/Gmail account. (https://www.google.com/accounts/Login) Once you are logged in, then you should go to this link (https://www.google.com/voice) From there, I can assure you that you will be able to access the same info you had on your Android phone.|||Yes, and No...





If I understand what it is you are trying to ask, can you use your mobile phone number that was provided by your phone's carrier with Google Voice? Yes, IF you had ported that number earlier to Google Voice, otherwise you will have to create a NEW phone number to be used with your Google Voice account.





If your Android based phone is using T-Mobile or AT%26amp;T, then take out that SIM card and place it into another GSM based phone that works for that carrier. Then log into your Google Voice account and link that phone number to your GV account. Once that has been done, you can take the SIM card out and you can make and receive calls via GV.

Why Google voice just for US not for others ?

Google started their new service called google voice qhich is a great service but why they launched it just in US , and i have no idea whats wrong with them , if they can trace the IP and figure out from where the account is created why don't they do it while sending invites , it really sucks when you do get an invite and still can't create an account and use the service , this it disgraceful :-(|||Once invited, you use a US zip code to get a list of available numbers in your peticular zip code. Google only has access to available numbers in the US obviously because google is based in the us. Im sure there are tons of restrictions and red tape google would have to go through to get access to other countries zip codes, or equivalent thereof, and gain access to unused telephone numbers in said "zip code" areas.





And hulu cant do anything because of copyright restrictions on the content they show. Most the shows on hulu are based in America. Why else would there be different dvd country regions and release dates? Same thing with hulu.|||You can create an account. You'll probably get an invite after a few weeks from what I've heard, but you won't be able to do anything with the account if you're not in the United States.


I used to have an account with Grandcentral that worked fine with my Canadian phone number. Once Google bought them, they invited me to "migrate" to Google Voice. The problem is that now it will no longer let me use my phone number, and I can't revert back to Grandcentral! It's really annoying. Hopefully they'll expand soon.





These online American companies are really weird...they're all obsessed with "region restricions" like Google Voice, Hulu, and others. It's really dumb...companies from other countries don't do that...it's some asinine elitist American crap.|||Google Voice is currently invitation only.


And possible they are only able to give out US numbers at this time.





Google does attend to begin support for additional countries but there is no time-frame at this time.

What do you prefer skype or google voice?

Yeah it's more like a survey :-)


I prefer google voice because it has better rates|||Well... Skype has a better platform for 1to1 communication and is versatile on most devices. For example.. I use skype and recently they came out with a new version which works on the iPhone. So now, I skype my girlfriend to her PC from my phone while on the road because she doesn't have an iPhone.





As far as the paid features go, I have no idea, I didn't know google HAD paid features.|||Yes, I've used both skype and google voice. I also did some research regarding features as a free platform and for versatility and skype exceeded my expectations.

I tried using google voice dialer but I'm not sure if it worked or if I was even using it in the right way. What other application do I need on my cell phone to make it work. I'm using a wifi connection if that helps any.|||When dialing a number with Google Voice on a cell phone, you can only do so with a voice plan from a carrier. Your voice calls are NOT over the Internet like Skype is. However, your SMS are sent over the Internet either through a data plan with your phone carrier or over a WiFi connection.





You can use Google Talk to make phone calls (this is tied to your Google Voice account) within your browser if you are using Chrome for example (I have not tried to use other browsers for this task, so I can't make a judgement one way or the other). Simply access your Gmail and make a phone call, make sure that you have a working microphone and speakers (doesn't matter if you use a headset or if you have both the speakers and microphone built into the computer).

Using my regular cell phone number with Google Voice?

Hi. I'm interested in trying out Google Voice and just requested an invitation. I'm curious about one thing though: If I get a Google Voice number, will I need to tell everyone that I changed my phone number? Or will people still be able to call my current cell phone number to reach me as though nothing changed?|||Yes, you will be able to recieve calls on your cell number as planned.





If you recieve a call via google voice, what happens is it calls google, and google calls you with them on the line. The same is vice versa when you go to voice.google.com and place a call. Your cell phone does not actually take on a new number.





Any phone calls you make from your cell phone will appear as your cell number. The only way you can send calls using your google voice number is through a google voice app on your cell phone, or placing a call via http://voice.google.com

google voice requires that you have phone service, or a gizmo5 account... it is not a phone service, but it supplements the service that you currently have...


it can be linked to up to 6 different phones - cell phone, landline, voip (as long as you have a DID), and gizmo5 accounts...





you can use your PC to make calls with your GV number by using the click to call function.. you log into the GV website, and enter the number you want to call with your GV number, then check the phone that you want to talk to the person on, GV will call you on your phone, then call the person that you want to talk to... this can also be accomplished by calling into your google voice number, and pressing 2....

Does it cost money to pick up a call from my friend who is using google voice?

I started to use Google Voice on my phone, but I don't want it anymore, how to stop it?

I have an EVO 4G and I wanted to do the trial of Google Voice or something, but I hated it so I uninstalled it, but it's still doing the text to voice with my voicemail. How do I stop it?|||Go to www.google.com/voice, log in with your account, go to settings, and there should be a big link that says "Deactivate Google voice-mail on this phone". Click that, select your carrier, then put whatever you need to into your phone (probably just *73).





When you initially enabled GVoice, the instructions had you dial a number which enabled no answer/ignore call forwarding to your GV number (or GV's access number), now you need to 'Un-forward' it by hitting *73 call on your phone.





If that doesn't work, you'll most likely have to contact your carrier and ask them to cancel the Conditional Call Forwarding (or give you the code to do it yourself).

How does Google Voice really work?

What is Google Voice? Like what is the point of it? I had an invite and I signed up, I only have one cell phone, no house or work phone? what things can I do with it ? it says is free, does that mean I'm not using cingular minutes ? can someone explain to me how this really works? the purpose of this? what can I do ? can I add my husband number on my account ? how does it work?|||The oringinal purpose of Google Voice is this:


You get a GV phone number, say 123-4567.


Your cell phone is 444-4444 and your home landline is 555-5555 and your work number is 666-6666. If someone calls 123-4567 it will ring 444, 555, and 666.


So, you see, you only need the GV number for the rest of your life. Change cell phone providers and your friends don't need to know that you have a new cell phone number. Just change it in GV and it will ring your new number.


The service also allows free long distance calling, but it's only free from a home landline.


I tried to get friends interested in GV, but they just didn't care. Basically, no one wants to go to the hassle of telling people to start calling this new 123 number. I think this service ain't going to be doing a whole lot for you.|||I don't know if anyone will respond to this but it seems to me that after looking into how Google Voice works exactly, one can actually make and recieve unlitmited calls for free even from a cell phone, with the combination of certiain plans (such as MyFaves) by adding your GV # to your MyFaves.

|||When they say Google Voice is free, they mean the service itself. When you make phone calls, whatever plan you use already, is still the one you use. They just mean it's no additional charge to get Google Voice.





In your situation, even if you only have one cell, there is still much you can do with it. The first thing is getting a Google Voice number. That alone is a nice feature because 1. You get to pick your own number, 2. That number will never change. So you can continue to give out your Google Voice number to your contacts without having to worry that they won't be able to contact you if you switch phones/get a new cell number. All you have to do is change your cell phone's number on your Google Voice account.





Also, Google Voice turns voicemails into text, so you can read it on your computer, or have a text message sent to your phone with the message.





If you add your husbands number on your account, that's when the real function of Google Voice comes into play. If you have immediate family, that you want to be able to contact you at all times, on your Google Voice account, you set it so that when those people/numbers call your Google Voice number, it will ring BOTH you and your husbands phones.





If you have friends that call you regularly, but don't want to bother your husband with having his phone ringing, just set it so that when your friends call, it will only ring YOUR phone. And vice versa for your husband.





Also, you can choose to have it send certain people straight to voicemail.

Does Google Voice charge for Texting on a Landline?

I decided that I was tired of paying for texting so I decided to make a google voice number and put my home phone number (which is landline). I disabled forwarding SMS to my home phone. Now I just text through my computer. Will it charge my phone company?|||Yes, it's free plus, you can text on your mobile phone as well, if you have one that is.|||It won't charge you, but Google Voice has low coverage, it can send free SMS only to US. Why not use a really international free SMS service?





I recommend this site:





www.e-freesms.com





It lets you send free SMS to 220+ countries. So you can send free SMS to anywhere in the world. :)|||Nop it won't.. It' totally free..

Can i use Google Voice in Dominican Republic?

Im going to DR on vacation. Can i use google voice from my iphone to call the US when im connected to WiFi?

If you use Google Voice, does it use your cell phone minutes?

I keep hearing google advertising google voice as a way to get cheap calling, but how can this be, isn't it still using the cell phone towers from whatever service you have(AT%26amp;T/Verizon, etc?) Basically what I'm asking is if I switched to google voice could i then lower my calling plan to a very low amount of minutes and then not have to pay much for cell service or does it still use my cell's service?|||At this time, Google Voice is a free service. But realize that it's mainly a phone forwarding service. Many are thinking that when it's said that Google Voice is free, that includes free calling on their cell phone plans, or that minutes are not charged on their cell phones, and that just isn't true. Your cell phone plans will continue to function just as they did without Google Voice. There are some ways around some of that with favorites lists, but that' dependent on the cell provider.





The main benefit I've seen personally is that now I can call my long distance relatives via my home phone by dialing through GV and that won't get charged as a long distance call. If I were to just dial directly with my home phone, I would be charged long distance. That also transfers the minute usage for that on my cell phone off of there, meaning I can move to a more economical prepaid cell phone if I choose. I don't do any international calling, but when I started, free calling had been limited to the continental US. I believe they've since opened up free calling to Canada (unfortunately, still not free to Alaska, Hawaii, or the US territories as far as I know).|||Too vague and confused.





"continue to function just as they did"


So using Google Voice is charged as a phone call and it's not VoIP?





"That also transfers the minute usage for that on my cell phone off of there"


Huh?

What's so significant about Google Voice as an iPhone app?

It was significant enough for Apple to block it, Google to get royally upset about that block, and consumers to get mad that they couldn't get it.





But what exactly would Google Voice as an iPhone/iPod Touch app be able to do that's so special that it warrants all the fuss?|||Google Voice provides the user with their own phone number that you can attach to six (6) other phones.





I use Google Voice, I switched from my iPhone on AT%26amp;T to a Droid on Verizon. When I got my phone number from Verizon, I basically tossed it away, I don't need it and for a year now, I don't even know my own number from Verizon... instead, I use only my Google Voice account.





The reason is that I always have my voicemails transcribed and emailed to me. They show as "visual voicemail", and I don't even have a text messaging plan, I get unlimited and free text messaging through Google Voice, the catch is that I have to have a data plan. Again, I get unlimited calling minutes to anywhere, anytime within the United States, Canada and Mexico, I only pay 2 cents a minute calling Europe, this means that I don't have to pay Verizon for outrages international calling.

Does google voice use my phone minutes?

I have google voice on my ipod touch, and when i call someone, it routes through my cell phone. Does this use my minutes?|||It uses data, and a lot of it, but not minutes.|||When you tell Google Voice to call you and connect the call, it will ring the cell phone, and once you answer the phone, it will use cellular minutes. Your cell phone is still receiving the call, and in the US, cellular carriers count incoming, and outgoing minutes as minutes being used.





If you are able to get a new phone, consider an Android Smart Phone. You will be able to install Google Voice, and make the calls directly from the phone. It will still consume minutes, but it will remove the need to have the iPod Touch tell Google Voice to call your cell phone to make a call. Instead will be done directly from the phone.





At this time, Google Voice on Smart phones does not support SIP calling, and therefore still needs to use the cellular calling network. However, SMS uses the Internet Data connection rather than the SMS services.|||I am not 100% sure on google voice.





But if I understand it correctly it uses the internet to contact your chosen people.

Is google voice completely free, meaning if you call someones land line or cell phone will it charge them?

I while back I created a google voice # and wanted a different area code, I'm just wondering if this will charge those who have land lines a out of area fee? Will I need to change the area code to the same one I am calling (land lines) for it to be free?|||Depends on what service the land line people have. I haven't heard of anyone being charged long distance when someone calls from a cell phone for a while. Think of google voice just as your cell phone, not something special in this case. IE I called my family in NC with a washington state # for years, and they never got charged anything crazy.|||In the US and Canada, you don't get charge if someone call your landline so my answer is yes, its totally free for both you and the other party.





For mobile phone, the other person will use up its minutes unless he or she has unlimited minutes.

Does it cost money to call a long distance google voice number?

I made my google voice number not thinking about the area code, and I found a number that has my last name with an S at the end.

Will it cost my friends long distance to call it if it forwards to a phone that is in my area code. If it does charge them, is there a way to fix that? Thanks.|||Yes it will cost them money, since it's a long distance number, that is, unless they have free long distance.

I don't understand what makes google voice different. I don't think I'm grasping the fundamental concept of how all these different numbers become one. Can't people just use one number on their own?|||The point of GOOG voice is to simply give you the flexibility of taking calls made to the google # on any of the lines (your cell, your home phone, your vacation house phone, etc) you choose to connect it to.





If you're under the assumption that there's cell coverage everywhere, you've been mistaken. Verizon has the largest and most extensive network, but even Verizon has holes (very few, but nonetheless). If you are on AT%26amp;T or T-Mo, you've got to work on a pretty crappy network. So, you ask your buddies to call your google voice # instead of calling your cell. That way, when you are at home or near a landline, you can take your call on that without having to worry about reception.

How to setup Google Voice like service outside the US?

I want to setup a Google Voice like service for my country and I want to know how Google Voice works, also how I must go ahead and setup a service like this and what else would be required?|||If you're at the point where your asking this question on Yahoo Answers, you're so far behind the learning curve that there's no way you could do it.





Google will most likely open up voice accounts to your country far faster than you can learn what you need to know, then implement it.





But just simply, the companies that do what Google Voice does are generically known as Virtual PBX systems. I would start by looking into that. There are plenty of them, but as far as I know, Google, with it's near monopoly on online advertising, is the only company capable of offering the service free. Other companies like Ring Central offer similar services, but they charge for them.





I'm sure there are already Virtual PBX companies in your country. If you're serious about getting this up and running before Google starts offering numbers in your country, you're best bet is to buy one and change their business model. If you can't afford to do that, you can't afford the investment of making one of these companies successful either. (That's how Google got started so quickly, they bought the Virtual PBX company Grand Central and then modified the system and into Google Voice. More recently, they purchased Gizmo5, which they are expected to use to create a VOIP system compatible with Google Voice.)|||you can get google voice number outside US and call all your frnds in US and Canada

I don't get the point of using Google Voice to make calls since you still need your phone to make a call and when you get a limited number of minutes or pay per minute you really don't save. I figured out how to text but I have no idea how to make calls without making it "call my mobile number" which seems TOTALLY pointless.

i do have limited numbers, but i added the Google voice numbers to my faves (tmobile) so i dont get charged.


i also use it for voicemail services, i have my number routed to google voice number after call forward no answer or call forward busy, google voice picks up my calls and when i check it, its transcribes it for me like an sms.

Does Google Voice cost anything to link a phone or call?

I recently got into Google Voice and I want to know if it cost money to call phones and does it cost to link your phone?|||Nope it doesn't cost anything, however you still have to use a phone to dial into Google Voice. So if you are using your cell phone to dial into Google voice, you are using your monthly minutes for the call.





As far as linking all your phones (house, cell phones, business work phone) to your google voice phone number there is no charge.

Is there a way to tell if a particular phone number is a Google Voice number?

How can you tell if a phone number is a Google Voice number? Will a reverse number lookup indicate a particular carrier if a number is Google Voice? Ive done a reverse lookup on a known Google Voice number and the carrier said Level 3. Can anyone confirm?|||I have Google Voice. Try this... call the number.

Can I use Google Voice on the EVO with out the phone being activated with sprint?

I have a HTC EVO for sprint and i havent activated it yet. So it has no number and no coverage. All i have is some data from WiFi. I was wondering if i can use the Google Voice to recieve incoming calls even though that phone is not currently activated?|||Answer is no (at the moment at least). The only way to make outgoing Google Voice calls outside of a land/cell line is via Google Talk or Browser (via Gmail) at the moment. Google Voice on Android merely initiates a cellular call using your Voice number as the point of origin.





My guess is that this is in the works. They just launched the ability to make calls via Gmail and Talk so my guess is that they will add WiFi/3G calling at some point.|||You can contact the customer care of HTC

What are the advantages of having a Google voice number?

I have a Straight talk phone and a landline. Why should I get Google voice?|||I use Google Voice as my exclusive number. There are a couple of reasons why...





1) I used to have a "stalker" ex-girlfriend, she kept calling and calling, and my cell phone provider only allows me to save voice mail messages for two weeks, I needed a more permanent solution (Google Voice saves voice mail forever until I decide to delete them).





2) I have been in some financial difficulty (economic crisis), and I could not afford to pay my cell phone bill, however, one requires at least voice mail when looking for work. Even though my cell phone got cut off, I could still make and receive calls (online, similar to Skype), and always have voice mail available for those who called me.





3) Google Voice allows you to filter incoming calls, you can setup "groups" such as "friends" "family", etc. So, I can ensure that my mother can always access me, making my phone ring when she calls, but if a caller who is not in any of my "permitted list" calls, they go straight to voice mail, this was a very useful tool when I wasn't paying my bills (due to lack of money) and creditors kept calling non-stop, since they were calling my Google Voice number, they went straight to voice mail.





4) There are other uses for it, I like that I don't have to pay for text messaging (free unlimited text messaging with Google Voice). This too saves me some money each month by not needing a text message plan with Verizon (my cell phone carrier). So, I can send text messages via my Android based phone, or use Google's email service Gmail to send and receive for free.

Does having only a data plan work if you use google voice?

Lets say I go into the sprint store to get on a contract with a phone, will they let me do it with only a data plan?

You will be able to call and text. However google voice does not support picture or video messaging. Also, google always uses your preset minutes not the "mobile to mobile" or the "a-list features" because it calls a seperate line and uses that line to connect you to the person








ohh yea, and you would have to give everyone your new number.. which sucks :(

Otherwise there is no current time line for opening up the invitations. Current members can't send out invitations yet like they did with Grand Central.|||Thank you very much.

How can I make Google Voice calls from my land line?

I'd like my Google Voice phone number to show up on caller ID when I make an outbound call on my land line phone. How do I go about doing that? Thanks in advance.|||Google Voice will call your phone and connect you to number you want to dial. Enter your land line phone number as your phone.





You can do this by clicking on the Call button just under the Google Voice logo in the upper left-hand corner of the Google Voice page.

How do you plug in an actual house phone to use Google voice?

I just recently signed up for google voice and i wanted to use an actual house phone because i dont have a mic. Can i use a a home phone and plug in my computer or something? Do i have to have a USB phone which by the way i dont know what the hell it is. Any help would be good. Please and Thank you(:|||My suggestion is get a $20-$30 webcam with mic combo and use that. Or get a regular hosue phone.|||Unfortuantly its not that straight forward if you wanted to use your standard home telephone you would need a special adapter and thats just the start of it.





If you click on this link http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=3508 then look at the photo at the bottom it will give you a rough idea how it works.





By far the easiest solution for you is to buy a USB Mic and headset. Something like this will do

Looks like you are USA based if you really want to use a standard house phone you will need a VOIP compatible one but you will need a tech guy to help setting it up for sure!

Once you downoad the google voice app for the droid 2 do you then lose the ability to check your?

voicemail the traditional way with verizon...*86?? I set up my google voice acct and DL the app but I previously had 2 new voicemails in my mailbox then I can not access because now when i dial *86 I can't access my voicemails. now when i dial *86 and press # it prompts me to leave a message on my own voicemail, not check messages.|||computers%26amp;internet%26gt;internet%26gt;google

computer- you go to google.com/voice (you should have your account set up if your asking this question.) then it will say call on the left hand side you click on that and type in a phone number this will call your phone when you answer it will start ringing this is google voice forwarding you to the number you called i no kind of stupid but thats what it does wanna make a call from your computer go to googles gmail (hopefully you have a gmail account cuz google rocks) on the left can side it says "call phone" on the left to the bottom of the options where all your contacts are click on that and type in the number you want to call (this is free to anyone in the u.s. land line or cell) you can call them right off your computer your number will not show up though just for a heads up)





if your trying to make a call off your phone well from what i no you cant it just goes right threw your phone thats the best i can answer that you can download skype pay a little for credits and call people threw skype if your calling there skype its free though hope this helps
