Google Voice is HERE!!, MJ is Dead

jose.miami · Post by **jose.miami** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 1:54 am

I just got my number from Google Voice, The service is excellent and you get so many features that is hard not to dump MJ, free in and outgoing in the US. I can be anywhere in the word and call and receive calls for free.

Sorry Magic Jack for what you did to the ATA users but I am dumping your service for sure.

I don't understand your post. GV is a telephone utility, not a telephone service. You will still need a telephone service (ie:MJ, Verizon, etc...Voip or land line) to make and receive calls. Am I missing something here?

I have been using my google voice number for quite a while, I used grand central first. I have been very happy with my google voice account works really well. I use the GV app on my G1 and have the number as one of my Fav5. I use it as my voice mail for my cell. I just don't think that it is the best product for the average home user, now if it had an ata interface or a way to easily use with a regular phone without having to pay for a line to receive your calls on. They also have very good international rates. I will keep using my GV with my MJ but I don't plan on dumping MJ just yet.

I use my PAP2T with a Gizmo5 account to receive, and my computer to dial out GV will forward calls to your Gizmo5 and your cell Phone, it will let you record your calls, you will be able to change phones in the meddle of a call, and all the calls in the US are FREE.

Mj its probably a phone Co.?? but you still have to use your Computer and still have to pay for the service, so what good is that.

FYI MJ is a VOIP Service Provider not a Phone Co.

May be you are talking about having something like this to be a phone Co.

Personally, I don't see GV as a replacement for MJ. That, however, may be a statement about my limitations, not GV.

But when I go to use GV, I have to either be at my computer and click a number, wait for the incoming call and then make a connection. Same goes for using it with my cell phone. As much as I appreciate the service, it's a little clunky if all you want to do is make a quick call.

Am I wrong?

Darkman,

GV can be configured to dial your GV voicemail (from any phone) and once in VM, you can select an option to make an outbound call (for free). Therefore, creative GV users have set this up like a card number on their cordless and/or cell phones (and cell phones can also use GV as visual voicemail and use GV's most excellent mobile app). Still requires some other kind of phone to make the call, but GV users don't have to go to the computer and click, click, click. I like it, like it, like it (and I really don't even know how to use most of the features).

I haven't thought of many ways to use GV and MJ together, other than forwarding back and forth (which has been very helpful in my case for a number of reasons) and recording incoming MJ calls when needed (through the wonder of multiple forwarding).

That' what he ment. But it can be used together with MJ or with any other VOIP provider which offers free incoming service. Definitely a great thing and I just hope they will send me an invite.

Yes guys a lot of peoples are getting invites from Google now it is great. I have been busy playing with all the features. There is the link with all the new features:

http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html

The reason I got the MagicJack before was because I travel and I wanted to call home from my computer from any of the countries I go.
Now I can do the same and it wont cost me a penny using any soft phone.
Just one number to call and it will reach me anywhere I am.

Because GV will ring all the phones you have registered with them.
Here at home in the US I have my Gizmo5 registered with my PAP2T. So I can answer all incoming calls with my cordless phone and if I have to make a call yes I have to go to the computer and do it but is not a big deal, I am sur someone will come up with a good idea for that soon.

The thing is IT IS FREE, and serve my purpose.

See how Google Voice works with your phones

Watch the overview
One number for all your calls and SMS

* Call screening - Announce and screen callers
* Listen in - Listen before taking a call
* Block calls - Keep unwanted callers at bay
* SMS - Send, receive, and store SMS
* Place calls - Call US numbers for free
* Taking calls - Answer on any of your phones
* Phone routing - Phones ring based on who calls
* Forwarding phones - Add phones and decide which ring

One number for all your calls and SMS
Voicemail as easy as email, with transcripts

* Voicemail transcripts - Read what your voicemail says
* Listen to voicemail - Check online or from your phone
* Notifications - Receive voicemails via email or SMS
* Personalize greeting - Vary greetings by caller
* Share voicemail - Forward or download voicemails

Voicemail as easy as email, with transcripts
More cool things you can do with Google Voice

* Conference calling - Join people into a single call
* Call record - Record calls and store them online
* Call switch - Switch phones during a call
* Mobile site - View your inbox from your mobile
* GOOG-411 - Check directory assistance

...you can select an option to make an outbound call (for free).

b3wh169... thanks for the tip I'm currently exploring different ways of using GV and posted a message on The Lounge. A number of folks are doing some fairly remarkable things with it.

My proposed use with it for the MJ is to let GV act as the VM for my MJ# so all callers to the one number get a tailor made message.

Interesting times!

synchron · Post by **synchron** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:14 pm

Finally got my invite yesterday, pretty cool stuff from Google.

Since I dial out much more than receiving calls, the only quirks I have is that you have to do alot to make that free call via the phone (*,PIN,2,<10-dit number>,#). Also, web access is tied to your gmail and I wish there was a way to separate the gv pw from the gm pw so that other family members can have access to the web features (like dialing out from the web page) without having to know your gmail pw to get to it.

I've proven to myself that call quality is much better through gv than directly thru MJ even with ATA. Can someone explain this: If my ATA is still setup for MJMD5, at what point does google voice "take over" from MJ and YMax? I mean, does it occur as soon as you call your number and enter your PIN? Going through the MJ softphone (without the dongle method) the mj call log still represents the entire call time, not the "YMAX/mj" time.

Yesterday, particularly in the morning, call quality on the receiver end was really choppy on the ATA (through MJ direct - nott GV). Changing proxy servers on the MJMD5 side helped a bit but sooner or later the Ymax network will become so saturated that GV is gonna win out - heck we're talking about G O O G L E here!

Since I dial out much more than receiving calls, the only quirks I have is that you have to do alot to make that free call via the phone (*,PIN,2,<10-dit number>,#).

I have GV setup as one of my Fave5 (show Google ID checked, for free incoming on Fave5) on the cell phone and a landline that has no long distance. As, speed dial, 2, <10-digit number>, #. Instead of waiting for the ringing then, *, Pin. Also eliminates the chance of the other phones picking up on that first or second ring (if there's a delay on your end) while trying to make a long distance call.

My phone/s are setup as Direct Access (no ringing) to VM, almost instant connect to VM (no pin required), press 2, enter the number your calling, press #, put it to my ear in time to listen to "This is a free call" and it's ringing the number. If you press 3 instead of 2 you get Google 411, it will also connect you and the call is free.

To set this up go to:
Settings/Phones/(under Phone number) Edit/ Show advanced settings/ Voicemail Access: Direct access to voicemail when calling your Google number from this phone?/ click Yes & Pin not required.

Just remember anyone with access to that Phone/s and dials GV number, has access to the VM without entering the pin.

The drawback to this setup is you cannot call the GV number from that phone/s and have it ring all the phones that you have GV Forwarding to. For example you have home, better halfs cell, their work, etc as forwarding phones. And you want to reach them, you will have to call each number direct, instead of just calling the GV number.

Also, web access is tied to your gmail and I wish there was a way to separate the gv pw from the gm pw so that other family members can have access to the web features (like dialing out from the web page) without having to know your gmail pw to get to it.

I set my GV accounts with a "fresh/different" Gmail account. So it's not tied to my personal Gmail.

The drawback, it is only linked in "Google Accounts" to that email. If not familiar with "Google Accounts", it's Login one place and have access to all Google under that email. Account setting, password change, checkout, email, GV and other apps.

https://www.google.com/accounts/Login .

You already have an account if you have Gmail, just sign in with your Gmail info. Or the longer way, login into your Gmail/Settings/Accounts/Google Account settings, this takes you to the same page.

To change email used with GV use this form:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform ... N0ExU1E6MA

You don't have to give a story, but I think you have to put something in the box. I just said want to change because wrong email, or I didn't know it was permanent.

There's some other info in The Lounge, How Are YOU Using Google Voice?

If the caller (AT&T) calls GV number which has forwarded the call to another AT&T Cell phone.. Is it going to be AT&T - AT&T free minus ?

How does google handle the call ?

Is it a simple redirect or acting a middle man in the call ?

Thanks

AT&T/Cingular cell to GV, will cost minutes, unless it's has some kind of free plan. But AT&T/Cingular cell to GV (with show "Callers ID" checked) should be free incoming to the forwarding AT&T/Cingular cell.

I have almost the same set up, but I don't to dial my contact number not do I have to dial the GV number.

I set it as a card calling: Access + Phone + card, in this way it works like this.
In my cell if I wanted to call any of my contacts I will go to my list find the person and kept my finger on the sent key ( my cell will automatically dial my GV number) until GV answer, it will ask me to press 2 if I want to make a call (I will enter "2" manually) then I press the OK key and my phone will automatically dial my contact number, then I will press the OK key again and my phone will dial # key, I know I can do that by hand but that is the way the calling card is setup.

GV Number + I manually enter "2" + Hit OK the phone will dial thi person number + hit OK to enter "#" key.

For setting a calling card my phone give me 3 options:

1 Access + Phone + card
2 Access + Card + Phone
3 Prefix + Phone + Card

1 or 2 will be the choice, in my case, since not all the cell phones are the same you made have to set it up in a different way, but you got the idea.

You ca even set up your ATA cordless Phone to do the same, There endless possibilities to make FREE calls without the use of the computer.

I have Sipgate on my ATA to take advantage of the free 2 outgoing Hrs.
there is also Voxox, and the quality is excellent.

And if you have the skills and time you can even set up and asterisk as a gateway to get to your GV account using Gizmo5, because remember GV connect to Gizmo using a SIP address SIP/[email protected]:5061
and even do they block certain funtions there is a way to get to your GV gate way as is explained in this link

http://nerdvittles.com/?tag=gizmo

G O O G L E will be FREE for ever.

P.S. I had to change my user name because the Quotes don't work right if your user name have a dot in it. may be the admin can fix that.

Thanx every1 for your suggestions. I've created a new gmail account and put in a request to switch the GV account to the new account so every1 in the household can use the GV web features. I'm surprised Google doesn't allow multiple email accounts access to the 1 GV account, but whatever - you can't go wrong with G O O G L E.

Unless someone can prove me wrong, I'm still convinced that GV (unlike sipswitch/sipsorcery) takes over the phone line from whatever Voip/landline provider you started out with. It works great and cooperates with the MJMD5 ATA seeminglessly for an outgoing call that can last up to 3 hours for free with no beeps and great call quality. To me, the quality is so good that it sounds like a G711/711a codec even though I know the best codec my ATA supports is a G729/729a. It's that good! Worth the wait!

Hi Folks:

Do anyone of you have a working set up of GV / Gizmo / cordless phone to make calls dialing the number from cordless phone instead of clicking the number on the computer screen ?

Here is my situation:

I have a working set-up with PAP2 / Gizmo / cordless phone and GV. I can make calls by clicking on computer screen and using cordless phone to talk.
I would like to make calls by dialing from the cordless phone w/o using computer screen. When I dial the GV number from the cordless phone, I do not get GV menu which I normally get say with MagicJack. Instead I get a msg after several rings the Subscriber is not available.
All I just need is GV menu.

Can someone help me on this ? Thanks in anticipation

This may seem redundant since Gizmo charges per min, but they claim SIP to SIP is Free. I believe GV is SIP, they do have something to do with Gizmo (Settings/Phone/Edit/Phone Type: menu bottom)??? If this is done would this setup be SIP to SIP or ? Or does Gizmo/GV have this blocked? Has anybody tried?

Joe,

Sorry about that, but I ment GV BetaTester, not yours, just reference to the link you posted. I edited that, so not to confuse things. It was about the statement on GV forum about having to be in your Gmail for the link to work. As long as you have the http, even in a text form you can use it. You don't have to click the link from the original email. The way GV BetaTester stated it, it was a little confusing. You are correct, and answered the question many might be having now. I will also add, you don't have to use a Gmail, my brother recieved one on an AOL account and used it with an AOL email.

There's now an area in my.gizmo5.com for you to specify your Google Voice credentials. Once enabled, your outgoing calls from Gizmo5 will go through Google Voice.

OMG!!!! yes I have confirm this info, This will make all the in and outbound call FREE using GIZMO5 in the USA.
With this implementation every one will have a FREE phone in the USA.

That is the biggest news we can all have.

Just dial any USA number from your soft phone or ATA (PAP2T in my case) configured for Gizmo and you will have direct dialing to any USU Number. No more messing around with asterisk or PBXs.

I think you should check your dial plan and make sure your asterisk dial the number in this format (+1 XXX XXXXXXX) including the plus and the 1.

Just a suggestion

I also want to be able to recycle mi dead MJ dongle, I know some people has being using that to make calls with different soft phone, but now we need to be able to used with GIZMO5 soft phone, not that I needed but it will give you more options

RIP MJ...........
it was good while it last, figure $20. vs FREE, not ATA vs any configuration without breaking the TOS. MJ is DEAD.

I have noticed that if I try to call my GV number with this setup in order to check my GV voicemail, it rings the phone I am calling from (Gizmo5 configured in PAP2T) with call waiting indicated, and does not allow me to check my voicemail.

I suppose it's due to the fact the the outgoing CID is now the GV number, and so essentially it appears that you are calling GV to GV.

I'd like to be able to check my GV voicemail.

When I use any phone other than the one connected to the ATA, the * option works. I can then access VM and anything else. I tried this using the land-line and a few cell phones.

I don't know why the phone on the ATA won't work.

country code is not necessary, an if you want to make a gizmo5 call just dial 747 xxx xxxx , without the 1.

as you can see 911, and internationals calls are not allowed.

I am using the Google Voice / Gizmo5 setup with my old SunRocket InnoMedia ATA, and it is working perfectly, with seemingly slightly better call quality than MagicJack.

It makes me a bit sad; I have really liked MagicJack, but this basically renders it unnecessary. Not having to keep the computer on for calls and the extra features of Google Voice are nice, too.

Yeah but this is experimental feature and we dont know how long it will last on gizmo project or what google will do as this will result in more calls from their lines

Excellent reference link. I got the Gizmo softphone to send and receive calls thru GV. Next I'll setup my SMCWTVG ATA. Thanks so much az1324.
