i have interest in your App showing date & time at status bar !
can u let me know the App name ? thank you
Use SBSettings to show date & time in the status bar.
A couple key things worth noting for those that have not ever used Google Voice:
– Voice calls DO count against your carrier minutes
– Outgoing text messages are free, but if you don’t turn off the setting to forward SMS messages to your regular cell number (Settings->Phones->Edit->Uncheck “Receive SMS on this phone”), incoming text messages will count against your plan since they are forwarded to the stock Messages app by Google Voice. The downside to doing this is you will have no way of knowing you received a text since neither Google Voice nor GV Mobile make use of Push. With SMS forwarding off, you have to manually check for messages using GV Mobile or the GV web app. However, you can use Growl in combination with Prowl to take care of this, and send you Push notifications when a text is received. Works great. Highly recommended.
Just thought it important to point out the subtleties of these features, especially the (partially) free SMS, since most articles you read fail to mention it’s not completely free (incoming and outgoing).
Just to clarify…
With SMS forwarding off and Growl + Prowl setup properly, you do get 100% completely free texting (incoming and outgoing) with Push notifications. Goodbye texting plan! :-)
I have an iphone 3gs could someone please list how to do this exactly. step by step?
great! just got the invitation on my phone
it total Free??
or it cost little???
You forgot to black out all your phone numbers.
Thanks, that’s our Google Voice #, we just blocked the others.
Oh I guess that is you GV number so who cares you can easily block them. how well does this app work with backgrounder since push was not implemented – cause this is what I NEED to block some calls and create a blacklist type app, but better!
lucky me i got this app from the app store and i really like it 4ne calls get 4warded to my cell sms is easy from the actual app its got good UI. u block calls by setting it up in ur goole voice account. i no longer give out my cell # instead i give my GV # n i can listen to peeps leaving msgs. now my problem is shud i switch to the one available in cydia coz of updates?? the one from itunes is 1.2 n the 1 in cydia is 1.2.2 ama go with cydia hope all goes well

Anyone help me to use prowl with growl in windows. i m trying receive sms from google voice with the help of prowl notification. I am not able to figure out yet. I already install prowl on iphone and growl on my pc. I also put iphone api on the growl. but it seems its not working. PLZZZZZZZZZZ HELP
Have you installed all the necessary add-ons and scripts for Firefox? You need the Growl/GNTP Firefox extension, Greasemonkey, and the GoogleVoiceGrowl Script.
You also have to keep a Firefox window open on your Google Voice inbox continually for the Greasemonkey script to work. The Firefox window must also NOT have the focus (i.e., click off the window onto your desktop or some other window) for the script to auto-refresh your inbox.
I installed another Firefox add-on called MinimizeToTray, which does exactly what it’s name implies. It allows you to minimize Firefox to your system tray, that way you don’t have to look at the minimized window in your Task Bar all the time. After installation of the add-on, you’ll see a “Minimze to Tray” option under the “File” pull-down menu. Or you can just hit F9.
Hopefully that helps. Good luck.
OH…SBsetting !!!
thank you very much !!
ya, rite now, google voice is only by invitation, you have to contact google for that

I did the (Settings->Phones->Edit->Uncheck “Receive SMS on this phone”) but they still get forwarded to my cell number, how long does it take for it to go in effect?
It should take effect right away. I’ve toggled it on and off several times on my account, and it’s worked every time.
I did some testing on my iPod Touch. Obviously, you can’t make or receive calls on the iPod, but you can in fact use the dialer to ring another phone number and connect a call that way. Sending and receiving SMS works fine, as well as listening to voicemail.
anyone can invite me ? since google voice invite only now
moshelog@gmail.com
thx in advance

i noticed your block your phone number on the settings page – image 8 (img_9012) – but you forgot to on the texting ones: 4 and 5 (img_9008 and img_9009, respectively).
do i need a google account to use this? Or can i use any email. Be gentle with me iam new to this
Just added my g-voice number to my at&t “a-list”. Waiting the 24hrs for it to verify but I hoping it’s a good work around to get free in and out calls
