i found your list on the other thread as well and made one of my own! Many thanks for pointing it out.
it's something that may begin to be possible at some point in the future by using voip. Then all the voice would be seen as data. Apparently with some basic workarounds you can already do this while on wi-fi. I can't verify this personally but from some reading and looking over some apps, it sounds very possible. This wouldn't eliminate all your voice minutes but would give you extra talk time. You might want to try some google searching for more concrete info.
This is true but you do give up caller id to do this, right? The workaround is to set your incoming phone number through gv to only show your gv number and not to pass along the caller's id. So you get unlimited calling if you list your gv number as one of your f&f numbers.
That's what i had seen as well, though i've not used it yet personally since the inc will be my first android phone.
however, check out the video below. It shows some of the basic functionality of the gv app and how to use it.
ok, this is an imperfect part of the system but there are some things you can do. Go to the gv web interface and send some texts to your friends making sure that you have the replies forwarded to email. Once you get their reply in your email, you'll have an email address assigned to their phone number automatically by gv (as the "from" email). You can then add that email to your friend in google contacts as "other" or whatever you like. When you want to send them an sms via email, just use that email address. A little kludge but it works. Also, look for any gv extension in the browser that you use. The gv extension in chrome browser is wicked awesome. You can send sms directly from there with a couple of clicks, see your inbox and also make calls.
It gets delivered to the store somehow. They will definitely send it insured and most of the time overnight so it'll get some of the best treatment possible for a shipped item. I think i'd be more worried about a forklift dropping a pallet of them. Remember to inspect the pkg before signing and you always have your 30 days to exchange if something is wrong with it.
Do you already have the other lines activated yet and want to consolidate them or do you want to add them. You can definitely use your ne2 but you might get a better deal if you do the whole thing at once. Sometimes they'll offer free phones (usually semi basic feature phones but still...) or a really cheap deal on a slightly better phone. If they know that you're adding three lines and a data plan, they'll like that and might give you some extra breaks. Maybe one of the vzw reps on here could confirm.
I've been doing the same thing...though i've used gmail, gcontacts, gcal etc for ages. I added photos to as many of my contacts as i could, made sure that i added their fb pages, had their addresses, phone numbers etc all cleaned up and as up to date as i could. My next project is tackling my photos and probably adding space on my google acct so i can sync all my photos from my pc and phone via picasa web and picasa desktop. I'm rather showing some ocd over this phone.
