Thanks for the reply. I'm new at this, but trying to understand using Google Voice website. So if I use the website to dial a number and then use my cell phone to talk, this call should not use my 'anytime minutes'?
Correct, and THAT is what got extended as a free service through 2012. Google Voice itself is already making money through its foreign long distance service, so the free domestic service (using Google Voice + VoIP) will likely stay free... or people will leave in droves.If you use the GV website to initiate a call on your cell, it uses your minutes. Without a 3rd party app, only calling from within Gmail, using your computer's mic / speakers is free.
I'm understanding now, but one more question...
If you use your phone web browser to connect the call with GV website, then would it use the minutes or use data. Depending on what kind of calling plan you have, and or data plan, I assume.
What I see under Settings are:make sure under you mobile phone settings in google voice you uncheck the forward to phone setting.
Since it's free to use GV to send text messages, and I have 'Pay As You Go' with VZ for texting, is it possible to have VZ turn off texting and will GV texting still work?
I get spam/junk text messages at time and it can add up to $1 or more per month, VZ charges 20 cent per msg, sent/received.
Any suggestions/ideas.
Thnx.
regression, it's not so much as switching to GV text, but having Verizon turn off texting to my cell phone. (no texting thru VZ text service) If it is possible VZ can turn it off, would it have any effect on GV texting?
I guess I'm asking if VZ can stop all texting on their end, would it have any effects with GV texting!
Thnx.
Thanks again. My GV number is different. Now when you say I can disable VZ texting from my cell phone, does that mean I can set it up or I need to contact VZ?
Sorry, sorta new at this, my old phone I was with US Cellular, unlimited talk & text for $55 per month but no data plan.
Thnx.
