So basically nothing really note worthy to mention…
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make calls from my phone app and cannot figure out how to do it. The only way I can figure out how to make calls from the computer is by clicking the “Legacy Google Voice” button that makes it go back to the old appearance prior to the update. Do you know how to dial out from the computer since the update?
What kind / brand of stylus you used in this video?
Ok so I am trying to use this with an old phone I have. I don’t want my Google number to be connected with my carrier number. I can’t seem to make calls with the Google voice app the same way I easily can with hangouts and the hangouts dialer. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
New interface is lacking in some areas, which you must revert to the “Legacy Google Voice” interface. Hopefully those features will migrate over to the new interface in due time. But at least the Legacy version remains to accomplish what the new version is lacking.
Anyone know why Google contacts do not automatically sync with Google voice? Seems like I should be able to type someone’s name in GV and have it autocomplete from my contacts. It doesn’t. So I have to find the person in my phone contacts and then click through to GV to use it.
how do you record a greeting for your voicemail on your account? The instructions on line are not relevant to this new set up. Thanks!
OK how do I get GV to take incoming calls? Sending phone gets the ring tell VM picks up then moments later the income phone gets the VM without ringing. Can call out just no incoming calls. Most videos I see up are back in the 2015 – 2013s. Same for Google Forums.
is there a means of setting a different ringtone for google voice on iphone 7?
so may i ask a question can you download the app on your phone or on any device ,like a tablet or something like that will the web page update
OK Google is all I need to use features on my phone through voice and have no problem what so ever with it. I can call, set appointments, send text, do maps, open browsers.
how did u get the updated google voice app? Play store says mine is up to date but it still looks like the old one. I’m on a 1+1 running marshmallow
I’m excited too. It’s about time they did an update.
How to delete text now? All it say is archive. Scary!
How do you leave a personalized greeting on Google Voice now? I haven’t had Google Voice for years now, but decided that I needed it again, but I can’t seem to figure that out.
Why the redundancy?? So now it seems NEW Google Voice has everything Hangouts has and more. If that’s the case, why not just remove Hangouts from your portable devices and PC and use the NEW Google Voice? Anyone?
Where can I buy that stylus? Also, will it scratch screens without Corning Gorilla Glass?
Why can’t u make calls off of GV and why can’t u text now in HO?!
May have answered this, but too many comments to read…I had a droid with my PA phone # and a CA google voice # forwarded to it. When calling out, it would ask me with each call which number I wanted to call from….Now I have an iphone7 and it doesn’t ask me that. I really need to be able to use both choices for work. How can I fix this on my new phone? I can’t seem to change anything in settings?
Did you mention group MMS? Not sure if I caught that.
I used to be able to place a call from my computer, i don’t see that option anymore.
I love Voice – Use it as my business number – It’s a VOIP number for cryin’ out loud, Works great!
I’ve had Google Voice for over 6 years now, but I almost never use it because it required using your carrier minutes for calls, which kinda defeated the purpose. I’m wondering if the updated version now allows calling through WiFi or mobile data ?
How is this better than Hangouts now?
how do we delete messages?
I currently carry two phones, a Project Fi for personal and Verizon for work. I am tired of carrying two phones, and want to move my Project Fi to Google Voice. What’s the cons of doing this? I heard hangouts soon won’t let you use as an SMS app with anyone other than Project Fi. Not sure how good MMS/SMS will work on Google Voice?
This is completely confusing. I’ve had Google Voice on my PC for years. Somewhere along the way I vaguely remember getting it integrated with Hangouts, so that I now have the capability for both on my PC and often make calls from gmail.
On my android, I have only the Hangouts app and the Hangouts dialer. Why would I also need a Google Voice app, when Hangouts provides incoming and outgoing calls just like Google Voice?
What I’m trying to figure out is how to set up either (or both) of them to also ring my cell phone when I have no internet connection. But I want unanswered GV/Hangouts calls to go to GV/Hangouts voicemail since I do not have (and don’t want to have) voicemail set up on my cell phone though my mobile carrier. Any directions would be appreciated!
I am looking for something that I can answer my cell from the pc and talk through headset without picking up my cell is this it?
So I had Google Voice for years some how I started getting telemarketing calls wanted to change my number but they wanted to charge me $10.00 to do that WTF Is that all about why when I have no controls over that.. I can see if I changed out ever week but really I had the same number for a few years
And you forgot the most important thing, how to make a call. Because it’s called Google Voice
is there a way to download and install earlier. also, why no one is covering the middle tab where it seems like you can place VOIP calls directly from Google Voice, which is pretty hot and would cut the cord from Hangouts.
How do I add my own personal message?
I received the new update, but still unable to receive MMS or Group texts (still go directly to factory installed messaging app). Any advice?
are you using the google flex?
Juan Magnum!!! Love it. BTW, I always thought the way you say your name sounds like “One Carlos Bagnell”
Great video, so the new app (which hasn’t show up for me yet natch) properly handles SMS and MMS. Cool. So why would the average Joe continue to use Hangouts? I’m not on the “corporate track,” whatever that means Google.
I’ve been using google voice for years. Still using it today. It’s very convient and I can’t do without it.
I’ve been using Google Voice for nearly 10 years now.
i stopped using Google hangouts because callers started getting a message saying “we could not complete your call. Please try again.” Neither Verizon nor Google were of very much help so I had no choice but to revert to Verizon’s voicemail
Anyone actually get the update yet through the playstore?
How do u get the new Google Voice app? I have not seen the Play Store show it yet. I’m still using my old Google Voice.
Great… it’s been “upgraded” so much that I have to come here to ask if anyone knows how to make a call from my computer. The old google voice had a clear CALL box & CONNECT button. Now what do I do?
How the hell do you record a fucking voicemail? I used Googlevoice to set up a business phone number and every direction or link leads to outdated instructions.
Can you schedule texts with this service?
Just got GV for business purposes. I use on my cell phone for all my calls. I want to be able to differentiate my outbound calls to friends/family and for business. For friends/family I want it to show my personal # for outbound calls and for business my GV # when I make an outbound call. Currently all outbound calls show my GV #. Anyone know how to change this? I don’t see an option in settings.
How do you delete text messages?
I use my Google voice number as my main number and make calls with it on my data. I use Google voice though Hangouts and only check the voice app… never.
