    I can confirm that Google Voice _does not_ use cellular minutes, at least from my carrier. Google Voice is essentially a VoIP forwarding service - the call is carried through your device's data connection. Have been using it exclusively for 8 years with a monthly carrier plan with only 100 voice minutes, so I pay attention to this.

    If you have Google voice on your cellphone and your cellphone is connected to your car radio it can be a pain if you select ask each time which phone number to use for an outgoing call. You have to make that selection on your phone and if it's not easy to get to the call will not get made. That is for outgoing calls only. You can set it to manual calls only though if you want to use the Google Voice from your cellphone.

    • @christinabest1962
      @christinabest1962 4 роки тому +2

      Yes you can - but each recipient will have the number of every other person on the message. I have never been able to find a way to individualize them without sending the message individually.
      They will only have the number and not the name, unless the number belongs to a contact in that student's contact list.
      Hope this helps!

    • @christinabest1962
      @christinabest1962 4 роки тому

      Forgot to mention - it is similar to the way you add multiple email addresses to an email. It will automatically take you to the text section after you enter the first number but you can go back up to the phone number and continue to add more numbers.

    Thank you so much for the good information about Google Voice. From what I understand you saying I would have to use my cell phone to talk live with another person. I can't use the computer to talk thru my microphone? I was hoping I could talk to the other caller without using my phone. Is there any way you can do this, on a Chromebook. Is there another app that can do this?

    @afastplumbingdrain 4 роки тому +1

    I'm looking to find out if calls coming in from Google Voice to my business cell phone (that I already use for a different Plumbing Company business) can have a different ring tone. I may be able to select a specific ringtone from my Android Samsung cellular device if it carries the Google Voice number through as the caller. If it shows the incoming calls specific number it may not work. I'd like to carry the one cell phone and answer it with either Business name depending on the source it originated from.

    Hi, thanks for the informative video. I have done the steps however I cannot make or receive a call on my PC. Every time I dial a number it hangs up without even ringing, and if I pick a name from my contacts, the phone icon is not green color so it doesn't make a call. Please, let me know what the issue is. Thank you so much.

    Only problem is when my cell phone rings, it doesn't tell me if the caller dialed my number or my Google Voice number. There is a work around in the Legacy Google Voice but they say they are phasing that out. This is a major failing on Google's part. I want to know if the caller is calling for me personally--my cell phone number--or a business call on Google Voice before I answer.

    2. Can I still use my physical desk phones with Google Voice? Or alternatively, are there desk phones available for Google Voice users?
    Much appreciated if anyone can reply.
