Google Voice vs Skype Need to Make Decsion ASAP

I need to make a decsion on if I should use google voice for my new business or skype. The lack of ability to talk directly with a human about my questions is also frustrating. i need to order business cards and finish print materials asap so someone please answer quickly. Why should I choose skype over Google Voice when one is free and the other isnt.

Solo una cosa. GV è un numero MOBILE tipo mentre Skype-in è un numero di tipo fisso. Alcuni paesi non consentono l'ID chiamante per il tuo numero Skype-in - si richiede di portarlo a un numero di cellulare. Questo problema non è nel GV - ed è oggetto di molte discussioni denuncia su Skype-in Google "ID chiamante Skype-in" e troverete i thread.
Courtesy of Google Translate:
Just one thing. GV is a number such as Skype MOBILE-in is a number of fixed type. Some countries do not allow the caller ID for your Skype-in number - are required to take it to a mobile phone number. This problem is not in the GV - and is the subject of much discussion on complaint Skype-in Google "Caller ID Skype-in" and find the thread.

Hi, no netflix or even TV here, but I'm wondering if this is the problem?
Mac OS X: An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.8 or later. Browser support is Safari 3 (or higher), Firefox 2 (or higher) or Google Chrome. Mac Netflix was added October 27, 2008, which requires use of the Microsoft Silverlight technology.[99]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix#Software_support
Did it work in the past ever?
Could it be disabled?

Possible to make calls with Google Voice account through iChat?

I have a Google Voice account (have for a while now), which allows me to make calls through VOIP. I've recently lost phone service and have noticed that an option when making calls in Google Voice is through Google Chat.
Now, I can never get Google Chat to work on my Macbook, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get it to work with iChat.
I have signed into my Google account through iChat, but when I make calls in Google Voice and I select to call through Google Chat, it says "Calling You" like it would if I were using my phone as the proxy, but it doesn't do anything.

I think I figured out how I want to do this.
For others in similar situations (this is assuming you HAVE a Google Voice account, which they don't give out anymore, AFAIK), go to http://www.google.com/talk/ and download the plug-in on the left. Install it, then open up your gmail in browser. On the left side, there will be a section that can let you make calls directly from your computer. SUCCESS!!

Number ported out from Google Voice to Verizon not working

I am a new Verizon Wireless customer and I ported my number from Google Voice to Verizon. (number ending in 8466). However, Verizon keeps saying that they are waiting on Google while Google says they have released the number.
Message from Google:
Google Voice has successfully approved your request, but the carrier to whom you are porting hasn't completed their necessary action. If you are still having issues and your number doesn't successfully port in 2-3 business days, please contact your new carrier for support, as Google Voice is unable to take any additional action.
Message from Verizon:
Your port request has been submitted, but no response has been received. We expect your port request will be completed within 10 business days.
So obviously there's something wrong here. According to Google they cannot do anything since they have released the number so now it's all on Verizon. I am hoping someone from Verizon can look into this ASAP and escalate if necessary. It's really annoying because at this point I'm not receiving any inbound calls or text messages. I can only make outbound calls and send SMS messages. I understand there is an X number of business days I need to wait but at this point I am paying for a service that I cannot use and no one is able to reach me.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Thanks sprmankalel but I've already done that. That's where I got the message "Your port request has been submitted, but no response has been received. We expect your port request will be completed within 10 business days."
And when I check on Google Voice's end "Google Voice has successfully approved your request, but the carrier to whom you are porting hasn't completed their necessary action"
Interesting huh?

Google Voice APP and Google Voice will use cell phone minutes.

My Verizon contract has 1400 minutes shared with 3 cell phones. I noticed that my cell number was using minutes from the calling plan. I normally call the other two cell phones, and my home number (which is on my friends of family calling list). My original intention was to be able to hide behind Google Voice and not allow my cell phone number to be broadcast. Google Voice would use whatever phone number was available on their server, make the call, then connect with my cell phone to complete the connection. I didn't notice that my minutes were being used until after someone else reported that they had exceeded their plan minutes after switching their cell phone to use their Google Voice number for outgoing calls.
I called Verizon concerning this issue, and their only response was to contact the third party.
I have now, and informed my friends, to only use their number and change the Google Voice APP, Making Calls setting to "Do not use Google Voice to make any calls".
Just thought others would like to know.

As an example of the comparison: http://searchunifiedcommunications.techtarget.com/feature/Skype-vs-Google-Voice-Feature-by-feature-s...

Not receiving some texts from a ported google voice #

my google voice # was ported over to my droid x2 phone and i am recieving calls just fine but i am not getting any type of text messages from friends. where are they going and how do i get them to come over to me?

Do you mean that your ported your Verizon Wireless number to Google Voice? If so, it may take a few days for the port to complete and text routing to happen correctly. If you still aren't getting messages after a few days, you'll want to contact Google and Verizon to make sure the port happened properly. The messages MAY be showing up in your online Google account, and you could view them there, but it's not likely until the routing is corrected.
Or just that you directed your Google Voice number to ring on your Droid X2? If so, you need to set up an application on your phone to recieve the messages. Do you have the Google Voice app on your phone? You should be able to read the messages in your online Google Voice account, and find instructions there to set it up on your phone.

Any get Google Voice to work on 2.3.6?

Hi,
I'm a new Charge owner as of 1 week now. I received the Gingerbread update as soon as I turned on my new phone.
I've installed Google Voice but cannot get it to work. I cannot make calls from the Charge and have the calls come from my GV #. I've checked the option in GV that says to ask everytime if I want the call coming from GV.
Anyone have GV working fine with their Charge on Gingerbread? I just trying to figure out the issue....
Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, it appears this site was broken by a change to how Firefox handles a particular script command.
(When a script uses location.replace() to navigate to a new URL, apparently it now needs to use the whole URL, not a relative URL.)
Hopefully they will fix it soon, but until then, you can't use it in Firefox 4. (Or you would have to hack the page to use it, which probably is more trouble than it's worth.)

Problem setting up google voice on mt Iphone 4S

Here is my problem, I really hope someone can help!
I'ven been trying to set up Google Voice to my Iphone 4S. I logged into my already exsiting Google account and clicked the link "Get a Voice number". I then chose to "I want a new number" and after searching, finding and accepting a number I'm asked to set up a Voicemail password and accept the Terms and Policys of Google. So far so good. Here is the problem....
The next step in the setup is to add a forwarding phone to the Google Voice. I added my Iphone number (AT&T) and clicked "Continue". I'm now given a two digit vertification code that I'm suppose to enter when Goggle voice call me (the number I entered as a forwarding phone) to varify the number is actually mine. When it does, I enter the code but nothing! The computer voice responds "I'm sorry I didn't catch that". It does this three time before disconnecting.
By now I have tried everything and this is my last hope. I have talk to AT&T, Apple Support and no one could help me. I tried various things posted on the internet but nothing seems to work. There must be people with Iphone 4S that uses Google Voice. Please help me!
Thanks

The verifying message can take longer than usual as it needs to obviously verify.
Sometimes the program can become way-layed and stop working.
A few suggestions i have to make would be:
Click the home button twice, hold down the apps until they shake, and delete the mail and settings applications open.
Then reload the email and try and verify again.
Another suggestion would be to hard reset the phone, which would involve holding the home button and the lock button together which evidently crashes the phone.
That could refresh the data and allow you to access your email.
Similiarly you could set up another email address using the same email operator and see if that works.
If it doesnt, it might be worth trying a different email address e.g. Trying googlemail or hotmail.
Not sure how you set up your email account but try either of these methods.
Go onto settings > Email, contacts and calanders > add account > Choose your email type > enter username and password.
The other way would be to go into the mail app and set your email address and password through that.
If all else fails, try downloading a 3rd party application which can run your email account.
e.g. I have a Googlemail 3rd party application which i find is more accessibly friendly.
Best of luck.

How use google voice for texting so don't get charged from att???

can't find the correct settings to avoid being charged???
do I need to download google voice app on iphone ?

No, it doesn't support that. I mentioned the details in your other thread. To add to the other question, you must go to Google Voice settings on the web and make sure that your messages aren't automatically forwarded as text messages. If that is checked, you will receive a text message (which will charge) and a push notification (which will not charge). As mentioned before, you should simply use push notification to get your messages.

Straigh-forward config help for Linphone with Gizmo/Google Voice?

I'm attempting, well failing, to set up Linphone with two gizmo5-based google voice accounts. I've added the info into the SIP accounts section properly (from what I can tell) but I seem to still be missing something, as they are not logging in at all... they are timing out. My guess is that I need a "default login" in the [SIP] section of the .linphonerc file, but I have no clue what to put there. Do I add one of the other accounts there, or do I need some other info there? Just doesn't make sense to me. Any help would be appreciated...

How to sync contacts with Google Voice?

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the Desktop Software and need a little help. I have had my bb for over 2 years now, but I have never used the DT software for anything but a full back up do a full reset of my phone.
So he is the situation. I just signed up for a Google Voice account and replaced my sprint voicemail with the google voicemail. I want to add all my bb contacts to my gmail/google account but I don't want to do it manually. To sum things up, here are my questions (the ones that I think would solve my problem, but feel free to let me know if I'm venturing down the wrong path at anytime)
1) Is there a way to set the DT software to use Gmail/google as the application for Address Book? Right now I'm just using the Windows 7 Contacts.
2) If I can't use Gmail directly, is there another application that the DT software can link to that will save all the contacts as CSV files, and then I import them to Gmail that way? I believe Windows 7 saves them as a .contact file and Gmail says the format is invalid?
3) How do I add applications to the DT software that are available to sync the organizer data with? Currently the only options I have are Yahoo, Windows 7 Contacts, ASCII, and a 4th that I don't remember at the moment.
The usb port on my phone is going bad, so I have to do a balancing act it the cable in order to get the computer to even recognize that the phone is connected, so I really would like to get all my contacts into my Gmail account in case I have to get a different type of phone.... My patience is running thin waiting on the new Bold LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey dcdarrencrosby,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
You will not be able to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your contacts from BB to Google.
However if you have a Gmail account added on the BlackBerry, there is a wireless sync option that can bring your contacts over.

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

Why does Google voice no longer works in Firefox after adding addtional credit but does in Safari?

I am using Mac OS 10.10 with FireFox 30.0.2 as my browser. I was making calls OK on Goggle Voice through my G-Mail account. when I ran out of credit. I loaded additional credit and tried to resume calling. However, I kept get getting the following error message "Please download the voice plugin to make a call". Following the provided link lead me into a blind ally. Tried downloading a voice plugin and reinstalling, but no luck. Tried closing Firefox and reopening, but again no luck. There are no problems when using Safari as my browser. calls go through just fine.
Can't figure out why it worked just fine and thenstopped after laoding addtional credit.
