    Why does Google go so hard?

  13. HerrBismarck says:

    You CAN use your Gizmo5 number with GV, but that’s just because Gizmo gives you a number. I don’t have a Gizmo number, and I cannot get one because Google bought Gizmo5 (and they are not allowing new accounts for now).

    Google will “merge” GV and Gizmo5 so the only thing that you need is GV to make calls with you GV number ONLY.

    I know you can use it, but that is not implementation. That’s just a work-around.

    So again, I can’t wait for Google to implement Gizmo into GV.

  14. AceTracer says:

    What part of my post confused you? You place the call with Google Voice, it dials your Gizmo number. No voice plan required, the entire call is placed over the internet. You can absolutely use Google Voice with only a data plan right now.

  15. HerrBismarck says:

    That is not implementation. When you use Gvoice, Google calls your phone, then calls then other person’s and then connects you. It does it through a voice network.

    But Google bought Gizmo5 a while back and people are expecting that Google will implement the Gizmo5 features into Gvoice (so that you can actually call from your GV number).

    If that is to happen, you will no longer need a voice plan or a txt plan, just a data plan.

  16. AceTracer says:

    Google Voice has absolutely implemented Gizmo, several months ago in fact. When you add a new number, “Gizmo” is one of the options in the pull down menu. You can then place a call with Google Voice and it’ll ring your Gizmo number.

    Google Voice only available in US right now.. Zzzz

  18. agentx3 says:

    Google Voice sounds kinda useless…

  19. HerrBismarck says:

    Well that’s weird. Sorry about that.

    @HerrBismarck
    No. The voice quality on my service is just fine, when I’m not receiving a call via gVoice.

  21. HerrBismarck says:

    That is strange. I use it for my calling (well, forward call. As I said before, you can’t actually call through it) and it is perfect.
    Do you get the same shutter without it?

  22. dLimboStick says:

    @HerrBismarck
    Gvoice has been working (crappily) for quite a while.

  23. HerrBismarck says:

    Yeah, I didn’t know when posted this.

    Already got my Nexus! (575$ because I have a family plan).

    Now I’m just waiting for Gizmo5 to be implemented.

  24. HerrBismarck says:

    you called through GVoice? How? Google hasn’t implemented Gizmo5 yet.

    Currently, when you call someone over Gvoice, you are calling through your carrier, no Gvoice.

    So the shuttering was bad signal or bad carrier.

    @HerrBismarck Thankfully, Google Voice is actually preinstalled on the Nexus One!
