Google voice with a list

[jordanak]

Has anyone added their google voice number to their alist to get free incoming and outgoing calls through google voice?

[Brickman]

I am trying to see if I can do that. Not sure I can pull it off though. I think Alli has done it though.

[jordanak]

Why wouldn't it work?

Yeah I have my google voice as my A list so far so good on this end. I been doing that though since the Tmo days on my blackberry when they use to be known as grandcentral.

[Alli]

Yup and yup. So far so good. The only ones unhappy about this turn of events are the students, cause I'll now call their parents right in the middle of class if necessary!

i'm gonna try it for about a month....but as i look through my call history i don't see my google number on there at all.....

every call i have placed with google voice is listed on my call history as my own number....
i says incoming for type of call...then my 7 digit cell number as the from #... I am not sure what that means....ill keep an eye on it.....

Other than that....google voice is a pretty awesome invention....especially if im not getting charged mins for its use...

EDIT: After a little more research...i found that if i use the internet to make a call, it wont count as an A-List number....but if i call the google number and place a call through them it will....

it is a little confusing....i will still keep an eye on it though.

Ok I have google voice now and I downloaded the app. So is it possible to make and receive calls not charged to minutes from AT&T? What is the A list?

[sargd66]

Never mind about the A list I dont qualify for that. So due to that I can't make or receive calls without them being charged to my minutes?

[Alli]

Correct. Google Voice is not a voip program, it is merely a switchboard.

Hmmm decision to make. Any other benefits to having it then? Why use it then? Might have to delete this one if there is no use.
