I'm not sure why I didn't have the file, though.... :confused:

Basically, I guess I'm asking if there's a way have Google Voice call my cell phone rather than text the message when receiving one.

Of course yes, Google Voice will call your cell phone - that is the who essense of Google Voice.

But point is poeple will have to call your Google voice number (not your cell number) and then in GV you set up your Cell number as the forwarding number.

In that case when anybody call your GV number, your cell phone will also ring. You can setup multiple phones as forwareded numbers - like have both Cell phone and Home phone ring when you are at home and have only Cell phone ring on Weekdays when you are away from home .. and so on.

I sthis what you asked for ?

I finally got selected to get Google Voice (sorry, no invites to pass along) but I had a devil of a time getting the calls to properly forward. Following the onscreen steps was easy, and my phone was registered with google voice. But actually getting the calls to go to Google voice proved to be more difficult. At first I figured it was just a matter of "bouncing" my voicemails using the call forwarding function in settings>phone, but its not that simple. Instead, one needs to send the call forwarding command (prefix *004* on T-mobile).

I've updated to PR 1.2, but i got an error message when I tried to send the command. After some vigourous googling (hehe) I found that I needed to add a little command to the call-ui.ini file in the /home/user/.osso folder.

Navigate to that file, open it in the text editor of your choice and simply add:

[supplementary]
ssc=1

(you did make a backup of the original file just in case, right?)
Just to be on the safe side, I rebooted the n900 and then tried sending the command again (*004*GVnumber#). The first time, I think my reception wasn't very good, but the command went through on the second try. I still cannot just hit "voicemail" to get to Google voice, but i have GV set as its own contact with a shortcut on my desktop.

Meme, are you calling your new Google number, or the Google Voice number (the one that functions as your new voicemail) If you call in to the voice mail, once you enter your pin you can hit 2 for calling out again. i believe the "google number" is essentially like a forwarding number that will ring any associated phones.

In addition, is there any way to send SMS from the N900 using my GV number (without opening a browser and etc...)?

As has been mentioned several times, Dialcentral or "Google Voice Plugin for ..." also known as The One Ring.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Any idea about the non-accepted service code to try and set GoogleVoice as my voicemail? That has to be squared away before I can do anything else.

It may be important to note that I am using my N900 on an ATT sim that thinks it is in an iPhone 3G

I don't understand how to send a text with the GV plugin. I want to send a text to a friend's cellphone number but don't have him saved as a contact in GV
