A lot depends on the cell plan you have. If you have a my circle, you can set up google voice to transmit YOUR google voice caller ID on each incoming call, making all calls you receive free. You can then see who is calling by answering the phone. If you dont want to talk to em just hang up and they never know
If you are a real cheap skate, you can even make all your calls for free by calling your google voice # from the cell (free in the "my circle" situation) and then initiating the outgoing call from your voicemail menu. Personally I found myself using my cell at home all the time. So I ditched it and went prepaid for emergencies only and invested in a magicjack for home. Lets face it, most of us are not important/entertaining enough to justify being on the phone all the time! I use gizmo5 on the tablet as it receives calls from google voice for free. Home phone I have magicjack (line 1) set up on an ata and gizmo5 (Line 2, different from the N810 account). I then have each line associated with google voice. For text messages I was originally using google email with my tablet. Since notifications are now possible with dialcentral, I am using it to text. You can have both gmail and hotmail on your tablet, Yahoo does not support POP3 or IMAP.
Now, my outgoing calls from home show up a different number than what people call me on (google voice). It was a bit confusing at first to most of the people that called, but once they stored both numbers in their cell phone it was easy for them to remember which to call. When dialing from the nokia via dialcentral it will show your google voice number.
It took a few weeks, but now everyone calls my google voice number. I have all my voice mails turned off so Google Voice handles it all. If I get a voice mail, I am notified by dial central blink and I also set up my gmail account to receive notifications from the GV website for fail safe. It may seem a bit redundant, but its nice to have back up in case one goes down.
*** I use the built in client for gizmo5 SIP connection as it automatically connects whenever I am online. No need for a second client. Also, depending on the IM services you use, the built in client now supports most protocols with the RTCOMM beta release (search the boards for install instructions). I like having everything built in a nice little package. Less programs I need to run the better
If you need more ideas let me know.
