I thought this was a Google Voice app that didn't require it be using SIP or another vehicle. That's all. I really want a true Google Voice app that makes my device work like part of the normal phone app like on some Android devices. The SIP implementation using Gizmo5 is cool for the phone part, but I want to also be able to send SMS and receive as well, preferably using the default SMS/Conversation app. Dialcentral does neither of these. Its a decent app, just not what I expected.


I wasn't sure what short code SMS is. Had to Google it. I NEVER send messages to short numbers. My calling plan when I had a SIM didn't even allow it, and for good reason. The LED alert is nice, but why not the yellow alert with audio like all other apps? The LED isn't always obvious, and hasn't worked for me yet. I actually have already missed some messages, and haven't seen an alert of any kind. I think it loses connection or something.

Is it impossible to implement GV SMS into Conversation like a typical messaging service? Does Nokia have no plans to implement it? I know they said they're all about service accessibility now.
But wait there's more!

I am (slowly) working on a project called "The One Ring" which is meant to tie GoogleVoice support into Dialer/Contacts/Conversations such that it will be almost native. It will still require you to have a SIP account calls will forward to.
