Okay, so I'm trying to catch up on the current times with everyone else.

How can I send a text message since I'm unable to find a way of doing so.

I currently have Dialcentral 1.0.5 but have not installed Gizmo on my tablet.

Sorry for being so knowledge deficit on this but I'm willing to learn.

Unlike making calls, sending a text doesn't touch Gizmo.

Just enter a phone number or select a contact and select "SMS". You should get a dialog with a text area you can enter your message into and then select "Send" and all should be good.

Sounds too easy! *lol*

So with SMS I can send text messages to friends with cell phones?

Can I also forward or view text messages I've received on my own cell phone as well?

I don't have my cell phone as a forwarding number since I thought that would eat minutes off of the device.

You can send SMS to your friends, it will appear to come from your google voice # though. They can text back to your google voice #. Those will show up online and in Dialcentral.

You can set google voice to forward SMS to your cell # and reply back (they will also appear to come from your google voice #).

*EDIT* It won't eat minutes from your cell unless you answer it.

You can only view texts received through your GoogleVoice account.

The only phone number I give out is my GoogleVoice number. So all texts come to that and I don't have to think about it. Sometimes I take calls on my cell, sometimes through a SIP client, and sometimes through Skype.

Thanks!

I just sent my first ever text message!

I feel like such a man right now, I just want to go out and chop some wood!

One last question for the day.

How can I clear out dialed numbers and messages received? I'm not finding a delete option anywhere.

I still have yet to use this thing to make an outgoing phone call. I tried earlier today to call home but it didn't work. My wife got the phone call but I couldn't hear anything on my end, even after using the volume slider.

Is that because the number I called is also my forwarding number as well?

I think I'll try to work on that tomorrow since this is a really neat application to play around with.

You have to go to GV website to clear messages and phone numbers.

Outbound callīs audio works sometimes and other times no. I have found no solid reason for this.

Stupid question, but is it not possible to add Contacts for Google Voice on the Nokia Tablet?

It seems like java doesn't want to do anything when I try too add a friend.

The only way I can do so is by adding them from my computer.

Thanks!

That is correct, I do not provide contact management

Oh shoot!

I meant to say from the website https://www.google.com/voice from the Tablet.

Sorry.

Oh, and I just made my first phone call today. It was awesome!

I even was left a voice mail that wrote the message in text to easily read from a friend without any misspellings or wrong words added.

I'm smiling like crazy over here!

I had no idea how cool this whole thing could be!

Many thanks for this!
