  2. Need help with Google Voice

    I didn't know where to put this question, but since it's a service provided by Google, I thought I'd start here.

    I signed up for Google Voice. I have a phone # established with them. I wanted to just make calls without one, but I couldn't even get the Call option until I got a Google number.

    When I try making calls it just hangs then goes back to showing the Connect button. I can't find any thorough support for this on the web or via phone. There's only simple step by step instructions on how to get a number and make calls, which I've already followed.

    I have had a friend test my Google Voice number and CAN get calls on it. I haven't any Contacts in my Gmail account. Do I need to establish Contacts for everyone I call? It doesn't say you have to in the Google Voice instructions.

    Does anyone know why this is happening or of any troubleshooting guides on it or tech support that is actually useful?

    [Edited]
    Managed to make some calls via setting it to use my Home Phone vs Google Talk, but I don't know it that will still be a free service if dialing outside my area. The headset I bought is useless so far though since I can't seem to get Google Talk to work.

    I do have Google Talk updated to the new Hangouts software btw.

    Free phone Call from google to US & Canada??

    Google Voice - Wikipedia

    The Google Call feature is Google Voice, but included with Gmail. It's a US only service at the moment. People in the US can call anyone else in the US and Canada free of charge, but have to pay to call anyone else internationally.

    Quick Google Voice question

    Hey all, it's been a while. I'm sure many of you have used Google Voice, so hopefully you can answer this question for me. If someone has my gmail address as a contact, is there any way they can see that I'm using Google Voice or see my Google Voice number? I'm trying to catch someone doing something, and used Google Voice. They have my Gmail address...I looked all through my account and I couldn't find anywhere where it showed the two together. Thanks.
