Now there are issues I still have not read up on ..such as making a call… seems to be something I need to adjust someplace. keeps bringinb me back to green Call status. This thread helps a lot, thanks !!
Quick comment / feature request about GV Mobile +. I leave it running in the background 24/7, open to the SMS page. A large part of my day is spent without service/wifi, so when I open the app back up later, there are tons of “Error” messages stacked up, and I have to tap “Close” for every single one. “An error occurred while trying to establish a connection with Google Voice.” Can I only get one error or none at all? It should try to communicate, and sleep until the next try without erroring if it can’t reach GV. Thanks.
Do i use my gmail account to sign in, and where are all the settings, i cant make calls, invalid comes up, and when i open up history it crashes. please help
@sean I second that request. Sometimes I forget to turn Insomnia on, and my office is built like a brick **** house, so there’s almost no cellular signal.
How feasible would it be for GV Mobile to handle iPhone dialing events?
For example, if someone sends me an email with the number for a restaurant or something in it, I can simply click the link and the iPhone calls the number (or I can hold to choose to SMS). Can GV Mobile be set up to intercept that event and call or SMS from my Google number instead? Same idea with clicking a phone number in Facebook, Safari, Maps, Contacts, etc.
This app would be ridiculously popular if it could also integrate Gizmo’s SIP service. The current solution for many people at the moment is using GV Mobile to place the call, then opening Gizmo to actually talk.
If you could place the call with GV Mobile and also use GV Mobile to talk (via gizmo SIP) it would be a 1 stop solution. It would basically be a completely unlimited voice cellphone plan as long as you had data….without the hassle of having to open 2 different applications to make or receive 1 call. That would be awesome.
I get this message when I try to login:“An error occurred while trying to establish a connection with Google Voice.” I have an internet connection and my username and password are correct. What do I do?
Hi, I have been using this app to make calls through my iTouch and it has been working great…until today. Now when I try to make calls it shows the “Dialing…” below the number and then it suddenly stops after about 5 seconds and it shows the green call status. So nothing seems to be happening. Only yesterday it was working..any help would be appreciated.
Hey there! I thought I saw somewhere that you were submitting this app again to the App Store? Is that factual? And if so, do you think they will let it through this time?

Here’s a Vote for your app over Google’s new implementation.
The premise is that incoming calls to foreign places are cheaper. In fact, in China (where I am) they are free.
1) I use GV/Gizmo5,
2) I use the OLD Safari GV browser client, and
3) I use GV plus for jailbroken phones.
All of these initiate calls to me, and then to the calling party - and they all work. (GV Plus has the slickest interface).
But the new Browser offering forces me to initiate a “local” (or in my case international) call. If there was an option to use a local dial number or to have the system call me back, that would be ideal. But as it stands now, being based overseas, the current implementation is unfortunately impractical.
First I would like to say that you do awesome work. I have been using your app since I got it from the App Store (When it was there). I have currently purchased GV Mobile + from Cydia. My only complaint is that I can’t use the favorites button. Every time I click Favorites the app crashes. I have tried Re-installing and Remove and Re-install. Please help as it is a pain to go through all the contacts to find one of my favorites. FYI, for those that want push, I am using Prowl to notify me of new SMS and VM’s and it works great. You just have to open the app once you get the push notification.
I have tried both and Sean’s GV Mobile + is by far better than the webapp if you don’t mind Jailbreaking. The only drawback is having to manually hit the #(pound) key for direct dialing calls. And as my previous post says. I can not use the favorites button as it crashes the app.
I am having this same problem! It keeps shutting off when i try to cal or refresh SMS. Please Help!!!!————————————————Hi, I have been using this app to make calls through my iTouch and it has been working great…until today.

I had he same problem and its because google changed their login page. Looks like they updated there security. I had the same problem and was going to just wait for an update to fix it but I found that if you reinter your login and password it will reconnect and work great! This app is a must have.
Works like a charm, I would like to see the option to send an SMS to multiple contacts. GV Mobile via the web can, but they can issues accessing all of the contacts.
Sometimes when typing long SMS, it takes a word or two before it scrolls down to show you what you have typed.
A favorites box with an SMS/Call button would be great. I’m coming from the HTC TouchFLO side so I have to try. The phone pad/favorites is nice, but I’m looking for a quicker solution.
I’m using the free version on Cydia and the day before yesterday it stopped working. It doesn’t dial. It says the number I’m trying to dial is unknown or doesn’t exist (or something like that). I re-installed the app and now is working again. Remember, I’m talking about the free version. I haven’t tried the new + version.
add my name to the list of “people who will pay you a subscription fee for push notifications”…i cant stand the 20$ a month i am currently getting charged for unlimited texts, especially since each text message costs 1/3 of 1 penny to deliver…
@Aj`
Having the same problem as mentioned in Nicholas’s and Aj’s comments. When I dial a number (using my Gizmo5 number as the ringed number, and a soft SIP phone app running in background on iTouch), it doesn’t do anything but return to the green call button. Used to ring my Fring app running in background very well until recently. When I dial a number but specifying my landline number as the ringed number, it gets through. I’m wondering if it’s some kind of Google’s or Apple’s blocking??? I tried to reenter my credential and even reinstall GV Mobile (free version), but nothing worked. Please help!
Using GV Mobile with a jailbroken 3Gs. Just want to know will I be charged by AT&T on calls or SMS made using the app? If so I do I make free calls? I’m using the international AT&T Plan with unlimited data and $1.99 min to call back to the states
I’m sorry to leave this message here but I have been looking for other options and nothing else is available.
I bought GV mobile+ when it came out in january, it worked well on my jailbroken iphone 3G with 3.12 firmware installed. I just found out there was an update, so I tried to install and I would get an error:” Triyng to overwrite/ applications/GV Mobile Plus.app/O.aif, Which is also in package com.modmyi.gvmobileplus” so I deleted the app altogether but now I get a “Hash Sum error” and am left without the application that I paid for.
any suggestions? I tried the forums and haven’t seen anything related..
Thanks
this app is a trip!!

@adam True. lol I’ll see what I can do.
@Lytle-Andrew D Caulder There is an option to turn off the PIN. It’s in your account settings.

I think its not currently possible to add push notification right now for several reasons.

For now, I’m sticking with GV+
I love the app and the service on my iPhone. However, why does the call reroute to my phone first before dialing out? very strange…
@tom
It’s not VoIP — Google Voice needs to call your iPhone and then connect you with the call.
Which one of you generous people wants to demonstrate your loving spirit by getting me a GV invitation so I can enjoy this app?
Any news on Ma Russia release on the Itunes store?
How do you get a GV invitation? I would like one please.
Great App! An SMS CHARACTER COUNTER would be really useful though,hope you could add it in the next release, Thanks!..
Has anybody tried both the new + version and the new web version that google just released? Which on is better?
Just got my beta for voice central black swan. It works very well and is very fast.

@Jerry
Re entering the credentials fixed the problem for me
can’t get plus to install “mismatch error”
when I tried to use the non-plus 1.22.1 version it intermittently works or crashes and just closes.
