I use google voice in a different capacity.  The number tied to GV is the one I give out.  I can then tell GV where to send that call to, so it acts as a router.  I also keep most of my friends and colleagues in my address book, where I put them in a group of GV and customize the response.  So when I'm willing to accept calls from family, but not friends, I just set it up like that and give some custom voicemails to the groups in question.

I have the GV android app, but use it mainly to manage my voicemails more effectively than verizon's normal voicemail system.

Wifi calling on my android phone with T-mobile is not very reliable. Some wifi points connect, some don't, those that connect drop calls, etc. I think google voice is VoIP, so it sounds as if it would be a replacement for the wifi calling app on my phone. But some boards say that T-mobile customers get charged minutes even when using GV.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone on the list uses GV + Android + T-mobile and what their experience has been.

Also, in reading about GV, it says I have to get a new phone number. How does that number relate to my mobile number, or is it something in the background that the world does not see? The google docs are not very helpful in explaining just what GV provides.

Thanks,

Mark
