I have had GoogleVoice for over a year now. Just when Google bought
GrandCentral. Grand Central was formed to help partly homeless people
have a means of having a "permanent" number so they could obtain housing
and employment.
GV works on landlines and Cellular. I only give out my GV #, and then
set up groups, call announcements, block calls, set up ring times, use
website buttons -- see gm5729.blogspot.com for example -- I have never
tried it over wifi, but my phone literally won't do it. Because as soon
as the phone call is initiated it rolls over to the cellular/3/4G
networks. I hope that answers your question.
You can pull up an web page and place all your contacts in GV which
Gmail will also share, but don't dial from GMail or there is an extra
charge, and I think that may be where you are hearing about the wifi part.
You can have GV web page up, dial or text from the website. My carriers
have always charged me whatever their unit of measure is for a phone
call and text/sms message. You can text all night off the web site for
free. Calls will be charged. Basically you dial a number, Google
connects to one of your 6 pre-arranged numbers that you select with all
its features and then connects to the other side. The call will show up
on your web page after is it terminated and will show who, what, how
many minutes, you can record calls and GV will transcribe them for you.
It goes on... I like it.
