Google voice question

[Deleted]

I've been using the google phone number and have figured it out somewhat, LOL but I have 2 questions.

1. How do you (or can you) dial out from your google # so that that # comes up on caller id rather than your actual private #?
(I've been blocking my # when I call the guys back but would rather have that # come up rather than blocked)

2. Can you receive and send texts from it? If so, how? I've been told that I was sent texts but never received them.

I watched some of the youtube videos on how to but I'm still..... for the above.

How awesome that it converts the vmail to an email/text (and funny at how it translates sometimes).

TYIA!!! ;D

You can download the app and it will ask you before you make a call whether to use Voice or not. If you do, the Voice number shows up. You can get texts through the app and reply too. I love it.

I believe you have to pay to make outgoing calls, incoming calls and all texts are free. You can do everything thru the app.

Cool, I figured out how to text through it. I did have to download the app so thank you, strongside! Didn't realize that I didn't have it already since I was already receiving the vmails in my email. Once I did it, a bunch of texts showed up in my email from OKcupid guys. Oops!

I texted my brother and a guy friend playing jokes on them since it comes from a random #. Hehe, I'm so bad! I sent them sextexts and they were like "HUH?! who IS this?" I am so evil.....bwahahahaha <evil laugh> But, they confirmed that it worked and now my super secret # is outed to them.

I did select when setting up the app to have it ask me when making a phone call so I will try that out tomorrow.

Technology is so awesome!

Thank you!

Haha that's awesome.

The best part? You can delete the number if someone gives you the creeps. Win win!

I use it with my STBXH so I have everything online and can send his batshit crazy text messages to my lawyer, easy peasy!

I never thought of pranking my friends though. So doing that.
