Official Google Voice Application for BlackBerry Launched Today via Googles Mobile Site!

Official Google Voice App Launched Today!

Over the past week or so many of you have gotten your Google Voice invites and activated them joyfully. Today though, Google brought us even more love by officially launching their own native Google Voice application for BlackBerry devices. Until now, there were a few options to use with the service such as GVDialer, but this comes from Google itself so it is at the very least a must check out to see how it compares to GVDialer.

Not sure what Google Voice is? Well Google was kind of enough to set up a huge feature page for use all with some great videos that explain the services in detail. Be sure to check it out (drop your feedback in the comments) and if you haven't already-- sign up for a Google Voice invite today as they are going fast.

Anyone got a invite they want to send me?

 
 
Posted by LouisCameron Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Sent them out.

Louis,

Do you have another invite you would be willing to throw my way?

Cheers,

Ian

Hey, would you mind sending me one as well? Thanks so much!

Please send me an invite for google voice.. PPLLLEEEEEAASSSSEE!!!

You can find them on assetize.com sometimes for about $50.

I signed up to get an invite about three weeks ago when it was relaunched. Have yet to see one.

 
 
Posted by lembowski Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I wish Voice was like Gmail with the 100 invites. I've had this since it was Grand Central, I went in and purchased a great number that is easy to remember. I've had friends that have been waiting for 3 or 4 weeks for their invite.

So how does this work.. if i forward calls to my Tmo 8900 will i be charged by tmo.... what is the cost of using GV?

Posted by autoprime Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

haha... good.

it was insane that people were paying $10 for GVDialer. Paying for a small app that uses a FREE service was stupid. everyones out to make a buck...

thanks google for stepping in early and putting and end to this.

wow send me an invite please lol. does it work with storm?

I got my invite this weekend and I signed up when this posted. Pretty cool stuff.

 
 
Posted by webchetan Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Its works awesome. And plus SMS is free :) LOL btw if I have have 2 #'s (Home and Mobile) under my Google Voice forward functionality, if someone calls my GVoice # which phone will ring? Home? or Mobile?

Thanks

 
 
Posted by syb0rg Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

They will both ring. i have my work number and my cell tied to my GV number, and they both ring. Pick one of the two up and the other stops ringing....

 
 
Posted by serpico Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I don't think this works in Canada because I checked a few weeks ago to sign up and there were no local numbers.

 
 
Posted by mbk_2k Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

yeah ur right

i just picked a memphis, TN number. i only use it for the occasional long distance call :)

 
 
Posted by robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

GVdialer has a feature that will allow you to set it as teh default call handler. If this had that feature it would be awesome

 
 
Posted by Prey521 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

that would be great if they update this to be able to become the default handler. Also, the Address Book feature in the app doesn't show your GV # on the receiving ends phone...it shows your Cell's #. Weird...

 
 
Posted by Nate1861 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

You can set up both numbers to ring, or just one of them. Depending on who calls.

the antenna symbol is upside down in the GV app?
Is anyone else having the issue where it won't refresh or load your history?

 
 
Posted by LouisCameron Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Hahaha!! Noticed that too.

And yes, having trouble getting the messages to load but I am in a concrete jungle right now. Plus, they're probably getting slammed since it was just release about an hour ago.

 
 
Posted by buzzdar Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

i do not like this app it dials an access number not your google voice number. that really sucks. if i use it i cant take advantage of the free calling using my favs

 
 
Posted by robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I noticed that too. Haven't noticed if it always calls teh same number, if so I will make that one of my favs

 
 
Posted by superm1 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

been the same number for me for 5 calls. Hope someone figures out soon whether it always stays the same...

I actually had an invite a while back for this, and gave it away because there wasn't a blackberry app for it. Anyone have one laying around?

 
 
Posted by kyrmia Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I was so exited when I got the GV invitation then the OS 5.0 Ghost stroke again'GVDialer doesn't support OS 5.0' I contacted GVDialer support and they confirmed it. I found another app. 'Easy Dial' which works with OS 5.0 but doesn't support SMS part, that's worthless for $9.99

It took me only a few Secs to install the 'Official Google GV App' and it works like a charm.............

Free at last..

Posted by cellinator Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Now I can send text messages without getting charged by AT&T. I'm assuming that I can receive them for free as well as long as the sender uses my "Google" number. This is really great! we pay for text messages because my wife wanted to have that ability because some of her friends don't have a Blackberry. So, I can trim about $20 off my bill if this thing works!

Also, I like the other services as well. Good job Google!

 
 
Posted by rlhammon Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

So I signed up a long time ago on the Google Voice site waiting and waiting, and now it's invite only but there's no love for those of us that have been hounding Google for months?

I don't get it...

i wish i had an invite..this would save me big time. :(

 
 
Posted by Enderend Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I officially love this application. It works flawlessly on my Storm 9530. Contextual menu items allow you to SMS or call straight from the address book. Spoofs caller ID to my GV number.

UPDATE: at one point, Compatibility Mode flipped on for the Google Voice App. I had to disable compatibility mode in advanced options, log out of the app, and shut it down before it fully reverted back. Weird bug.

 
 
Posted by Luigi.m Monday, Nov 23, 2009 913 days ago

enderend,

where did you get the app for the storm? when i went to m.google.com/voice it says phone not supported! thanks for your help

Posted by eMale714 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I've made a couple of calls using the GV App and it has used the same access number each time. I did a reverse lookup on the number and it came back as a Nextel Cellphone in Queens, New York.

 
 
Posted by robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Posted by ideal2545 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

wow this app is awesome, doesnt fully integrate like gv dialer, but it works really well and the calls are fast, it doesnt make you dial your own number first. It calls some gateway number and that dials your call and spoofs your number. Awesome! the sms integration is great!

 
 
Posted by ideal2545 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

i just sent myself a txt, it doesnt have any kind of push txt notification yet, at least it seems that way.

 
 
Posted by artod4789 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I downloaded gVoice for my storm today and when it ran the first time after immediately downloading, it worked perfectly on my storm. But when I closed it out and then reopened it later on, it's now in compatibility mode (or whatever that is). I turned that off, but it's still not working right. Why do apps do this?!? Why do they work that one time perfectly and then stop working the next few times?

 
 
Posted by lbsigman Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

As far as I am concerned, there are no invites that can be sent like there is in Gmail as of yet. I don't even remember signing up to get an invite and actually got one last week out of the blue.

Seems to work OK on my Bold. I've had Google Voice since the Grand Central days but never used it much. Guess I'll use it more now.

 
 
Posted by stevako Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Not sure if anyone has figured out a way to use the application in landscape mode rather then portrait. The first text message sent within the app is portrait then when somebody replies it goes into your regular messages folder and you can carry on the converstaion in either portrait or landscape. Other then that not bad for free

 
 
Posted by robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Landscape mode works just fine for me, on a storm.

Posted by ammonsd Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

The most important function for me with the Google App is adding "Call Google Voice" to the contacts menu so I can pick and choice who I call via Google Voice. For example, I don't want to use Google Voice to call Verizon mobile users because of the free mobile to mobile minutes, but I do use it for all other calls. As for GVDialer, I have it setup to auto use Google Voice for all international calls. I could also do that with the Google App, but I may forget or I may not realize it is an international call, where is GVDialer has the option to automatically use Google Voice.

"The most important function for me with the Google App is adding "Call Google Voice" to the contacts menu so I can pick and choice who I call via Google Voice."

GVDialer does this as well

I just wish I could make GVapp the default call handler like you can with GVD. You can set GVD to ask you on everycall, only for international or for all calls. I have GVD set to ask me on every call if I want to use GVD or direct dial

People, someone who already has Google Voice CANNOT send invites like Gmail. You must receive an invite from Google directly.

 
 
Posted by mam Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Here's the thing: the app doesn't allow you to access the contacts you have saved to google. Now I can't keep separate those that have the google voice number and those that have my cell (they all need to be in my bb address book for me to be able to look them up). But, if you DON'T add them to your google contacts, then only the number shows up in the call log of the google app.

 
 
Posted by mbrevard Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1044 days ago

I think I understand what you are saying but I am not sure you are right. I use Google Sync which sync my BB contacts with my google contacts. Would that not fix your problem?

 
 
Posted by rrife Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I just tried this on Verizon and got a message saying I cannot complete the call to the GV phone number.

 
 
Posted by ddarvish Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Does anyone else have the problem of the Access number disconectting after like 3 seconds.. i can never complete a call...

 
 
Posted by bangala Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I do and went back to GVD as dialing an access number sucks IMO.
Something i just don't understand is why do google keeps that Call Back feature?! Thought this was an app and that being an app it should let you dial directly using whether wifi or 3G.

AND...Am i missing something here or SMSs are free even internationally? Just sent 2 SMSs and did not get charged at all :)

People can't send invites. You have to request one from Google. Search on Google for the link.

 
 
Posted by mbrevard Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1044 days ago

You are sort of right. GV users do not have invites to hand out but like me I have several Gmail accounts and I requested invites to each one. One account got an invite before my wife got her's. I forwarded it to her and she was able to use it.

Please, Please, Please...Stop asking invites BECAUSE this is not a Gmail-like process :) Only Google will send invites or if you had an account back in the days with GrandCentral.
Just try to register for an invite via the links provided here couples of posts before. Good luck to y'all!

How does the calling part of the application works? is this some kind of VoIP app that uses your data plan? or a call back sevice that uses incomming minutes?

 
 
Posted by greenflames09 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

did anyone else get this problem?

 
 
Posted by stormshadow1 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Not sure what the buzz is about. I see a lot of people do not have the invite so why roll out the app? Is everyone who wants an invite going to get one? Are there enough numbers to register for the masses of people who want this?
My guess is, if you did not get an invite by now....you/we are S.O.L.

 
 
Posted by lbsigman Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I woudln't necessairly say you're S.O.L. per say. Look at Gmail for example, many people got invites and eventually it got opened up to the masses without an invite. I've heard/read that Google will continue to purchase unused numbers.

 
 
Posted by stormshadow1 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

See I think there is the issue. Gmail is different than Vmail. With this app you need to register for numbers. How many are we talking? Millions I would guess. This is why I think it is going to take a while. People here requested invites as far long ago as 4 weeks and no response. I think an email from google detaling why they are not invited yet would be nice. I mean roll out the app knowing a certain % of BB users cant use it. Screw the app and get people the invite first.

 
 
Posted by robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Some people requested invites when it was still GrandCentral 2.5 years ago and they just got their numbers a couple of weeks ago. Google recently bought 1 million numbers (according to a news article i read a while back)and C. Walker (head of GoogleVoice) has said several times via twitter that they are doling out the numbers but it takes time to get everything setup. Sign up, be patient, you will get an invite.

I use it pretty much everyday. I give out my GV number instead of my home or cell number and I can route the calls according to my rules. It is a great tool, especially since it's free.

Doesn't let me call out on my Storm 9530. I dial out and it intializes, tries to connect to a 347 access number, connects, then immediately disconnects and nothing happens. Hope they get this fixed.

If anyone has an invite that is willing to give it away I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Would it be worth it to drop YouMail for this?

I'm pretty stoked that this came out.

However, I am still waiting for my invite! I requested one about 2 months ago!

This is pretty cool and I think will weork well for business apps. Never knew about it but GLAD I do now.

voice is awesome, works great. Blackberry app is smooth and easy to use too.

i've had this since it was grand central and they were allowing you to sign up for free for a limited time. honestly i hardly use it. i've gotten some wrong numbers dialed to it but that's it. now that there is an app for it i think i will be using it more. i did a test by calling my house line and it came up my GV number, very cool!

 
 
Posted by carlsbl Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

Don't kill the messenger here...but if you're all they anxious you can have one today.

 
 
Posted by carlsbl Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

It's cool but clearly in alpha development stage. I am sure they will add more to it.... Now Google Voice, THAT is very sweet!!

 
 
Posted by CatAlex Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I'd signed up for an invite to this too and haven't seen mine come thru.

Anyone willing to spread around some GV free love (sure to bring good Karma!)??

 
 
Posted by mmaginnis Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 1044 days ago

I signed up for an invite this morning, and got it this afternoon. My wife, OTOH, is still waiting for hers. I wonder how they decide who gets one. Totally random?

Also, if someone can explain how to send an invite to another user, I'll be happy to forward one (some? how many does a user get? - I can't find any mention of invites once I'm logged into GV).

This app is beautiful, I just got my google voice invite today and have been messing with it all night at work, its a masterpiece thank God for google!!!

 
 
Posted by chrisnz Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1044 days ago

Got an invite straight away... but again. world fail.

Please note that Google Voice is only available for sign up in the US.

I guess this is worth a shot. Unlock me!

 
 
Posted by vinmontRD Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1044 days ago

Weird that some are signing up and getting instant results. First time I signed up was months ago, and never received invite. Signed up again tonight. We'll see if anything comes in.

This has huge potential. Just wish I could port over one of my existing numbers.... Can't wait to try this out, though.

I just got an invite.... google released this at the perfect time. =]

 
 
Posted by fightoffyourdemons Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1044 days ago

got it after 15 hours after sign up. thank you liberals.

 
 
Posted by charabel Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1044 days ago

I certainly hope they update soon though. It would be very helpful if it gave you a notification for when you got a new text or voicemail

I love Google... just more things I can do with my phones

 
 
Posted by greatcasa Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1043 days ago

Google Voice = I'm in love. I signed up months ago as well using my gmail, but didn't get anything for that request yesterday. However I signed up all my emails yesterday (hotmail and work) and had an invite by the night on hotmail. For those of you trying to get an invite I suggest this route. Texting and US calling work flawlessly so far. Have not tried international yet.

Posted by lbsigman Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1043 days ago

No because invites can't be sent from person to person. Did you read any of the posts in this thread at all? Only Google can send out the invites, so look for the link or Google it and be patient.

 
 
Posted by drpain714 Thursday, Jul 16, 2009 1043 days ago

can i get an invite?

answer: NO

take 2 minutes out of your seemingly negligible lives and read the previous posts

every other one (thanks to ibsigman's patience which I clearly dont seem to have) states THAT YOU CANNOT GET AN INVITE

stop asking

 
 
Posted by gene786 Friday, Jul 17, 2009 1042 days ago

From the NYT: Google is rolling out voice to all who have signed up. After that is done, they will provide invites for their customers who may then forward to their contacts.

 
 
Posted by SandAngel Tuesday, Jul 21, 2009 1038 days ago

I feel kinda guilty. Every time I asked for one I got it within days. I even screwed up one invite and it went into limbo because I typed my email wrong :(. I couldn't get it back :(......so I asked again and one came two days later .

I kow you can't INVITE people but I'm thinking you can just send yours along in a forwarded email to someone. When you go into your invite it gives the option of using the address associated with the invite or using a different one.

Now about the Google Voice app....... I'm not installing it because from what i read it uses data?????. GVDIALER is what I'm trying out and it doesn't use data unless you use the call back feature or SMS feature. Voice calls use NO DATA.

OK NO CRACKS ABOUT BLACKBERRIES should have data because I DO have data. Just that I know not everyone has data.

Someone please chime in and correct me if I am wrong about this as I am DEFINATELY TECHNO CHALLENGED and could be wrong ...LOL

 
 
Posted by thefuzz4 Saturday, Jul 25, 2009 1034 days ago

I think that it uses the data to initiate the call but the actually call is going through some other number it just takes it about 5 seconds to set the call up and then your golden.

 
 
Posted by karier13 Sunday, Jul 26, 2009 1033 days ago

I never signed up for an invite but I got one and signed up. I would like to use it but I don't want to have to use a new number. If I could keep my own phone number I would use it. I am still thinking about it but the new number puts me off of using it.

Anyone have a link to the application? All im can find is a redirect to the mobile site.

 
 
Posted by jnaught Tuesday, Jul 28, 2009 1031 days ago

I'm having the same problem - weird.

 
 
Posted by jnaught Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009 1030 days ago

m.google.com/voice - it worked for me.

 
 
Posted by robhimself Friday, Jul 31, 2009 1028 days ago

Did it prompt you to download or did it just take you to the site?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neiOa38DuqI and still does not work i really need help ASAP

thank to those who can help

 
 
Posted by sgt-d Tuesday, Feb 09, 2010 835 days ago

this blows. still no google voice app for storm or storm2. this is probably what i hate most about google... they push something out but they don't implement changes quick enough for other devices. it's like waiting for the native windows version of google talk to add video. it ain't happenin', probably ever. of the "big hitters" it's the only windows based IM that doesn't include video by default i think.

Im having trouble signing into my account on my Storm 2. The keyborde is not working. Is anyone else having this issue and do you know how to fix it. Thanks

 
 
Posted by totalwackjob Thursday, Jun 17, 2010 708 days ago

I have storm 1 was having issues too. Keep your finger on the screen the whole time without clickng and slide your finger up and down to navigate. You can't click in the field you have to slide up or down to move from field to Field. Kinda pain in the arse

Would this work in the Caribbean?

if your unable to get direct link to app download from storm2, go into your web browser, click options, general options, scroll down and change browser id to Internet explorer, save options, then try going to m.google.com/voice again. It will give download option.
