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.

Download the Google Voice Application to your Device from m.google.com/voice

Louis,

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

Cheers,

Ian

Posted by 312 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

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.

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 syb0rg Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

REJOICE!!! Hallelujah!!

my prayers have been answered.. i've been waiting for this since i got grand central.. YAY!! thank you!!

Posted by autoprime Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 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.

Posted by timbo1083 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

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

Posted by j916 Monday, Jul 20, 2009 937 days ago

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

Posted by webchetan Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 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 942 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 942 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 942 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 942 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 942 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 942 days ago

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

Posted by jforce Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

No love for Canada yet and I still got an invite.

Posted by talltubatom Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

Can I have yours?

Posted by LouisCameron Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

hope the people that got them, enjoy them!!

Posted by Osteele Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

US only. Not surprised!

Posted by robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

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 942 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 942 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 942 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 942 days ago

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

Posted by khara Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

Why cant I access this ? Im getting an error when I click the link as if it doesnt exist ??? did google pull it off or something ??

Posted by drose0 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

I'm having the same problem.

Posted by drose0 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

I retract my previous statement. I can get to it now.

Posted by ckesten Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

Can someone please send me an invite to craigkesten[AT]gmail[.COM]

I'll give you $5!!!

thanks

Posted by graymulligan Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

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 942 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 robrowald Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

go here to sign up to get invited.

Got it installed, logged in, and now I'm in love.

Posted by whitenagla Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

I need an invite if anyone has one to share! Thanks in advance!

Posted by cellinator Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 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 942 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...

Posted by fightoffyourdemons Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

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

Posted by Enderend Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 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 811 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

regards,

Luigi

Posted by khara Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

I want an invite...I will pay for it ! SOMEONE HELP ME !!!!! I feel like a kid thats going to cry :(

Posted by uclugLee Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 days ago

This looks very promising.

Posted by eMale714 Wednesday, Jul 15, 2009 942 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.
