quick question from someone getting ready to dump the iphone for an incredible..
what advantage does using your google voice account on this phone do for you? I mean, does it NOT use verizon minutes when you use google voice?
Is there any other advantage to using GV on this phone over the native Verizon apps?
thanks so much for your help!

3 Advantages:
3. GV has visual voicemail. Save yourself the extra monthly fee.
so, if you open up the GV app, that I assume we can d/l, and you are on a wifi connection, turning off 3G, and make a phone call, you will still be using Verizon minutes????
doesnt make sense...unless, you cant make an out going call at all with GV with 3G turned off..
can you use the "wifi" connection on your phone to access Google voice, or will it only work with 3G?
do you make your google voice number one of your "friends and family" numbers, or do you use the "forwarding" number that Google Voice routes all calls through as that number?
I could see that working with any outgoing calls, but, not sure how that would work with incoming calls..
No, again, Google Voice is not a VOIP provider. You have to make a phone call to access Google Voice.
You get a new phone number from Google Voice, that number goes on your Family & Friends list. As for incoming calls, you would give out your Google Voice number to your friends, not your cell phone number.
what did you pay for an invite on ebay?
I think that kinda sux when people sell something they got for free...
So i bought a GV invite off eBay, but after reading this thread and that Tips & Tricks link, I'm not exactly sure if i should use my mobile number or sign up for a GV number. I don't have a "friends and family" plan, so I wouldn't be able to dedicate a GV number for unlimited calling. Is it even worth using GV without taking advantage of GV number? That link makes it seem like it isn't...
