I set up a google voice account today on my computer, which called my Inc. I set up my outgoing message, tried a test call and both my computer and phone received a message via Handcent and Gmail with the typed transcript (the gmail included the voice call to play back). Excellent, though I coukd do without it coming on Handcent if I'm already getting it via gmail.
Some questions:
1) What is the point of the google voice app on the android (as opposed to the way I set it up) if the emails come int to my google email with the transcript and voice recording already?
2) Is there something additional that the google voice app from the market does that I'm not currently getting?
3) I can't figure out how I can make calls without using my minutes. Can someone please explain to me how I go about setting that up? In particular, I'm going to Japan in June and want to be able to make calls back to the US inexpensively or for free.
4) How can I stop receiving the google voice messages in Handcent?
Thanks a lot!
