CHAPTER 7: Making Phone Calls

Placing Calls With Google Voice
The nice thing about using Google Voice is that it is seamlessly integrated into your
DROID phone and voicemail systems.
To place a call, all you need to do is
launch the Phone app; and then call a
Recent, Favorite, or other contact as you
would normally. If you selected for all calls
to be placed with Google Voice as shown
above, then the call will automatically be
placed using Google Voice.
The caller ID displayed on the phone of the person you are calling will show your
Google Voice number, not the number of your DROID. That way, the person will call you
back on your Google Voice number. This also means that you can use the enhanced
voicemail services of Google Voice.
Retrieving Google Voice Voicemails
You might think you should be able to tap the
regular Voicemail icon next to the Green phone
icon in your dialpad to retrieve your voicemail
messages. However, this does not work. Instead,
you need to tap the Voice app to see all your
Google Voice voicemail messages.
NOTE: You can also retrieve Google Voice
voicemails from any desktop computer browser.
You can tap any message in the list to view the
entire transcript and play the voice message.
When viewing an individual message, you can
press the Menu button to accomplish the
following tasks:
Call the person back.
Text that person.
View contact details (if that person is in
your address book).
Add a Star or press More to Delete the
message.
