Maybe I was mistaken, but I thought call recieved and made through google voice was free. My bill is showing every one. So what am I doing wrong, or was I dupped.
Depends on how you have it set up and we don't have details for your particular situation. With the default setup, nothing is free. Google has stated that GV isn't intended for free calls. It's basically a "side effect" if set up in certain ways.
I always recommend verifying your GV setup by checking your usage online.
Mods I know this is an app question, but being I been telling every one that I know, I would like this cleared up.
Actually, free calling with GV has little to do with the GV app itself. And most GV threads I've run across delve into these very issues.
I have never been charged for any incoming calls. The again, I only take calls from domestic numbers. GV charges for international calling.
Are the ones you got billed for international?
He means free as in "doesn't count against peak minutes".
Incoming calls are already free through gv
Only if you set GV caller ID to display your GV number for all inbound calls and your GV number is added to F&F. Personally, I can't stand this. I suppose you can use call presentation in lieu of caller ID but I prefer to just be able to look at the screen and see who is calling. Not to mention that inbound calls from anyone on your F&F list are still free (same for mobile-to-mobile)
if you don't change GV's caller ID setting.
outgoing is not because when you use gv, your phone calls a number to call a number.
Options (assuming your GV number is already added to F&F):
1. Use an app that dials out via your GV number.
2. Modify the phone numbers for all your contacts to dial out via your GV number.
3. Manually dial out via your GV number.
4. Add the access number to F&F.
