You know, I think I was confused because the last thing I read was that handcent can't send txts through your GV number. Is that still true?
To clarify: Kinda sorta, but not really.
If you set it on the GV settings page online to forward texts to your Mobile number, here is the chain of events:
1) Bob texts your GV number
2) GV takes the text, and forwards it to your cell
3) Handcent receives the text as normal, except it is from a different phone number, and it has the persons name if they're in your contact list (i.e. Bob: Where u @?)
4) If you respond using Handcent, it will send it to GV, which will then forward it to the person
Now, when you use it this way, everyone that sends you a text will show up in your texts as a DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER. All mine come through with a 972 area code. If you add that number to your contact for that person, you can then send the text messages to that number, and they'll get it, seeing only your GV number.
If, on the other hand, you have it set to not forward text messages, when Bob sends the text, it doesn't get forwarded to Handcent, you need to use the Google Voice app to send/receive messages.
Now, with that being said, has anyone had any issues using the GV app to make outgoing phone calls via the access number lately? For the last few days, maybe 10% of all my calls go through using it
