After Apple banned Google Voice from the AppStore causing much controversy as it was believed AT&T influenced Apple’s decision on the matter, the developers have been out to get revenge and what better way to get revenge for being banned on the AppStore than releasing it onto Cydia. And that’s exactly what they did.
As the application wasn’t going to be a free application on the AppStore, it isn’t a surprise that the application was released onto the Cydia store for $1.99.
Description:
GV Mobile brings the power of Google Voice to your iPhone. This is not a VoIP/SIP dialer! **You must already have a Google Voice account.**
If you don’t have an account, see the following web site for information on how to get notified once it’s available: Google Voice invites.
GV Mobile allows users of Google Voice to:
- Dial numbers via the iPhone address book or typing on the keypad
- dial numbers via the iPhone address book or typing on the keypad
- dial from your in-app favorites
- full SMS support (view historic, reply, send new) with landscape keyboard support
- retrieve and delete recent call history
- playback and delete voicemails
- view voicemail transcriptions
- take calls from your different call forwarding phones (phone other than your iPhone)
- enable or disable the phones that Google Voice forwards calls to
- add, edit, or delete phones that Google Voice forwards call to
- offline dial support – no connection to the internet? No problem!
- enable or disable do not disturb
- change call screening and call presentation settings
- toggle between multiple accounts with ease!
- variety of data sync methods
How does GV Mobile work?
GV Mobile initiates a secure connection with Google Voice and sends a command to do various tasks(call, send sms, etc). GV Mobile communicates only with Google Voice, no one else.
Please note that GV Mobile relies heavily on the use of an internet connection (3G, EDGE, Wifi, etc).
If your internet connection is shady a best, this app may not function properly. By using GV Mobile, you understand that I am not liable for data charges you may incur.
Any drastic changes on Google’s end may make GV Mobile inoperable. With that said, I plan on fully supporting this app to ensure it functions if changes occur.
