I was upset about not being able to use F & F with Verizon, but then installed the GVMyNumber and now have no issues. Still get free calls with Verizon.

So I guess we need to uninstall the leaked version before installing this one right?

GV has a widget already that allows you to decide, by pressing it, what phone to use to place calls – your actual cell # or GV #.

It keeps telling me it cannot verify my phone #…it did that with the leaked version I tried also…any thoughts?

I had to get on my PC and set mine up through Google.com/voice.

Well, using it for texting from a cell phone makes tons of sense… you can drop your text plan completely because GV texts are free. I do all of my texting through GV and get unlimited texting with no text plan.

Those of you worried about your Friends and Family plan, why don't you just use GVMyNumber, this app lets you decide when to use Google voice or not.
What it does is takes care of all the dialing prefixes for you...it dials your Google Voice Number, which then takes you to the VR system, it then initiates a series of pauses and numbers, then it dials the number you want to call. All in all it adds a few more seconds to dialing the call, but it keeps the Friends and Family intact.
I.E. here is what happens...I pick a number in my contacts...a prompt asks me if I want to use Google Voice to make this call or not (this is the way I have it set up), when I choose Google Voice it dials...

555-555-5555 the sexy Google Lady welcomes me to Google Voice menu...phone then initiates pauses, picks option 2 to make a Google Voice call, then informs me this is a free call, then dials the number. Sequence is below:
555-555-5555,,2,,,,444-444-4444

This works on old Google Voice and New Google Voice, in my Friends and Family List of numbers I just have my Google Voice number.

It's not hard people...here is a link to it...

I can name at least one, though it is situational – completely free calls to Canada, and not at that crappy skype quality.

Look for version 0.3.4 on the web. That's what I use so I can still make unlimited calls. I'll sacrifice not having widgets for unlimited calls.
