G5 and Google Voice - Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers

For those of us that use Google voice, has anyone gotten it to work on this phone, i can't dial the *28 number to link it to my Google voice number, or get the integration to work either...

Google Voice integration is fine on mine. I didn't have to change anything coming from the Nexus 6.

Neither can I. I cant disable the visual voicemail app either.

I had a nexus 5 and upgraded to the LG G5, it did not break my google voice at all. I have my sprint number ported to google voice, so they are the same number.
I do all of my modifications and changes at voice.google.com from my computer, ive had the best luck that way

you have to go into wifi calling settings and disable wifi calling (phone may reboot). then you can set up GV and after that reenable it.
drove me nuts for several days before I figured out GV and wifi calling dont get along but worjs fine if you enable wifi calling AFTER setting up GV.
you'll see page in the wifi calling settings....at the very bottom there's a link to disable wifi calling.

there are more call forward on unanswered codes for sprint, Some of my lines allow *28, while others *73 works

How do I setup my Sprint Phone Connect so that my calls forward to another number?
Call Forwarding is a function of the Sprint Network. (For immediate call forwarding, calls will incur a per minute rate). To setup Call Forwarding, first pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *73. To disable this feature, dial *730.
Busy Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *74 and then the number you want to forward the call to. To disable this feature, dial *740.
Busy or No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *28 and then the number you want to forward calls to. To disable this feature, dial *38.
Immediate Call Forwarding (Not included in the Sprint Phone Connect plan, $0.20 per minute rate), dial *72 and then the number you want to forward your calls to. To disable this feature, dial *720.

Google voice works fine for me

Well thanks for the input, it did allow me to make the forwarding work with the *73, but everything's i use *28, i get a message staying the feature code is not available, not really sure if *73, and *28 are the same, but for now it seems to work...

*73 is NOT free. You will get charged for every call that goes to voice mail...I got the bill to prove it.
You need to disable wifi calling and then *28 will work. After setting your new voice mail number (for GV) you can re enable wifi calling. When I first tried to set up GV with *28 it didn't work....said something about an invalid feature. After disabling wifi calling *28 worked.

I've tried this, i cannot dial *28 at all, with wifi calling disabled it says the feature function is not available, and the same when wifi calling is on except it says can not make this call with wifi calling...

You probably turned it off, you didn't disable it. You have to disable at at the phone service provider level, not on your phone.
try this:
system settings -> wifi calling -> update registered location
scroll down to the very bottom and you will see a link that said "disable wifi calling". select that.
after a few moments your phone will do a PRL update and may reboot. after that, install the GV app.
there's different ways to set it up depending on how much GV integration you want. I just wanted voice mail so this is what I did:
open the GV app.
it will ask you if you want to do setup or "skip". select "skip".
It will then log into your google account and access GV. then it will ask you again if you want to set up (I think it also asks if you want to use GV for voice calls, I selected "no") again, select "skip". you will not get a notice that you need to dial *28[GV number] to set up VM forwarding. Do it - it should work now.
if it still doesn't work call Sprint customer service and ask them to disable wifi calling. The operator I spoke to was aware of the GV issue and knew immediately what i wanted.
After you get *28[GV number] working you'll get a triple dial tone and hang up instead of that "feature set unavailable" message. (there may be another PRL autoupdate...I can't remember) now you can go back to wifi calling and enable it.
I have two phones linked to the same GV account an LG G3 and an LG G5. both ring when I get a call. Both forward voice mails to the GV account when someone calls the phones and leaves a VM. Both work on wifi calling and I've successfully used wifi calling from hotels in other countries and got voice mails (and even texts to the GV number) through GV. The only odd thing is that MMS messaging to GV doesn't seem to work so I get texts, but no pictures.

Thank you for the advice, and you are correct at least with part of this, I wasn't disabling wifi calling service as you stated, just turning it off, however after following the method you described, i still received the "feature code you dialed..." when using *28... So i looked into it, and found that the only one that sprint charges for is *72; *28, *73, *74 are all valid forwarding options at no charge for standard plans. I am still only able to get *73 to work, and i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with "my" wifi calling, as i still have it disabled now, and it has been disabled now for about 4 days, but ymmv... I am currently able to use google voice, so i guess its working, and the only difference between *28, and *73 is *28 forwards busy, or unanswered calls, while *73 only forwards unanswered calls, saying that, i'm pretty sure that my phone is actually very rarely busy (as i have someone on hold and i'm on the other line), and receive another phone call... But for me i guess *73 is just gonna have to do for now...

Call yourself from another line and let it go to voicemail. See if you're being charged. In my case I saw a $0.20 charge every time a call went to voice mail. I saw that same article when I was searching for an answer (which is why I started messing around with *73 and *72). I ended up calling Sprint Customer Service and asking them to disable wifi calling for me. After I got GV set up with *23 I was able to reenable it myself from my phone. *73 only goes to voicemail if you let it ring. If your line is busy it will still go to your Sprint voice mail unless you use *72 as well.
By the time I got it figured out I was just about ready to shoot the phone.

You were using *72. *72 forwards all calls, regardless of status.
*73 + *74 are the same as *28, and all three are free. They just forward Busy and Unanswered calls.

please read the post b4 jumping to conclusion.
"No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *73. To disable this feature, dial *730." the sprint site states its Free... if i see charges i will have them get rid of them or cancel me without the ETF for breaking my contract....
the forwarding immediately without ringing your number first is what they charge you for.

It's been a long while since I used GV integration. Does now allow emoji in txt using stock txt app? I know it would strip them long ago.

Google Voice

How many people have sprint setup to forward :
* Busy Call Forwarding (Busy Call Transfer)
* No Answer Call Forwarding (No Reply Forwarding)
* Unreachable Call Forwarding (Phone Off Forwarding)
to your google voice number? Are there any added fee's or complications you've run into? Did you just have to call customer care? I heard it takes twice the amount of rings as normal to hit the google voice mail is this true?
I could see a huge benefit of receiving my voice mails via email and read them during meetings where I cannot answer and return an answer via email.
Thanks!
I've got mine set up that way since they made it free months ago. I still had a touch pro back then.
Works great.
Edit : Google had instructions on how to do it via phone. Press a few buttons.
I'm not going to quote something I'm not 100% sure of. Go to sprints site and search conditional call forwarding. Then look up your plan and see what it says about call forwarding and fees.
I have the simply everything plan so both conditional and unconditional call forwarding are included. I "think" some thing like everything data with mobile to mobile free calling, might have free conditional call forwarding. That's what you're talking about. Go check and make sure though. One of those there's a 20 cents a minute charge, so make sure.
Search a lot on google voice help. Calling someone that has free mobile to mobile, it's considered a landline call and not mobile. That means out would go against their minutes. Like I said, go research it yourself.
I went so far as to change my sprint number and not giver that out to anyone. I only give out my google voice number. The reason behind that is I want to take full advantage off all the features that gv had to offer. If you use your sprint number, you can only use gv for voicemail.
Go read up, that's what I did. Oh, btw, the transcription accuracy of your phones voice to text is noticeably better than google voice's voice to text. I like gv so far. I'm finding out new things it can do just about every day!

I reread your question. Conditional call forwarding is what you are talking about. You don't have to call sprint customer service for that. All you do to connect (after setting up the online end and phone end of settings and program) is *28xxxxxxxxxx from your sprint phone. The x's is your google voice number. To disable conditional call forwarding from your sprint number it's *38 call. Seriously though, you need to do the homework yourself because there's way too much info about it to answer in a forum reply.

I set that up last year on my sprint number, it's nice because even when my phone is off I still get voicemails that might come to my real phone number (I use my gvoice number for everything)
I've got Google Voice as my main number that I hand out to clients and co-workers, and everyone calls me on it. If I have no service, I'll almost always have a WiFi connection, and just have GVoice forward calls to my Sipgate number, which I have tied into Fring.
Free unlimited calls!
Now if only I'd stop using the damned Messaging app and do texting from GVoice instead, and if I could get Sprint's AnyMobile AnyTime to recognize Google Voice access numbers as cellphones...

Wait...
So when I use GV to make/receive a call or text, i can use my "minutes" or get charged differently as the #'s are "landlines" ?
Am I misinterpreting what you said ?

[Q] calling from with google voice uses minutes or uses internet?

I was wondering if calling with google voice number from the evo uses minutes or uses data...
i have the unlimited mobile but only 450 on landlines.
so i wanted to see if its a call forward to a land line that then connects me to the number i am dialing... dont want to go over my 450
uses mins i believe. there is a way if you have any 3 numbers to use gv unlimited
Google Voice uses regular calls, not data, but it can use data.
Mmmkay, how Google Voice works, is that when someone calls your GV number, it just passes along the call to you (forwarding, in other words). If that person is calling your GV number from a cellphone, it'll then be like you're getting a call from a cellphone, and count towards your AnyMobile AnyTime minutes.
When you "call" someone with Google Voice, what happens is that first Google creates a call from them to your phone, and then from them to your destination (like a conference call) and then leaves the call themselves. Think of it as a someone introducing two friends with each other, and then leaving them alone to talk.
Now, if you want to use data to make and receive calls, that's where it gets tricky. You'll need Google Voice, a Sipgate One account, and Sipdroid on your EVO (Don't worry about when Sipdroid tells you to go off and get some account somewhere like PBXes, you can just ignore that). Get GV and Sipgate setup, then add your Sipgate phone number in GV as a phone to ring on incoming calls (set it up as a landline, not cell phone). In Sipgate, remove all forwarding (voicemail) rules so that it'll never redirect a call to Sipgate's voicemail system.
Now, in Sipdroid, we'll add your Sipgate account. Your Authorization Username, password, Server and Domain are all found on your Sipgate settings page (on the right, underneath the buttons to add phones is "SIP Credentials"). Your "Server of Proxy" and Domain are both sipgate.com. "Username or Caller ID" is left empty since it'd just be the same as the Authorization Username. Port 5060, UDP (should be default). Go ahead and tweak your settings (I recommend setting Preferred Call Type to "Phone") and make sure to change Call OIption to include "Use WLAN" and "Use 3G".
So now, when you have a decent data connection, Sipdroid can take incoming calls from Google Voice (which will technically include "outgoing" calls). Unfortunately, you cannot use Sipdroid, or even the Google Voice app to intiate calls. You'll have to use a computer to do that or fiddle around with your browser to be in Desktop mode, and go to the Google Voice webpage.
Hope that's not too confusing...

[Q] Going to Mexico, option for calls?

I plan to travel to Mexico in a few weeks for a much needed escape from these bitter cold Wisconsin winters.
I plan to stop into Sprint to see what options I'd have for using my phone while there. Though I'm still worried as I've heard horror stories of people following what carriers tell them and still racking up huge call or data charges.
Questions:
I'm using a Gingerbread rom, would SIP be an option?
Would making calls through Google voice make any difference?
My hope is, if I have access to wifi I will be able to make VOIP calls or something of the sort.
Google voice will not save you anything. SIP internet calling will. Setup with sipgate or something similar. But internet calling will ONLY help you if you are on a wifi network. If you are data roaming a cell tower, you will get screwed.

What part of Mexico? I used VOIP on wifi at the resort in Cozumel, almost every hotel there has wifi.
first week of having my evo i went to cancun. hand full of text just about everyday, about 3-4 calls on the last couple of days there, and a bunch of playing around on the web (new phone, had to play with it) netted me about $45 of international fees.
Just buy a international plan for that month so you wont get charge that's much safer and easier instead of having those high bills people get
if you have an old GSM phone just unlock it and use telcel over there, its definitely the cheapest option. text messages are only a peso, even when sending to the U.S.
What about using roam control?
Cheapest method:
1) Put phone into Airplane mode. DO NOT TURN THIS OFF UNTIL YOU GET BACK. If you restart the phone and it's no longer in Airplane mode, PUT IT BACK INTO AIRPLANE MODE.
2) Get Google Voice. Set it up on your phone and all that.
3) Sign up for Sipgate One. It's free and has unlimited incoming calls.
4) Add your Sipgate SIP credentials as a SIP account in Gingerbread (the SIP credentials are to the right on the settings page on sipgate.com). Turn on "Receive calls".
5) Add both your cellular and Sipgate numbers to Google Voice. Have Sipgate be a home number. You should receive the call from Google Voice just fine via Sipgate.
6) Set your Sipgate number to ring, and your cell number not to ring in Google Voice. Give people your GV number and instruct them to call you.
7) In Sipgate, remove all of the forwarding options. You do not want Sipgate taking your voicemail for you, of course. Go to Sipgate.com > Settings > Voicemail, Call Forwarding & Hunting, and just delete everything in the list.
8) Try it out! Call your GV number from home or a friend's cellphone. You should get the call via Sipgate. Any texts you send/receive via GV will also be free.
Now, here's the caveat: To make calls, you need to sign onto a computer, go to the GV website, click the "call" button in the upper-left corner, and select your Sipgate number to call with, and then punch in the phone number you want to call. If you've added and sync'd up your Google account on your phone, all of your contacts will be in there already, so you can just type in a few letters/numbers of their name/number and it will auto-fill, kinda like Google Instant.
Enjoy!
good luck going to Mexico that drug war and violence is crazy right now I went in the summer and heard gun fire and **** all over that place hopefully your flying cause if your not....... be safe bro

Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. The only part I couldn't figure out was step 6) Set your Sipgate number to ring, and your cell number not to ring in Google Voice. I couldn't find where to do this.
i just went to mexico a few weeks ago, and stayed on airplane mode (with wifi on) the whole time. if you are going to a tourist trap, you should be fine on the wifi side. if you like going to the more authenitc, poorer touns like me, you might be in trouble.

Head over to the Google Voice website, click Settings>Voice Settings, select the Phone tab, un-check your cellphone in the list, and check your Sipgate number. Direct link (may or may not work): https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones
Works great, issue is only sipgate to sipgate calls are free and unlimited. You get 60 minutes a month and I'm down to 52 already just from testing.
I could always add minutes, the rate seems reasonable enough. Mainly I just need it for important calls, I don't plan to do much chit-chatting in Mexico anyway.
And for those who asked, I'm going to Huatulco, just south of Oaxaca. The resort I'm staying at has wifi.

Incorrect. Inbound calls to your Sipgate number are free. If your minutes are decreasing from inbound calls, and you have a Sipgate One account, email them and cite this tweet:

The best option I've found for calling back to the states from foreign countries is to use my laptop and take advantage of the free calling from Gmail. Calls are very clear and all calls to the US are free.

[Q] Forwarding calls to SIP account

So I've been trying to get to where I can turn on airplane mode, then flip WiFi on and still be able to receive calls. I'm not using T-Mobile (but have the M919), so the WiFi calling feature doesn't apply. I'm using SipDroid + Google Voice with a PBXes.org account. My problem is that when people call my cell number (which is forwarded to my GV number) with my mobile service turned off they get redirected to my Google Voicemail. If, on the other hand, someone calls my GV number, my phone rings and I can answer it with SipDroid; making outgoing calls via SipDroid also work flawlessly. I have unanswered and unreachable call forwarding activated to forward calls to my GV number but it's just not working as I expect it to. Any advice?

I used Groove IP for this and the way to get it to work correctly was, I believe, to make sure that GV's settings are forwarding calls on to Google Chat. It sounds like you already have that set, since you can get direct calls to your GV number, but you might want to make sure all the settings are correct on the GV side.

Google Voice ??

Is it possible to get Google Voice setup to handle voicemail? I've spent a while playing around and searching, but can't seem to get this working. I am on the Verizon version, but not sure if that makes a difference.
I can receive calls from someone dialing my GV number, and if they have called that number and leave a voicemail, they get my GV greeting and I get the vm/notification in the Hangouts app, as I expect. However, if someone calls my carrier number and leaves a vm, I cannot get this to go to my GV at all.
I don't remember having to do much of anything to get this set up on my LG G4. Am I missing something easy here?

I haven't had to do this for quite a while, but this is what I used to do to get Google Voice working on my Verizon phone.
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can
make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number] This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer
calls to your Google Voice number*when your Verizon phone is busy or unanswered after 3 to 6
rings.
*90[Your Google Voice number] This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that
would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.
*92[Your Google Voice number] This turns on No Answer Transfer, which transfers all calls
unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.
To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]
To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]
**** if calls not ringing to phone, uninstall Google voice, Deactivate all, install and setup Google
voice, setup
forwarding again, test calling phone to make sure it rings and Google voicemail works. ***

Thank you, Brokenbit!
*71+GV number did the trick.
I first set all 3 forwardings, and things acted weird. It would forward out to my GV greeting but then cut out part way through. I disabled all and then only enabled using the *71+GV and things are working correctly.
