Google Hangouts w/Voice (Was Google Voice)

I've also not been offered the updated Hangouts app or any merger options. It seems possible that those using Sprint's GV integration are going to have to wait a bit.

 

Also, since we're integrated, there's no benefit to having the new dialer app (aside from VoIP calling) correct?

So I can make/receive calls while only connected to Wi-Fi using the new hangouts/dialer combination?

 

Well, I can confirm that I was able to make and receive calls from my nexus 7 to a landline.

 

When I call my number, it rings both my tablet and phone.

 

I am *not* able to send SMS from hangouts on my n7, but I am (still) able to send SMS via google voice app.

Just my opinion, but personally, I am not really happy about Google Voice being folded into Hangouts. While the Google Voice app is far from perfect, I personally don't really like having my phone intergrated with a Social app. But, I guess that I will have no choice.

Hangouts is a poorly chosen name.  It sounds too casual, unprofessional.  If Hangouts is going to be the central location for text messaging (via data or SMS), voicemail, chat, VoIP, and video calling, then Google should rebrand back to Grand Central -- the service that originally became Google Voice.

I agree, I was thinking 'communicator' or something along those lines, but I love the grand central idea.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
