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.
