Sprint & Google Voice Integration

[MacinJosh]

Does anyone have Google Voice integrated with their Sprint Account? And if so, does it lower your total minute usage?

[Duffman]

It should have no effect on your usage. Or am I misunderstanding your question?

I have it integrated but I only use it for Voice mails and to send texts.

 

My bill each month shows I sent zero texts.

Hmm. Can it reduce the number of voice minutes used on the sprint phone directly?

It uses the minutes on your phone just as if it was not integrated.

I have it integrated but I've only done so for about 2 weeks. As far as I can tell, it uses minutes like normally. I know you can make calls over WiFi but I haven't investigated that yet.

I have some trouble with a late ring when I get a phone call. It'll ring 1 1/2 times and then go to voicemail. I've asked the caller how much it rang on their end and they'll say 4 or 5 times before sending to voicemail. Occasionally, a call will go straight to voice mail without a ring. My wife has the same occasional issues. We've checked Gvoice settings on phone and web a couple times and can't see why were missing calls like this. I occassionally miss text messages, but I've had this problem with or without Gvoice.
