Description

FREE Unofficial Google Voice client for the Palm Pre. It provides an easy way to call your contacts or send them text messages from your Google Voice number instead of your cell number. You can also view your Google Voice history and make account changes all within the application.

This version is different from the app catalog version as it allows universal search.

Features:

  • Dial any contact on your Pre using Google Voice as the outgoing number
  • Send SMS messages through Google Voice
  • View Google Voice call/text/voicemail history
  • Access the Google Voice mobile site from within the app
  • Full Google Voice on your Pre
  • Background history updates
  • Caller info for any contact on your Pre
  • Ability to add a phone number to your Pre Contacts
  • Reload history list by shaking your phone
  • Configurable dial tone
  • Emulates the native dialer as close as possible
  • Shake to clear dialer and SMS
  • Universal Pre contact search on dialer and SMS (Just start typing a name and results will appear)
  • Dial voicemail by holding down 1 on the dialpad
  • Flick left and right on history to navigate
  • Favorites list for quick dial and SMS

Changelog

-Modified the labels in history once again to match up with the live Google Voice site
There is now an Inbox, SMS, Voicemail, and All The All has all history up to 50 items, but it includes archive items, just like All on the Google Voice site.
