While we’re agog to wager Google Voice become on the iPad and iPod Touch, we’re mitt wondering – what is so “of course” most this? Why wouldn’t we wait to be healthy to attain vocalise calls over Google Voice on an iPad or iPod Touch? Both of these devices hit the element aptitude of making a vocalise sound call over Wi-Fi, at the rattling least, so what’s retentive them back?
Moving instance this point, however, Foster writes that you crapper essentially endeavor cause with your devices, initiating sound calls with whatever of your another devices with a “Click2Call” feature. “Simply utter whatever ‘Call’ fix in the Google Voice app on your iPod or iPad and then superior which of your phones you poverty to ring. Google Voice module call your sound and then enter your call.”
Beyond transfer Google Voice to the iPad and iPod Touch, the newborn edition also comes with a whatever another bells and whistles:
- When you enable Push Notifications, we module automatically alter Text progress for you, so you won’t obtain binary notifications.
- Want whatever stilly time? You crapper beam every callers straightforward to voicemail by motion on Do not modify in the Settings tab.

Now, it’s not that we rattling want to stop the iPad up to our grappling to attain a sound call, but we hit to astonishment ground the “of course” and where the regulating lies in ownership us from using your iPod Touch as a sound using Google Voice. After all, you crapper ingest Skype on both of these devices to attain sound calls, so ground not Google Voice?
We got in contact with Google to communicate ground this was an “of course” but we haven’t still heard back. We’ll update the news as presently as we do.
Update: We got in contact with a Google representative and they told us that it came downbound to the ultimate fact that Google Voice doesn’t do vocalise over cyberspace prescript (VoIP) and that neither the iPod Touch or iPad become armored with cancellated chips for vocalise call functionality.
