This voice application gives Google less access to your data
#GoogleVoice
Question for my #Blind friends tonight who have a #GoogleVoice phone number. When in the Google Voice app for #iOS when using #VoiceOver how do you keep the keypad active long enough to enter the full number without it trying to give you suggestions? So far I'm not a fan of this app.
@krutor @frumble leider halt nur #Downgrades was Features angeht:
- werkzeugfrei tauschbarer #Akku
- 3,5mm #Klinkenbuchse
- echtes #DualSIM (#eSIM verlötet ist shice! Ich nutze eSIM allenfalls als #SIM-Karte weil #Endgerätefreiheit…)
- #microSD-Slot
- #USBc
- keine #Bloatware werksseitig bzw. durch den Hersteller (insbesondere kein #Microsoft-Müll)
- keine #Govware & #Spyware alla #Gemini & #GoogleVoice!
- #idealerweise #degoogled und mit @fdroidorg
- guter #Aftermarket-#Firmware - #Support
- #unlocked #Bootlader & #Rootable!
I 2nd using #GoogleVoice.
I use it as a 2nd phone # for medical offices that insist on calling but won't or can't text me.
I also use itfor sites that require me to give them a phone # to use their site when I fon't want to give them my primary phone # but sine site recognize & rehect it as a virtual #, in which case I jtst don't use the site
You get a phone # that you can use to receive calls & send/receive texts via any device.
It also transcribes voice messages so that I don't have to answer any calls or listen to voicemail.

@nuintari F-Droid has been great. After moving from #gmail to #mailbox_org I switched my mobile mail app to #K9 and have been using the #Fossify apps. While they may not have the most features, they are minimal and that's appreciated.
I still have some work to do in #deGoogling. #Nextcloud or another solution as well as finding a #googlevoice alternative.
#fdroid has been overall a positive experience. It reminds me of #googleplay from circa 2011.
Getting REEEEEEEALLY sick and fucking tired of sites not accepting my #GoogleVoice phone number for authentication. It might actually be even worse when they accept it for #2FA after rejecting it for verifying my account.
"We don't accept #VOIP numbers: they're not secure" …but you're fine with SMS-based 2FA instead of offering me #TOTP (or, you know, using my device's #biometric capabilities)??
#security
#Annoyances
Companies and sites that only accept phone numbers from major mobile carriers or not allow the use of internet/VoIP numbers should have some kind of guarantee in writing with monetary penealties to victims of security breaches.
I want to be able to use my #googlevoice number to register a #microcenter account but it won't allow it telling me I need to register a mobile number from a major U.S. carrier.
I don't need their spam emails or faux discounts that badly and I'll use other outlets or platforms.
Any experience with Cell2Jack? Keen to hear if this might work for older relatives.

The Verge: Google dusts off Google Voice and adds three-way calling. “Google is giving its Google Voice app some much-needed love after leaving it practically untouched for a long time. The company is adding a refreshed in-call interface with key call control buttons lined up in a row, plus the ability to start a three-way conference call.”

📱 Google Voice just added something you’ll actually use — 3-way calling 🔁📞
The newest update brings:
🎨 A revamped call UI inspired by Google Meet
➕ One-tap Add & Merge buttons for seamless 3-way calls
🕒 Live hold indicators and smarter call switching
🚀 Rolling out now to Google Workspace Voice and SIP Link users
This closes one of the most-requested gaps in Google Voice — and signals it’s still evolving in the enterprise VoIP space.
