Just made my first Google Voice overseas call via Wi-Fi on my DROID. Wow, I'm impressed. Voice quality was amazing, couldn't tell the difference between that and a regular phone call. Try it.

2009-oct: "Google says it has signed contracts with a number of "international service providers for inputs to Google Voice." It goes on to say that "none of the contracted services have yet" been launched." http://www.businessweek.com/technol...

Ummm I used the Google Voice app. You can download it from the Android Market, you'll need a Voice account with credit in it to make the call. On Android 2.* you can tell Google Voice to automatically handle international calls. Which means once you have a data connection all you have to do is hit "Send" and the rest is handled by the Voice app.

Yeah the "data connection" I mentioned above was Wi-Fi

Another Google Voice invite holder who cannot use it and is not willing to move to US. I'll be wait ing for Google to finish those deals by relying on other solutions.

Uh... since when did GV start routing voice calls over WiFi? Afaik it still places a PSTN call over the voice channel. They haven't integrated Gizmo5 *that* fast.

Ummm ... they've supported outbound calling from the day I joined. Once you download the GV app you can tell it to handle all outgoing international calls.
- LANjackal
the outgoing call is made to your local GV number, and then the connection is routed to the call recipient. would that still work if the SIM card were removed and only Wifi is available?
