Re: Connecting to Google Voice Via SIP
GoogleVoiceNumber@216.239.37.15:5061 also works with IPKALL and VOIP.MS. I Just tried. |

My ATA (old Sunrocket Gizmo) registers with mysipswitch.com. I added an extension to mysipswitch dialplan:
exten = 100,1,Switch(myGVnumber@216.239.37.13:5061);
This gets me to my GV number but as an unknown call. I can enter * and then my pin to access vm and place calls. |

I entered my SIP URI as 1 of my forwarded numbers to my Google Voice settings page. It accepted and saved the number, but did not work. I then tried every name option and found that if I selected "Gizmo" from the drop down, it worked.
Enter "sip:destination#@host.domain.com" into the number space and select "Gizmo" from the drop down. It will not accept your Google Voice number as a destination. It rings Asterisk instantly. |

| Maybe I'm not understanding you, cbrain. When I try to add a SIP address in the "Phones" tab of Settings, it won't take it. It says, "International numbers are not supported as forwarding phones." Interestingly, when I tried to add, literally, "sip:destination#@host.domain.com," it gave me a different error message ("Invalid phone number").
I wonder whether the format of your specific SIP address was somehow more acceptable. I have noticed that, for example, if I try to call a Gizmo or Callcentric number (both of which are numeric prior to the @, it will treat it as an international number, dropping everything after the @. |

Silver Spring, MD | What are you entering? Google took both numbers or name from me. Anything but my Goog number.
Try sip:2029876543@call.dslreports.com - but substitute your number and domain. |

1 edit | OK, I got it to take the number. It apparently needs a 10 or 11 digit number before the @.
I then tried to enter my Callcentric number, which is 11 digits followed by @callcentric.com. The strangest thing happened when I then called my GV number with that callcentric number as the only active extension. It didn't ring the phone connected to callcentric. It did, however, lead me to a GRAND CENTRAL voicemail announcement (not GV). Finally, a few moments after I hung up I received a call from a woman who said I had been trying to call her. I didn't think to ask her what her number was, but Callcentral uses a 777 "area code," which I think does not exist.
I was a little embarrassed, and I don't want to experiment with using that number again. 
Edit: I just checked my GC voicemail, and the message I left was not on it, so it went to someone else's voicemail. I also checked the CID of the woman who called me, and the number was nothing like the one my GV number was forwarded to. Go figure. |

| "777" is what CallCentric uses, as you said. It is not a real POTS area code. Nevada tried to get 777 (think about it) but was denied.
-------------------------------------
However, an upcoming problem is "747" which is the Gizmo5/SIPphone code. Later this year 747 will also become a real POTS area code in California.
Mark my words, this will cause problems. But Gizmo5 is like the spaceship in the awful 1973 SF TV series "The Starlost"---the bridge crew has vanished and the ship is on autopilot.
BTW, "The Starlost" was a fine work by Harlan Ellison. The original screenplay was given a Writers Guild Award. But the actual TV series, produced in 1973-74, was so altered by the producers (and was SO bad) that Ellison had his name removed from the credits and replaced with the pseudonym "Cordwainer Bird". |

| My point is that the GV Settings/Phones tab would not save several SIP addresses (ones with letters before the "@"), but it did accept my CallCentric address. When I tried to call that extension through GV, however, it did not reach the phone I was trying to call. I was sent to some GC member's voicemail, but the ring was sent to a woman in the 206 area code.
Apropos of "The Starlost," this is like the guy who shows up at the airline ticket counter and says, "I'm going to Denver. I'd like this bag to go to Detroit, and that bag to go to New Orleans."
"We can't do that," the agent says.
"Why not? You did it the last time I flew." |

This may be obvious to most here, but I am sure there are a few people as unknowledgeable as I am.
Using gc by calling a sip url is pretty handy, but it is finicky. My gv number terminates at a phone here (the number is local to relatives, not me), and I couldn't get the * / pin / 2 combo to work unless I let it ring at least once.
I finally solved the problem by adding to my dial plan:
This lets me call even from the phone where the gv number is terminated. |

Yes, I noticed that the timing of the key press makes a difference. If I wait too long, the * takes me right to voice mail rather than to the "Enter your PIN" prompt.
I never tested to see whether this occurs only when I dial a SIP address from an adapter or soft phone, or whether this is also true when dialing from an ordinary phone. |

I didn't realize it earlier, but a gc/gv number is a godsend to people overseas who want free calling within the US. They can dial the sip url (or do the callback via ipkall => sip url), and then call anywhere in the US for free.
I suppose google and/or the overseas telecoms will plug that loophole eventually.
I can see gc/gv numbers on ebay already. $25? $50? |

I may be missing something, but wouldn't it be an international call to call the IPKall number from overseas? The IPKall number is within the PSTN. I agree that this would work if someone made a SIP call to his or her GV number and used GV as the gateway to the PSTN. |

Just tried mine. Still works fine. Nerd Vittles has updated the article and added a way to configure Google Voice as an Asterisk trunk. You might try that. Now you can just dial GV-202-456-1111 from any phone to call the White House.  |

You wouldn't call the ipkall number. You call the sip url of the gv number. That forwards it to the ipkall number. You have set up the ipkall number so that it forwards to your overseas sip url.
So when you call the sip url of the gv number, it will ring you back via the forwarding to the ipkall number, which will forward to the sip url of your overseas number.
I have only done this from Canada to the US so can't swear it works the same way overseas, but don't see why it would not. |

Thank you caseydoug. I’m a novice at this stuff and it took me several tries, but it’s working perfectly now.
If you don’t have a phone enable (checked) GV will require a PIN. To get around this bug add a contact with the same phone number and have it ring itself. I can’t take credit for this solution, I found it on the GV forum. |
