- limeblack 9y agoI think you mean Google Hangouts if you are taking a about the app(which is confusing and frankly my work on both on Android) and incoming calls only works on Android.
- danellis 9y ago> I think you mean Google Hangouts No, Google Voice predates Google Hangouts.
- limeblack 9y agoI misread the comment. > Google Voice just used to use data to set up a PSTN call. Has something changed? Google Voice did not originally support data only calling(VOIP) like I said read the comment above me. He is supporting what I was saying. > Yes. About 4 years ago they integrated full VoIP calling into something they call the Hangouts Dialer. Outbound works well, although I often have to initiate a call twice due to setup connectivity weirdness on LTE. Inbound basically never works, so I leave the PSTN forwarding on for that reason. I have been on Google Voice for a fairly long time. Google Voice used to only supports PSTN calling although it uses data to trigger the call.
- rb808 9y agoExactly - I can have a data-only plan to receive calls on a number.
