You can install it from Play. It's straightforward. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

  It's not so straightforward if Google thinks you are not in the US.

    That has always been the case, but is not so today. Google Play knows where I am as it offered the Nexus5 in Japanese Yen. Nevertheless I successsfully installed Google Voice just now.

      Can you set it up? I've always been able to install the APK, but if you don't already have a GV number, it wants to send an SMS to a real phone number as part of the setup, and that number needed to be American.

        As you say, cannot set it up. I guess nothing has changed.

    Right, if Google doesn't think you are in the US, you won't be able to download Voice from Play. Which is really annoying if you actually are in the US... I had to deal with this problem earlier this month, and the answer here fixed the issue for me: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/44677/how-to-change-my-device-location-on-the-play-store http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/44677/how-to-chan...

I am regretting the GV port I did when I moved to the Nexus line. All my friends like to MMS/ group text and I've had to revert to the base number of my sim card to communicate with my close friends. With regards to one of the up the stream comments, I love the T-Mobile $30/mo 100min, unlimited text, 5gb 4g plan on my Nexus 4.
