so what's the status of google Voice, Iphone, and texting?

[soccerballtux]

Can you do it using the data plan? Or does it use normal texts?

I want to know also. Someone?

Google voice apps were just released.

I can tell you how it works on Android but I'm not sure at all on the iPhone.

Android it just uses data instead of texts. Voice still uses minutes.

Again...no clue about IP

you can text via google voice using just data

It doesn't integrate with the regular text app, so you have to set it up to send an email when you get a text and then allow that to push notifications to your iphone. Then you'll know when you get a text, then you boot up the app and reply. At least that's how it used to be... I haven't tried the new "official" google voice app so it might have proper push notification and "always on" support to not need the email setup.

Are you talking the Android one or iPhone one? Android one has had push notification for a few months now. You can also reply to the email directly when you get a text - don't need to see the email and check the app.

I just read on engadget or some other site a day or two ago that a GV app was approved. Not the official google one but it looked nice.

I was talking the iPhone, since that's what the OP asked about

I know it's a lot better integrated on Android, but I'm unsure exactly how far off the iPhone may get now that they've relaxed their app deathgrip a tad.
