- KennMac, on 09/28/2009, -1/+20Obligatory: ***** AT&T.
- Pinkertinkle, on 09/28/2009, -0/+15it's my opinion that google voice can do wutever the hell it wants as long as it doesnt charge me money.
- whatthefu, on 09/28/2009, -0/+15AT&T needs to watch itself. Unlike Google, it doesn't have the luxury of being a company anyone likes.
- bbardlbradd, on 09/28/2009, -0/+13AT&T tells me that my internet cuts out repeatedly between 10pm and 10am every ***** night because I have a "home networking problem"...
AT&T tech's come by once a month and tell me that my phone line contacts are bad, replaces them, leaves... it's 10pm when I can show them that when I say "Doing that won't fix the problem, it's been done once every month for a year", I'm being honest.
AT&T tells me that they don't usually push "Pro" out to people over xft from the station, I used to live further, with no issues.
AT&T signs me up for a lesser service, then charges me 3 times as much as they did with "Pro".
Honestly, I done give a ***** about what AT&T has to say, especially about Google. - sawyer23, on 09/28/2009, -0/+11I have at&t and i cannot stand them. They are overpriced and long live net neutrality!
- mark925, on 09/28/2009, -0/+9pinker: That's the "issue" that AT&T has. They know if people use Google Voice people won't use their AT&T minutes. For AT&T to act all innocent about this is laughable.
- AndrewDB, on 09/28/2009, -0/+5AT&T .. bitching ..
Gee. what else is new? - ladfrombrad, on 09/28/2009, -0/+5"where dodgy providers charge high access rates"
Surely if the FCC clamped down on these outfit's that would be a start? - Myztry, on 09/28/2009, -1/+4If AT&T dropped the data type distinctions they could probably argue they weren't a common carrier bound by laws intended to give all people access to a voice calling infrastructure.
- TheCharlz, on 09/28/2009, -1/+4@mark925 Google Voice dials your cellphone and you answer it. That's the point Google was making. You still have to use your cellphone minutes. I suppose of course if there was an app made for the iPhone, on a WiFi network your could circumvent using minutes. But having used Google Voice, I don't believe trying to not use your minutes is what makes it the most useful. It's the ability to handle your calls however you want. If you use multiple phones, you can have it forward to all phones after so many rings. You can screen your calls and check voice mails in an inbox. It will translate a voice mail to a text message and send it to you.
- GOVATENT, on 09/28/2009, -0/+3i am sure att would be happy to let you forward calls to multiple phones and transcribe voicemail at a nice premium.
- nofx1510, on 09/28/2009, -0/+2There is way to much noise on the electrical grid to allow for high bandwidths to be achieved. The best solution but also most expensive solution right now is fiber to the door. While companies are trying to get it done it will take a while.
- sciencelovesyou, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1I'm going to give you ten points for enthusiasm, and actually making me chuckle.
Still... you gotta spam and I gotta bury. It's the beauty of the food chain. - spunalot, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1We need broadband over the electrical grid.
- MacHarborGuy, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1they can do anything they want, but when AT&T has a similar app on the iPhone (AT&T Virtual Receptionist), it really shows they are playing favorites
- MacHarborGuy, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1here is the funny thing, AT&T has a Google Voice competitor app on the iPhone already, called Virtual Receptionist. It basically does the exact same thing Google Voice does for call routing (minus outgoing calls and SMS)
- nofx1510, on 09/28/2009, -1/+1Communism is a red herring.
- Nelagster, on 09/28/2009, -1/+1lol you sound like my parents when i was younger
- Speedy7, on 09/28/2009, -6/+1This is news.
- inactive, on 09/28/2009, -8/+1yeah...but AT&T and Apple don't need to allow it on their phone. They can do anything they want too.
- burrdugg, on 09/28/2009, -7/+0Is Google Voice only offering US phone numbers? If so, I imagine the people calling that number from outside the US will pay extraneous long distance fees. If that is indeed the case, what is the point of Google Voice? We already have similar free phone number services in my country.
