Hi, if you are on iOS 7, then GV Connect runs in the background and will
ding when you get new messages. Be sure that sounds are turned on from
the Settings section of GV Connect itself. Only sound available is the
glass ding sound from iOS 6 and earlier since the sounds are part of the
app itself. If you want other types of notifications, then you will need
to use a push service like Push or Boxcar or Mailtones and have Google
Voice send incoming text messages to an email address which triggers the
push. yes, if you have a Google Voice number, you basically get texting
for free even if you don't have a real texting plan with your provider.
Hope that helps.

GV Connect users,
Are any of you able to get GV Connect to sound a notification when a
text comes in? I can find text messages in the app when I check but can't seem
to get it turned on in the notification Center. It would be nice to know if it
works for someone else.
Also, I don't have a texting plan but when non iPhone users send me a text to
my GV number it shows up in the app. So is this basically like having free
texting or am I missing something? I have texting turned off on my plan so
normally I don't get anything except from iphone users and AT And T directly.

Hi, it's basically for you to have an alternate number for calls and text
messages. You get many features and it's free. You might learn more if you do a
Google search for Google voice, or just visit the Google Voice page at
http://voice.google.com. You can get a number for free. The app GV Connect is
one of many apps in the app store which will access your Google Voice number
and allow you to call or text from it.
Hope this helps.

Hi, with GV Connect you can make calls via 3g or wi-fi, but only if you set
your options to use Google Talk and if you have the Talkatone app installed and
configured. However that portion will be changing in May this year. if you set
GV connect to use your allowed forwarding phones for the phone call, that will
still work from what I know. It's how I use it as well. SMS won't be changing
either.

Hi all. If you are a GV Connect fan as I am, or if you are looking for a
Google Voice app which works well and even better than Google's own app,
then you might consider GV Connect. I've written many times before about
this great app. I'd like to write yet again to say that the developer and I
have had a great dialog recently regarding some weirdness where voice over
is concerned in the latest update. One of the issues is that now when you
open an SMS conversation, it's very verbose. This is especially true if you
are using Braille. So, he's going to shorten that. There are other things
coming down the line to make the app even better, but I mainly wanted to
point out that it's because of this kind of developer feedback which helps
make an already awesome app even awesomer if that's a word.
Thanks much.
