Hangouts Dialer - Call Phones

Well... I think that this app is great!!! But there is a problem. People cannot call you! I definitely want to recommend it for people that do not wanna be bothered by calls. They only call other people. All of the little ninas and ninos out there who are just learning about phones should get it! I am only 8, so I picked up a little bit of spanish, and I know that I have this app, and another call app. I mostly use the other one, but overall this app is AWESOME quality. So, thank you so much...

1) Can utilize bluetooth speakers AND microphone. 2) Automatic simulation of voice data for dropped packets. 3) DTMF tone generation works. 4) Call survives transition from LTE to WiFi 5) Sometimes called party reports my voice is very quiet, especially when not using speakerphone. Wish a power user feature could be offered to gain-up microphone. (hasn't been a problem with native dialer) 6) Wish option were offered to dial immediately from API passed-in phone number

Great app!!! Been using for over a year and works as described. Only issue I've come across is a bit of a delay during conversation. This is likely due to the speed of the connection ...... Phenomenal app! P.S......I use this as a phone/text App....Nothing more. Ever. At all. Period............IT's perfect for a wifi-based VOIP. Best app availability for this idea.

Thank you Google. My other half's phone was out of service so I couldn't get a hold of him. I was so worried! With this app, he was able to call me while connected to WiFi and put my mind at ease. Great app! Definitely worth downloading for times like this.

Traveling abroad in Europe must have app. Worked perfectly without a sim card, since finding a foreign cell carrier to sell you a card for a few days is difficult at best. As long as you have a WiFi connection your good. Saved us when we had to call the airlines to change a flight reservation, since Delta contracts out to KLM and they wouldn't change our reservation... told us to use the pay phone and call Delta...Costly! Can't wait to use it more state side when cell coverage is failing me.

This needs to be said, Google what are you doing?!?!? I started using Google Voice as my all around messaging application. Then I moved to Hangouts. This was because it was receiving more support than Google Voice. Now I feel that Google is putting both of these applications, two of the most powerful and useful applications they have, on the back burner. This is unfair. I hope that they will continue supporting Google Voice and hangouts in the future. They are both amazing applications.

I use this app to call international calls.. Even though I have full LTE signal and on WiFi the call Quality is very poor. Out of 10 people that I call 8 people complains that it is not audible or bearably hear me. Tried from using 2 different phones and various locations.. I don't recommend this app for international calling .

I used this on a recent trip to Europe. We did not want to have to worry about expensive international plans or overage charges, so I used this app in conjunction with my Google voice number. I gave my family and friends my Google voice number and used WiFi Hotspot to check my messages and return calls absolutely free! This was a definite must have. I heard that Google is moving hangouts to the enterprise market and replacing it with duo and allo. Please, please keep the Google voice and hangouts dialer functionality!

When you want to make free WiFi calls, it's great! Always not as great as a cellular connection. But one draw back a big pain, Tmobile had put an update that interferes with free WiFi. You can get around it with Google voice, going thru hangouts. Don't give up!

Since the latest update Hangouts, Hangouts Dialer, Gmail and Google auto crashes 95% of the time on all four Android devices my family uses. When hitting the report button it then comes up with an error that Google services has stopped. Originally we were able to uninstall updates and get everything to work again, but that no longer helps. It has been several weeks of troubleshooting and the services are still unusable.

Spent alot in this app but I would say that 5 or 10% of what I spent got wasted because of the poor service. When you call someone else pick up (connect you to a different number from the one you're calling) which happened many times, sometimes the line open and the minutes start counting while the phone is still ringing. Sometimes when you finally get hold on the person you were trying to call they will tell you the phone didn't ring at all. Quality of the call is good. Wrote few feedback but no response.

Its alright but you guys need to develop a "hangouts contacts" as well and implement it into the Hangouts suite --like you did with dialer. Also, sometimes it don't always over ride the phones default phone app. Sometimes if I toggle the option off and on it will work and then sometimes it will not. Now sure what is going on with that. I love the fact that you provide a great phone voicemail service with telephone number and it's the primary reason I use Hangouts --I can have one number regardless if I pick up a new provider or not. One other thing you can add is if Dialer could behave or act like a default phone app, utilizing the service providers network instead of WiFi only. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

I used to use GrooveIP with my Google voice number, it worked really well, it was only voice, no SMS. Now I have to use this since GrooveIP no longer works with Google voice numbers... I have texts disabled with my service provider, Ting, in their site, so they don't charge me for texts. Somehow this app bypasses my account and allows people to text my main number, and Ting charges me for it. I have a separate app I use for text over IP, would be nice if I could either disable SMS or use my text IP number.

With the latest update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 running KitKat Hangouts does not connect for me to joing an ongoing group call I had initially missed. Hangouts says it cannot connect to the server. When I uninstalled the update, it shows me the ongoing call for me to join.

1)There is no option to "Send Message" from the drop down menu when selecting a phone number from the call log. 2) Call log is not synchronized with other devices. That's what google is for, to keep everything synchronized on all devices!

My guess: difference in permissions required. That's my guess, or maybe because of some compatibility issues with Hangout previous the update and introduction of calls. Can't tell, but I love the idea of being a complete app. Deserve a 5/5.

Hangouts team please... This lacks a lot of basic features: can't access contact by tapping avatar, no call details, can't add to contacts from call history (have to copy and paste number! What is this the dark age!?). Would love to see some more consideration for usability here.

I've used the Google Hangout to make calls over Sea's as well as replenish my account with credit. The app works great except once in a while based on where you are calling and the infrastructure of that country the call may drop during your conversation as I have experienced on a few occasions, which is expected. Apart from that I like the app and continue to use it to call my Family in the Caribbean & South and Latin America. Highly recommend to smart-phone users.

Not an actual dialer. It won't make calls from other apps (ex. clicking a link or initiating a call through Google Now). Definitely not a limitation of the operating system and the level of control third party apps have over system functions - Skype can do it, why can't Hangouts (an app that is actually made by the same people who made the OS)? That's a deal breaker for me since I use Google Now for pretty much everything.

You can piggy back Google Voice on Hangout. This means you can make VoIP wifi/data calls without using a telcom celluar network! Free calling without a plan is possible. Realize these are the big steps of eleminating the cellphone! I can answer a call from Gmail, Chrome Hangouts widget, tablet, via cellphone on wifi and they all ring at the same time. Switching from real number, GV #, and Hangout email. Perfect!

DOES NOT MUTE MEDIA AUDIO FOR PHONE CALLS. Needs to behave more like a phone not an app ·Sound quality is good on Wi-fi and 4G. Keypad is too small for my big fingers or one-handed operation. ·I accidentally dial from the recent calls all the time. ·It needs inbound unknown caller ID, i.e. Truecaller/White pages compatible.

Using it as a start today was really a lifesaver in the sense that your able to make calls free depending on your location. My only issue is if you could add regular text messaging as an input that connect regular text from any mobile carrier without a plan being needed. Yes there SMS from Hangout, however since your enabling your own number wouldn't connecting regular text be of use?

I'm getting the message, "We are sorry, but phone calling is temporarily unavailable", every time I open the Hangouts Dialer app recently. It worked wonderfully a few weeks ago when I needed to make a long distance call, and now I need to do so again but I can't. Between this and the regular Hangouts no longer including a widget, I'm just about ready to stop using Google's apps entirely.

I tried to call to my home number. Tariff was 0.15c. I was standing next to my landline phone and it never rang. The time started counting in the app even before it started ringing (in the app only, I never received a call on my home phone). I decided to disconnect the call at 57th second, but I got charged for 2 minutes talk (0.30c). Google call history now shows that I used the service for two minutes. Is this a good service? Is this fair?

Good app. Does provide free U.S. and Canada calling over wifi to landlines... Great in a pinch. Just what we have been looking for to get away from roaming fees. Still this app can do with some improvement. Also far better than numerous other apps that boast free calling, when the callls are not free. May change to 5 stars after using this for a couple months.

Very useful app, especially for SMS and calls in North America. I hope it will stay this way for a long time and will extend the list of countries, where you can dial the US numbers. I had some issues setting it up on my Samsung Galaxy S2 that runs Android 6. I had to go manually into Settings and install permission to use microphone for Hangouts app (not the Dialer). But now everything works fine.

Can do just about anything - voice call, video call or texting. It works awesome on my TAB S 8.4, and I use it to call and text people. It does cost money to voice call to outside the US and Canada (maybe video call, I cannot tell). But, texting is 100% FREE! It texts all kinds of media, including pictures and videos. If you have a tablet or device compatible with this app, and you are in need of a cost free form of communication, google's app is the one for you (note: you need wi-fi or any kind of internet connection to use this. Contacts don't require a phone number to use; you can use your email, or a phone number. )!

The Hangout dialer worked fine initially. But when you make calls using this dialer, there is no ring sound nor a connection confirmation. No feedback /Sound when connected. It seems other party gets the rings but when they attempt to speak nothing is audible to the caller. Google Developers should investigate this issue and resolve it ASAP.

I love using the Google services, because they work really good. Unfortunately this not really, you can't buy money unless you have a credit card? And there's only the credit card, no PayPal or Ideal. What even weirder is, you can't use Google Wallet for it. If Google will add more methods to pay, I'll be rating it 5 stars and start using it.

not able to verify number and receive code. have tried computer as well. Is there any other way to verify phone number without receiving text message? Was working fine till few days earlier. now can not dial. it says "call has ended" Will give 5 stars once my phone number is verified and it does not say "call has ended"

There needs to be an option to to choose how to make make calls, either over cellular network or data/wifi. Wifi and data arnt always reliable. Still have Google voice ask if I want call using Google voice or my carrier. Wish incoming calls could be the same. Ask how I want to answer over data or forwarded to cellular. Both ring just need to be fast enough to chose.

I cannot recommend this app enough. It's basically hangouts, but the shortcut just takes you to the call page. However, I love that I can use all my Google communication services in one app. Yes, it's not as intuitive as other SMS apps like Textra, QKSMS, or even Google messenger. As with anything in life, it takes time to get used to it and recognize all the features. I like having one app that does everything that I need and because I have a Google account everything integrates seamlessly with no hassle. People may disagree strongly about what I think of this app however, as someone who uses Google products extensively every day, I could not be happier. Please keep making this app better, and I will continue to support it.

This is an awsome app! It's cool to be able to call any Canada and US number free of charge over WiFi. No need to worry about using your cellular data or minutes. Also, as a totally blind user, I am happy to see that Hangouts Dialer is accessible with the TalkBack screenreader. However, I have some issues with the audio quality. There is a significant delay, and although I hear the person I'm calling, they have trouble hearing me. Please fix this in the next release!!!

I use Hangouts for Google Voice number only. Lately I have not been receiving notifications for my texts. I literally have to go in and open a conversation for the messages to appear...sometimes hours later!! This is extremely inconvenient. And a quick Google search let me know I'm not the only one with this issue. Can we get a fix for this some time soon???

Every time I try to use this whether over WiFi or4g the person on the other line always says they can't understand me. I don't know if it's the app, my phone, or the cell networks/WiFi internet but this just doesn't work yet. On Verizon HTC one m8

My boyfriend and I use this to sleep with each other even when we're apart. It's wonderful. But when he bought me this Samsung galaxy it won't work to call him. It only works if he calls me. It would be nice to watch movies together on my laptop. Any help or advice to fix this?

If I choose to make Hangouts ring when someone calls my GV# then there is no voice on either side. But if I make GV forward calls to my tmo# then the default Android dialer rings and voice is fine both ways. BTW, how do you put a comma to dial extensions directly?

Trying to start transitioning from Google voice to Hangout. I'm happy about the group text capability now & MMS. Can we get the ability to start an SMS text from the hangouts website? Also hoping for the ability to appear invisibleoffline. I do not want to start chats with my contacts but mostly keep things isolated as texts.

I'm a big supporter of hangouts and Google voice. But for the past few months my calls won't last more than 10 seconds before disconnecting, no matter the quality of the wifi or 4g LTE I'm on. Google voice has lost all of its reliability for me and I spent the money to have my carrier number transferred to it for business. My clients aren't happy. It worked perfectly before so I have faith that it can work again. But until then. I can't rate it any higher

Tried installing this on my Nexus 7 and followed the tutorials for setting up Google voice. Just while my phone is in the menders. Added 10GBP credit in readiness. Total costs: 12 quid after Tax. Dialer states its compatible with all of my devices and has worked on my Nexus 4 for calls and video calls on 3G network. Nexus 4 sim is 4G and shows as 4G on my Nexus 7 LTE version. Google voice does not give the option of getting a Google number (and hence no option to keep my current number). Have requested an answer or my credit refunded.
