Those of you who closely follow tech news know that there have been quite uproar lately over Google Voice apps on the iPhone which were allowed initially, but now they’re banned. Apple may have made some poor decisions about Google Voice on the iPhone, but if you are still curious about integration between your iPhone and Google Voice, the Google Voice Speed Dial Bookmarklet generator is definitely a useful option for several iPhone users.
The iPhone user (or you) must point the iPhone to http://www.ironicsans.com/gv/ and follow the instructions where a little digging in Voice account to get the proper credentials for the bookmarklet to work is essential. Next, enter in your Google Voice code obtained from above including, your iPhone number and the number of the persons that you intend to call according to your preferences. Now, you need to hit Generate and then the tool will dish out a few more instructions that you will need to follow in order to integrate between iPhone and Google Voice. Finally, you will have a quick-dial bookmark in mobile Safari that you can hit to speed dial specific contacts much faster than going through the mobile Google Voice site. Google Voice, allows you to organize your contacts as Safari bookmarks.
The process of setting up the first phone number takes a few more steps, but after that the rest are easy as you will not have to take the trouble to add everyone from your Address Book, but it’s easy to set up a “Google Voice Faves” folder with all your most-called people. You can arrange them in folders and then dialing from your bookmarks is as simple as dialing from your normal Contacts app where you just tap to dial the required contact or number easily without hindrances. It is a pretty huge task adding all the contacts, but for frequently used numbers it is indeed a great idea that works very well.
The integration between iPhone and Google Voice has worked out well for me though; I have not tested this on other iPhone users. I am confident it will work for you as well as it works for me with a great deal of success. I think it will work equally well as a desktop bookmarklet, thereby making the iPhone a lot more compatible with Google Voice now.
