1) Firefox Google Voice Add on
This is a nice little app that makes it possible to make phone calls, and text messages from your Google Voice account with out having another open window.

2)Send one message to multiple contacts with ContacTexter

This is a neat little app that was written using Java so it’s cross platform. The interface isn’t too pretty, but it works, and it’s FREE!

3) Get the BEST number on Google Voice Script
This guy figured out how to access google voice number search via a script, and run queries to grab the JSON file. This is definitely worth taken a look at if you are a developer/programmer of any kind. Unfortunately it is a script that was built for OSX 10.5 but is possible to modify and run in 10.4.

4) Scott’s SMS via Python for Google Voice Script (Everyday Scripting)
This is a neat little script to send text messages using Python.

4b) Scott’s NEW AND IMPROVED Python Script for Google Voice (Everyday Scripting)
This script allows you to send mass sms or mass call in an iterative fashion. Keep up the good work Scott!

5) How to write a Google Voice App
Well not exactly, but does give some insight in how Google Voice works since there is no API as of yet.

6) How to use Google Voice as your voice mail instead of your cell provider
This is basically instructions on how to forward your voicemail to google voice. This should help users with the Google Voice Transition.

7) How to enable Google Voice push notifications on iPhone 3GS

8 )One click International Calling with Google Voice

9) Another Google Voice Python Script
pygooglevoice brings the power of the Google Voice API to the Python language in a simple, easy-to-use manner.

10) Using Google Voice with Fluid (OSX Only)

11) Google Voice Grease Monkey Growl Script

12) Place Google Voice Calls directly from contacts on iPhone (Apple Script)

The script works by adding numbers to contacts in Address Book that dial your contact via Google Voice. The new number is prefixed with your Google Voice number, your pin, and the number two. It dials into your Google Voice number and places the call to your contact.

13) Google Voice Bookmarklet Generator (iPhone or iPod Touch)
Those of you who follow tech news know that there’s been quite a dust-up recently over Google Voice apps on the iPhone. First they were allowed, but now they’re banned. So until they work things out, or Google comes up with a more elegant web-based solution, placing a call using Google Voice on the iPhone is a long and drawn-out process. So Ironic Sans came up with this solution.

14) Google Voice Mobile Web Version
This is the mobile web version of Google Voice. I figured it would be good to note on here.

15) Import Facebook Contacts into your Google Voice Contacts (Script)
Facebook’s API + FBConnect is great but it has some severe limitations. Notably, it doesn’t expose all the functionality available on the Facebook site. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to copy a dump of my friends’ names and phone numbers off the site to load into a fresh cell phone. Unfortunately, looking at the API this isn’t possible. Never fear – Greasemonkey provides enough of a hook into Firefox that it would be possible to write a UserScript to accomplish this.

16) Turn Google Voice into a OSX Friendly Application
Google Voice’s web site is nice, but keeping it open in a browser tab can be cumbersome. Mac users, however, can get Growl notifications, complete with transcript previews, and app badge updates with the handy Fluid app. Unfortunately the Fluid App is only available for 10.5 and greater. This was enough reason for me to update, so maybe you should too.

17) Google Voice Dashboard Widget for OSX
Are you looking for an easy way to call or send SMS messages to your contacts using your Google Voice number right from your fingertips? GV Connect is your answer: a Google Voice widget which allows you make calls and send SMS messages from your GV number to your Address Book and Google contacts right from the Dashboard

18) Google Voice Notifier Windows and OSX
A simple system tray notifier for Google Voice. Lets you know when you have unread text or voice messages. The project is written in java and uses Google Voice’s REST service calls. This notifier will work on any platform that supports the java system tray icon.

Enable TEST MODE:
1. Hit the menu button
2. Quickly enter 073887*
-A dialogue box should open stating, “Enter Security Code:”, if not
retry steps 1-2.
3. Enter the Security Code
-Default code is 000000
4. Scroll to option “Test Mode” and select it
5. Choose “Enable” and exit to the main screen

Turn on TEST MODE and change settings
1. Hit the left soft key and the menu key simotauniously until a white screen appears with the letters “FTS” on top.
2. Hit the right soft key three (3) times
3. Scroll down to “HDR Pref:” and select “CDMA” with the right soft key
4. Scroll down to “HDR Hybr:” and select “off” with the right soft key
5. Push the left soft key and “EXIT”
6. Exit test mode by the same key combination as you did to enter it (left soft key and the center menu key.)

Power phone off then on.

Disable TEST MODE: Follow the same steps that you used to enable it.

Your phone should now only display 1x and no longer show EV indicator. USE GREAT CAUTION IN THE SETTINGS THAT YOU CHANGE! You can seriously mess your phone up by playing with the TEST MODE.

Another TIP:
I thought I’d share a little shortcut to make life a little easier when needing to access test mode:

1. Enter ##33284 (rapidly). If you did it properly, the ‘4’ won’t appear in the display. Test Mode access is now enabled.
2. Now press the menu key, followed by the left soft key. You are now in Test Mode, ready to do whatever changes you’re intending.
3. To end Test Mode, again press the menu key, followed by the left soft key (as you can see, it works as a toggle).
4. Test Mode access is still enabled, so it’s a good idea to shut it off. You do it the same when you enabled it (rapid pressing of ##33284).

This technique makes access a little faster and easier.

NOTE: When doing *228 (remote phone programming, which Verizon suggests to do at least once a month), Verizon will switch you back to EVDO. Again, if you don’t subscribe to the costly and useless VCAST service, there’s no reason to have EVDO enabled. Just follow the steps outlined above.

Operator Codes
Motorola phones support the use of operator codes to set miscellaneous options. I don’t have access (yet) to the v710 level 3 manuals, but many of the opcodes from previous models still work – I used this to boost the earpiece volume somewhat (although it’s still too quiet).

First, to enter the opcode screen, press Menu + 048263 + *. You’ll have to do this rather quickly. This will bring you to a box prompting you for an opcode. Before you can enter any codes, it will be necessary to suspend the phone. To do this, enter 54* and press OK. The display will go black and the phone will be suspended. Press the camera button on the outside of your phone to turn the backlight back on. You should see “SUCCESS” on the screen. Go back and then you can enter whatever opcodes you like. So far these are the ones I have that work – feel free to send more if you got them. About the only useful one is the audio level. I know there are more, but I can’t find documentation anywhere.
