Price Drop – GVDialer

Google Voice is poised to make some big moves now that the rebranded GrandCentral is online and has added automatic transcription of voicemail. (It is unfortunately, currently open only to those of use who had a GrandCentral account.)
For those of us who do have access to it, however, it is pretty impressive. It works well, truly lets you have one number that can reach you just about anywhere and the transcription works quite well so long as the caller speaks s.l.o.w.l.y…a.n.d…c.l.e.a.r.l.y.,
It just might prompt me to make the move to it full time. (I haven’t because I want to be totally sure about the move before sking people to YET AGAIN use a different number for me.
The only thing left to position Google Voice for domination was an iPhone app. After all, Skype is now available through a variety of apps including their own.
Enter GVDialer. GVDialer allows you to…
Use Google Voice from your mobile phone with GVdialer. Enjoy these great features: -One number – Present your Google number when calling from your mobile, keeping your mobile number private.-Simple calling – call directly from your iPhone’s contacts.-Google Voice access – get instant access to your Google Voice features, like Voice mail, Inbox & Goog-411. Want to use Google Voice only on some of your calls? GVdialer gives you the flexibility to use Google Voice on international, domestic, or on all of your calls. You can also set GVdialer to let you decide on each & every call. Calls that you don’t make with Google Voice will go directly via your mobile provider.
I also bought GV Dialer when it first came out last week… FOR $9.99!! I tried it and it does indeed allow me to access Google Voice from my iPhone. No, it isn’t the GV Mobile I posted on over on whatsoniphone.com last week. That is a different app and, unlike GV Dialer will include SMS. Unlike reviews in the App Store, however, I have not experienced any crashes and GV Dialer is working fine for me.
I’m excited to see what GV Mobile will offer and, having just watched their promo video again will likely be using it as soon as it is released. Until then, however, GV Dialer lets me use Google Voice no matter where I am.
As noted, I bought it last week for $9.99. I paid the early adopter tax. You don’t have to since GVDialer is now just $2.99. If you have Google Talk and are planning to use Google Voice GRAB IT HERE.

You're still eating into your cell phone minutes though right? If so, what's the point? I have the app and Googe Voice account, so I'm just a little curious. Thanks for your help.
