EPRP + google voice

AJ4VS · 07-26-2010, 07:43 AM

What have you all found to be the best/cheapest way to use google voice with the EPRP plan? The way I work it out in my head, I can't find a way to get around using my bucket of monthly minutes for my calls.

Any ideas/input?

Thanks

Sprint@home service and the use of a call back program or web calling via GV online on the phone.

please excuse my ignorance...I guess I should have stated in the first post that I am not (yet) a sprint customer...

But, I searched sprint.com as well as google but found nothing...what is Sprint@home? Is there a cost for this?

Thanks again

Actually it's sprint TO home. It's a calling "circle" with one number. You put your google voice number as the one that doesn't use minutes. Then you have people call your google voice number which forwards to your cell. For outgoing calls you can call the GV number, press 2, then dial your number. Kinda klunky. Or you can store the digits to do so in your contact list.

Also keep in mind, EPRP has Anymobile, Anytime. So calling any cell on any carrier in the US is already free in that plan.

thank u both very much for the clarification. Just one last thing - is this a free feature that comes with the plans (probably unlikely) or is there a montlh fee for this (probably the case)

There is a $5/mth charge for Sprint to Home.
