Description

From the listing uploaded by “ramalhofree”.

Voice without Minutes! GrooVe IP is an android app that connects to Google Voice using Voice over IP (VoIP). What this means for you is you can make free unlimited calls to any phone in the US or Canada without using your voice minutes. GrooVe IP works on any android device, phone or tablet, and allows you to make calls using the device’s data (WiFi or mobile data) connection. If you have a smartphone with Wi-Fi connectivity but no mobile plan, you can use this app to convert it to a free, full-featured working phone. This app has a separate dialer that can be used to make calls. Alternatively, the native dialer, call-log, contacts, and favorite functionality can be shared between the phone and app on a call-by-call basis. ** NOTE ** Please ensure that your Google Voice account is associated with either a gmail or google apps account. ** NOTE ** To receive incoming calls you MUST go into your Google Voice account and forward calls to Google Chat. ** NOTE ** GrooVe IP uses 1.2 MB per minute during a call For requirements, setup details, answers to frequently asked questions, known issues, or more information, please visithttp://snrblabs.com/snrb/grooveIp.aspxIf you have any questions, feature requests, or run into any problems please contact us!

GrooVe IP - Free Calls APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the GrooVe IP - Free Calls APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b61b88f1a10c1f119fdd51dd7b4af05e.
