4 edits | [Proggy] Update! Google Voice dialer Update on 11-September-2011. Since this thread is old, DogFace05 asked me to update this post as follows:
"Seems Google made some changes recently that broke the last version of gvdial (0.72.0). Here's a new incarnation that should work until the next time they fiddle with it. This release also adds support for sending SMS text messages."
~dbmaven~
Here's a Google Voice adaptation of my original Grandcentral command line dialer. Note that this version only works with GV. The command line parameter syntax is identical to the Grandcentral dialer's, so refer to the Grandcentral dialer thread for usage suggestions. Note that Google Voice use an email address as username, as opposed to Grandcentral's simple username.

Anyway options to save the login name, pw and GV number? It would be nice to just type in the destno. |

| This program is just a no-frills quick and dirty thing I put together to make it easier for me to make calls with GC, and now GV, without having to go through the trouble of browsing to and logging in to the web site. At some point, perhaps I'll make the effort to further develop it into something more user friendly and feature filled. For now, however, I have my plate full with other projects.
For the time being, and as discussed in the Grandcentral dialer thread, you can create a batch (.bat) file, and or Windows shortcut with your parameters preset. There are suggestions and examples in that thread. |

Error: Failed to properly login. Don't you need to first do a web login to use this dialer? |

NVM, I used my GC account....
works perfect after I entered my GV username(email address).
thanks! |

No. The dialer does its own login. However, being a quick and dirty implementation, it currently does not in any way process the username and password to make them web correct. In other words, if either contain any HTTP/HTML reserved characters, such as <, >, +, /, \, :, ;, =, quotes, etc, they will be passed along to the server unescaped and certainly confuse it. Eventually, I'll get around to fixing this, but for the time being, one can specify the parameters with such characters pre-escaped. For example, if your password happens to be something like "1234=5678", you'd specify it in a DOS prompt command line as "1234^%3D5678". Note that % is a reserved character in the DOS CLI, and thus may need to be escaped itself (depending on what follows it) by preceding it with a caret ('^'). |

| last night, I tried it when I was logged in my GC account using FIREFOX.
I get what you explained, maybe its a FF and IE problem since I have no special symbol in my psw? |
|
| My last post was specifically a reply to Mazilo's post, but also meant to help anyone who might happen to have problems caused by special characters in their username/password.
In your case, however, you've established that it was caused by your trying to use it with Grandcentral. As stated in my OP, this version is only for Google Voice; it is not compatible with Grandcentral. For a Grandcentral version, you need to follow the link (also posted in the OP) to the older Grandcentral version. However, if you've already upgraded to GV, the GC version won't do you much good, unless you have another current GC account to use it with. |

Thank you for this.
Now, how about a Blackberry app that does the same thing, linked to the Blackberry address book?

| Don't have a Blackberry, so it'll have to be a project for someone else. |

Hey there. Pretty neat utility. Any chance you'd be willing to share your source code or some samples? I'm trying to develop an Outlook Extension which would let me dial directly from my addressbook.
thanks! |

| This would be awesome if you could make it into an IVR service reachable from a sip uri...something like user@gvcallback.com where you can then enter a account code or pin code and the number you want to call. It would hang up and a few seconds later you'd get an incoming call from Google voice. I'd imagine some people would pay for that convenience. |

I'm trying to develop an Outlook Extension which would let me dial directly from my addressbook. thanks! Thanks for the kind words. I do have some bigger and better plans for it, but to be able to justify any further development, I have to be able to make a living from my work. Being an independent developer, I depend entirely for my livelihood on what little income I can derive from the solutions I develop. Unfortunately, it's not possible to make ends meet giving away one's work. As I've had to learn the hard way, having been burnt severely by a number of career plagiarists over the past few years, sharing one's work has time and again proved to be a guaranteed recipe for financial disaster and serious health consequences. Sorry, but so long as I still have plans to further develop my dialer, it's source will remain for my eyes only. |

I started work on a project along those lines (except better) last fall, back when it was still for Grandcentral. However, it's ended up on hold, while I've had to focus on other higher priority projects. |
