I’m a big fan of Google Voice. During the past year, I’ve written a number of posts about it, including tutorials for setting it up and getting the most out of its features. During that time, the service has been in a limited beta, by invitation only. Yesterday, Google Voice opened up to the public. Anyone can now use it. To celebrate, I’ve decided to make a list of my favorite ways to use the service. Where applicable, I’ve provided links to detailed, step-by-step tutorials for setting up the features I describe.

In my two previous posts, I showed you how to use Google Voice and the Gizmo Project to set up your Nokia N810 internet tablet as a free wifi phone, and how to unlock your old Sunrocket analog telephone adapter (ATA) (Linksys SPA2102-R) for use with another VoIP service.

Background
Way back in July of 2007 I signed up for VoIP phone service with Sunrocket. They sent me a telephone adapter, called a “Analog Telephone Adapter” or ATA, which connected to my land-line phone and my internet connection, enabling me to make calls over the internet from any normal phone. I enjoyed the service for about one month before Sunrocket went out of business.

The Nokia N810 excels as a VoIP Wifi phone. I previously mentioned the device’s Skype capability, which I am so far pleased with. It’s inexpensive and works well, and I recommend it. This article will show you how to take things one step further by setting up your N810 to make and receive absolutely free phone calls to landlines and cell phones within the United States. I’ll walk you through the entire setup process.
