Google voice billing my phone bill!? O_O

[lightmaria]

Okay so ..I was making a bunch of accounts using google voice to get a new number. I have 4 phones and 4 gv accs and have 8 numbers attached to each phone. So basically 8 ebay accs. But now my tmobile cell phone bill came up rly rly high and it said I was making long distant phone calls but I never made any calls to long distance places and I didnt recognize the numbers to where the calls were going.

Has someone else been using my google voice number and I'm getting billed because my cell phone number is the port number for these calls? I have no idea whats going on !! Do I need to have the google voice app on all my phones cause I don't. I dont think thats related to any of this though.

that's a first, have you talked to you cellphone company? or maybe need to talk to google and find out why their billing you.

long distance? is this really charged anymore? i mean rly?

att go phone sim cards work great in unlocked t-mobile cell phones.... and t-mobile will unlock your phone easy chezy if you say the right words.

Call your company make sure that gvoice is actually the person billing you. Make up a story and get them to remove the charges. I cannot tell you how many times i have ordered movies on my TV and then later on called them to remove the charges. Done this with my phone many times too. U would be surprised what a good story and a convincing voice can do.

If you use a GV mobile app for outbound calls, you'll be billed for calls to Google Voice direct access numbers -- a different number for each contact. If you use the GV mobile website, you'll be billed for an incoming call from your GV number. And if you use the voicemail interface, you'll be billed for an outbound call to your GV number.

My personal suggestion would be to have a TracFone or other prepaid Phone to have calls forwarded to.
