Opening Google Voice and your Inbox

You can check your Google Voice Inbox, exchange messages, and perform other tasks 
with Google Voice.

You don’t use the Voice application to place calls—you do that with the Phone 
application. See “Placing calls with Google Voice” on page 191.

The first time you open Google Voice, you are prompted to configure it, as described in 
“Configuring Google Voice” on page 189.

Open Google Voice

S

Touch the Google Voice icon 

 in the Launcher or on the Home screen.

See “Opening and switching applications” on page 40 to learn more about 
opening and switching applications.

The first time you open Google Voice, a setup wizard helps you to select which 
Google Voice features to use with your phone and then to configure the features 
that you want.

After the initial setup, Google Voice opens to the last screen you were viewing or, if 
you have not used Google Voice recently, your Inbox.

Your Inbox displays any voicemail (marked with a 

 icon) and text messages 

(marked with a 

 icon) you’ve received, along with the sender, the date the 

message was sent, and the first few words of the message.

Touch a voicemail or text message to 
open it.
