I'm in a middle of a dispute in another forum where someone with a high rating is swearing that it can't be done (without proxies or tunnels) and you will be blocked. I was wondering whether anyone who has ever used Google Voice with a foreign SIM in their phone could share their experiences. Thanks.
Yes, it can be done.
I'm using Google Voice with my Galaxy S4 in Venezuela. I have a Venezuelan SIM and it is working fine for me. I also forward my Skype calls to my Google Voice number.
It works perfect. I use GrooVe IP on my mobile plus the standalone Google Voice application. I also may use it on my computer, but this may require proxies, such as HotSpot Shield to mimic an US IP.
Yep, i'm one of those folks using it.
