Ughh I've been having pretty inconsistent (and mostly on the side of BAD) experiences with VPN Unlimited as well as Tunnelbear when trying to shovel Talkatone, GrooveIP, and GV-forwarded calls through either VPNs. Not sure what the deal is but I'm having trouble on both my Android devices (Nexus 7 2012 tablet and Moto G). At first I was having problems receiving the GV-forwarded call and being able to answer in Talkatone. The ring screen comes up but if I hit "answer" it doesn't actually answer. I tried directly dialing both my Talkatone and GrooveIP numbers (while connected to the VPN) from my wife's cellphone and Talkatone would ring but did not answer despite pressing "answer" - the GrooveIP number didn't even ring my devices!

I was in Mexico this past weekend and tried the same thing as well with poor results through the VPN. I was able to make one call out using the GV Desktop site trick but that was only for an outgoing call. It was also spotty an unreliable. I could never receive incoming calls from my wife either.

This is definitely not looking good for the upcoming travel to Korea and Taiwan. Gonna have to try to figure something else out Bad thing is I already ended up committing to rent the Wifi Korea hotspot so we'll be stuck with that most of the time. It's a shame they block GV over there


Funny thing is, I am able to receive GV calls just fine over VPN on my Macbook Air. I still have yet to try with the Ipod Touch but that may end up being what we come to rely on for calls over there... we'll see

Update: I just tested out Google Hangouts via VPN Unlimited and was able to make and receive calls to my GV number with very little problem on the Ipod Touch. Sucks that I have to rely on another device just to make/receive phone calls but I think that's the best way to go at this point. The Android solutions seem spotty at best. I really wish Google would get their act together and get GV integrated into Hangouts for Android. It's ridiculous they still haven't gotten it over at this point in time.
