Works great for Canadian users!
Im not sure why all the negative reviews by Canadians. Perhaps they didnt read the information on the main page or they dont understand what this program is and what this program isnt (for example, it isnt a VoIP program like Skype)
If you are outside the US and DONT already have a Google Voice account, DONT purchase this program. You ABSOLUTELY NEED a Google Voice account in order to use this program. Get a Google Voice (not the same as GoogleTalk) account first. Once you have a Google Voice account, regardless of what country youre in, GV Mobile+ works GREAT!
That being said, it currently takes extra steps to get a Google Voice account outside the US but the author doesnt deserve a negative rating for Googles restriction on Google Voice. Ive been using this program with my Google Voice account in Canada without any issues or magic number errors (I disabled multiple sign in within my Google settings).
If you want a Google Voice account and youre located outside the US, youll need access to a US proxy server that masks your non-US IP address in order to create your Google Voice account. You will also need a US phone number.
Im glad that GV Mobile+ is available to people outside the US.
Im in Canada and I already have a Google Voice account and GV Mobile+ works very well on my iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.0.1. It allows me to call the US for free using my data connection to initiate a voice callback to my US number which forwards to my Canadian mobile phone which has free incoming.
My only negative comment is that the author of the program isnt responsive to tweets (Im not sure how responsive he is to his e-mails). I tweeted him about 5 times and never received any response or acknowledgment. He does seem to selectively reply to his tweets.
The reason for my 4 star rating as opposed to a 5 star rating is mainly due to his selective responsiveness in tweets since I dont really have any issues with the program itself.
