Hmmm - well these posts seem to be saying you need a phone or gateway connecting to a SIP provider and then you could have gvoice forward to it. &nbsp;I'm trying to chop out the middleman and have the phone or gateway register directly with gmail. &nbsp;

I've tested calling landline phones from gmail's new voice dial feature. &nbsp;Worked great. &nbsp;To replace the analog home phone I'd want to have a Wifi IP phone with the ability to hook into gmail. &nbsp;That is a handset that would use WiFi, obtain an IP address and allow me to login to gmail and stay logged into gmail just for the purpose of making and receiving calls. &nbsp;Does any such animal exist?

I've tested calling landline phones from gmail's new voice dial feature.  Worked great.  To replace the analog home phone I'd want to have a Wifi IP phone with the ability to hook into gmail.

Is there a handset compatible with google gmail voice?

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

IP Telephony

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
