Glad you got it set up. I do have the Google Voice app installed on my Android because I use my Google Voice phone number as my primary number. So when I call out, I want the other phone's caller ID to show my Google number, not my actual cell number. I could do this with Hangouts dialer too, except that that will use mobile data if I'm not on WiFi, but the Google Voice app uses just phone minutes (by relaying as I said above to Google's US phone numbers). So I won't use mobile data when I'm making/receiving calls. This won't work in Europe of course - over there I'll have to use Hangouts.

Following a recent Hangouts update, when using Android 5 on Nexus 5, in an SMS conversation with a contact, touching the "handset" icon automatically launches the Hangouts dialer, while I would like to use the default phone dialer instead.

If you clear the cache on the dialer (hangouts dialer), it should prompt you the first time after that (when something triggers the dialers) asking which dialer to use. You can select "always" on the regular dialer. This will use your cell service, not Hangouts.

If you've used the Google Voice app in the past, you may have set it to use your Voice number when making calls. These calls still used your carrier minutes, instead of your data signal. As a solution, Google created a second app that acts as a plug-in for Hangouts, called Hangouts Dialer. This app will add a dialer tab to Hangouts, allowing you to make outbound calls with your Voice number over Wi-Fi/data (VoIP). After you download the app, make sure to open it at least once to connect it to the original Hangouts app. You do not need this app to receive video calls via Hangouts.

If you want to use the stock dialer app on your device but have your Google Voice number appear on caller ID, keep the original Google Voice app and select the use Google Voice to make all calls in the settings.

Last night, we were prompted to merge Google Voice with Hangouts, which we assumed meant that the day of Hangouts becoming the app we always wanted, was here. Google confirmed as much this morning, announcing that free voice calls are now a part of Hangouts on Android, the web, and iOS. They also introduced a new dialer application for Hangouts that should aid in the call making process.

As long as you're making "pure GV calls", those will be data-only. I don't think the Hangouts dialer allowed (or didn't used to, it's been over a year since I last used it) allows for a "carrier option".

It sounds like you're very "aware" now though, of the dialer settings, so you just need to check it, periodically. Events like "app updates", to the GV-dialer-app, and any sorts of "app data reset(s)" can change this back, to the default (which is likely carrier-first).

And to make phone calls through your Google Voice number, you're going to need the new Hangouts Dialer app, which also requires that new v2.3 of the Hangouts app. Things get a little funny here, because once the dialer is installed and you open Hangouts or open Hangouts Dialer, they look and function exactly the same. So pick either one you want on a home screen. Doesn't matter which. (The dialer app icon is kinda cooler. And, yes, this means you have yet two more duplicative apps. But that's another conversation for another day.)

Additionally, if you do choose to go all-in with Hangouts calling and check the option in the settings to receive calls made to your Google Voice number via Hangouts (and therefore VOIP), you'll want to tweak your Google Voice device settings. On the Google Voice website (google.com/voice), go into your settings and uncheck the box next to the phones you plan to use with Hangouts calling. If you don't, your phone will actually ring twice for every phone call simultaneously as both Hangouts and the native phone dialer both ring for the incoming call. It's quite startling the first time it happens, and we hope Google has a way to fix this going forward, but right now this has to be done.

Today Google announced that Google Voice is finally being integrated with hangouts. Google Voice has not received any attention in a very long time, and even though hangouts for iOS has supported free VOIP (WiFi) for quite some time, Android users have never gotten an official VOIP app until now. ff782bc1db
