Is there a substitute calling app that is better than my native calling app on my Moto E4?
I just switched to Verizon on red pocket. And the additional calling settings in the phone app have disappeared. Been on the phone with them for a long time and Verizon and can't get it fixed
They suggested that I try another phone app that might get it to work?
I have no recommendation, but I'm curious.....
What settings have disappeared?
Is your Moto E4 a factory unlocked version, or an unlocked-carrier-branded version?
(I might guess a Verizon version, but never before on the Verizon network.)
Hmmm....googleize my phone calls, makes me wonder...
How much info about me & my activities would this be sharing with the goog monster - and, does it 100% replace my dialer with phone AND GV (wifi-only) capabilities added ??
GV is free, but you're really handing over data and possibly your secrets to the devil for it. That said, the new GV app can make calls using wifi, mobile data, or use your carrier minutes, so it can almost replace your native dialer.
From the GV app settings: "Making and receiving calls"
Prefer Wi-Fi and mobile data
Make and receive calls over Wi-Fi and mobile data when available. Carrier rates may apply if Wi-Fi is unavailable.
Use carrier only
Google Voice calls will use your phone's carrier minutes instead of Wi-Fi or mobile data. Carrier rates apply.
I use Google voice for a sperate number. It is a backup. In case I only have wifi area
Don't want to try to mix the two numbers on one app
Thanks tried rp. Att and it sucks in my area. Half time 3g data. Dead area. ECT
TMobile Redpocket is better outside but signal at home bad -120db. Someone got a window booster so TMobile up to -100db. Also TMobile can not use YouMail. For whatever reason
I will test Verizon redpocket cdma outside tomorrow and this week. If signal is better and the fact I can use YouMail I might have to live without the caller I'd block thing
It is just showing phone number and wireless caller not name

I'm afraid google already has it's hooks pretty deeply into my data and my secrets. I don't particularly like it, but I also haven't been willing to go to extremes to prevent it. Is there a reason to suspect GV mines more than GMail, Google Search, Google Play, Google Contacts, Google Photo, Google Calendar, etc? (I don't use the last 2, but haven't avoided the others.....)
