| | “Also White Hat never actually answers the question originally posed by Cueball.” – AFAIS he should use the #2 (the Google voice one). --[[User:DaB.|DaB.]] ([[User talk:DaB.|talk]]) 20:58, 23 January 2017 (UTC) | | “Also White Hat never actually answers the question originally posed by Cueball.” – AFAIS he should use the #2 (the Google voice one). --[[User:DaB.|DaB.]] ([[User talk:DaB.|talk]]) 20:58, 23 January 2017 (UTC) |
| − | :He sort of does answer the question: The Google voice number should be used. This is number 2, since 1 is cell, 3 doesn't do texts (Google voice does), 4 is obsolete, and 5 is work.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.214.46|162.158.214.46]] 06:34, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

| − | ::Yes as DaB said. I have corrected the explanation and made it clear the Google Voice is #2. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 14:55, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

| − | :Typical Randall to make it a list and not give you all the item. Did it with the bad projection last week, and he has done do in other cases like a long list of reasons for doing something, where you only see a small section of the list. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 14:55, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

| | The statement in the explanation that most cell phones can't save such detailed information is incorrect. Android and iOS both allow setting custom types for phone numbers.

| − | When viewed this comic on my Android phone with Firefox, the hover text got shortened to "Texting should work. Unless the message is too long, in which case..." Which I am finding funny in this context :) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.102|141.101.107.102]] 15:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

| − | "However he then makes it clear that this _will only work when he is online with his laptop_ on a WiFi connection" Not true. Google Voice can be set up to ring several phone numbers, (6 total - see https://support.google.com/voice/answer/165221) in addition the Google Hangouts app on a computer. White Hat seems to want to use his laptop for calls when he's logged in on wifi, but the Google Voice number probably also rings his cell (#1), #3 (Landline?), and maybe even the partially defunct #4, if he has not updated his settings in a while.

| − | :Well obviously he has not, since he only receives his Google Voice call when he is on a WiFi connection on his laptop... But he could fix that as you say. But as long as he has not then Cueball is screwed :-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 14:17, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

| − | ::He said that it will forward to laptop if he's on wifi, not that it doesn't work otherwise. I would assume that it will call his cell (#1) when he's not on WiFi, so the only difference between #1 and #2 is that #2 would forward to laptop if he's on wifi. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 00:31, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
