Simpler Way to Make Unlimited Free Call on Your Cellphone with Google Voice

I misunderstood that I could call for free with Google Voice. But even if you use GV for your call, it uses your mobile phone call, so you will use your minutes or be charged. Some people are explaining a solution for this problem, I mean “How to Make Unlimited Free Calls on Your Cellphone with Google Voice”. You can learn from this article. BUT

But, as you can make a free call at GV web site, you can do it on your cellphone, if a browser you use on your cell can change its User Agent. I think you already understood my solution. My browser on my Android phone is Dolphin Browser, which can change its UA. When you access to www.google.com/voice by cellphone, normally you will be redirected to www.google.com.voice/m . On this mobile page, there is no “Call” button. If you change browser’s UA as Desktop, redirecting don’t happen and you can watch the GV page for desktop computer, on which “Call” button is. Now you can make a unlimited free call just by pressing “Call” button.

I can’t believe that they differentiate mobile web from desktop web this definitely. Those are getting really close and there will be no gap soon. Differentiating mobile web from the normal internet is very unnatural and idiot.

I realized that even when you use Skype Out on Android, it will be done, using mobile phone’s local call. not through the internet. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I planned to make calls by using Skype out, but it doesn’t make sense. Then I don’t need Skype In number or monthly contract with Skype anymore. I wanted to pick up a Skype call from Japan by routing it through my mobile, but it costs too much to do just that thing. If you want to make a Skype call to me, just send me an email, then I will turn Skype app on.
