As we all know, Google Voice client app is currently not available for non-jailbroken iPhone users. Both GV Mobile and Voice Central clients for Google Voice were available earlier for a short period, but then they were soon removed by Apple from the App Store due to “duplicating features that the iPhone comes with (Dialer, SMS, etc)”. Later, the developer Sean Kovacs brought GV Mobile to Cydia.

What’s new?
First, it costs money.
Second, it has a ton of updates:
* Favorites
* New tab system for Contacts, Favorites, Keypad
* Landscape SMS
* Call & Add Contact from SMS main view
* International support for SMS (until Google blocks it)
* Call, Text, & Add Contact from History
* Voicemail transcriptions, new voicemail screen layout
* Call, Text, & Add Contact from Voicemail
* Local archiving of voicemail (doesn’t download every time)
* Offline dialing (via dialing GV #)
* Default Area code (for those that don’t need to dial the area code in you area)
* More data sync options (Interval, Startup, Startup on demand, manual)
* Multiple Accounts
* User selectable tab to open to
* More Google Settings : Do Not Disturb, Call Screening, Call Presentation
* The core of the updates reside in the back end programming of the app – completely rebuilt from ground up.
You will need to have a jailbroken iPhone to in order to install GV Mobile 2.0.
