If you use Google Voice, have an iPhone, or are interested in smart phones, you’re probably aware of the ongoing spat between Apple, AT&T, and Google over network neutrality and Google Voice on the iPhone (c.f. Apple’s take, AT&T’s take, and Google’s take). If you’re like me, you don’t really care who’s to blame for why you can’t use Google Voice on your iPhone: they’re probably all at fault.
You may not be able to use a shiny application for Google Voice on your iPhone, but you can use relatively new or unknown features of AT&T and Google together and against them and wind up saving a nice chunk of change in the process. This is for all phones, not just the iPhone, but if you’re an iPhone user, I’d say it’s not a bad consolation prize. I’m going to talk about two features: Google Voice’s outbound calling and your wireless carrier’s calling circle feature.
