If you're a Google Voice user, consider downloading GVIntegrated. This new jailbreak tweak integrates Google Voice within the iOS, allowing users to make calls via the service from the built-in Phone app.
It's already possible to access Google Voice on an iPhone, though this can only be done from within a third-party app. However, if you have a jailbroken iPhone, the $2.00 "GVIntegrated" package allows users to make a call using Google Voice, when a number is dialled in the Phone app. As you can see in the above screenshot, a pop-up message asks users whether they wish to make the call via their carrier, or using Google Voice.
As explained by the tweak's developer, Justin Williams:
Unlike other Google Voice apps, GVIntegrated’s primary user interface is the same Phone application you already use. GVIntegrated allows you to specify which calling experience you prefer globally as well as per contact.Indeed, as iDownloadBlog notes, if you use this package alongside SMS GV Extension ($2.99), it's possible to natively send SMS messages and make calls via Google Voice on an iPhone handset. If you're an avid user of the service, consider downloading both tweaks. As mentioned, GVIntegrated is currently available to download in Cydia for $2.00. Take a look at the package, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
