How do I receive incoming Google Voice calls using Empathy?

I have a google voice number so I can receive phone calls dialed to an actual phone number when I'm logged into gmail (via the gtalk widget sidebar).

I see I can use Empathy to make voice calls with other gtalk users.

Is it possible that I can receive phone calls when logged into Empathy, ie, that someone dial my google voice phone number, and it pops up as a call when I'm logged into empathy, the same way it does in the gtalk sidebar widget?

(Currently, I route my gtalk calls to skype, but it would be even better if this worked seamlessly within Empathy.)

I do this somewhat frequently. To set it up, I did the following:

• Went into Google Voice settings, phone tab.

Made sure it was checked:

And then I was done! I do recommend that you test your audio in Empathy before doing calls on it all the time, because getting audio to work can sometimes be a little tricky, but I haven't had a problem on 12.04 so far.

happy calling!

You can follow this trick to use Google voice number in Empathy for both make and receive free calls. I tested it on Ubuntu 12.10 and it's working fine! http://dailylifetipsandtricks.blogspot.com/2012/10/google-voice-setup-for-voipsip-to-use.html
