Hangouts Won't Dial My GV Number?

<< < (3/3)

OK, I got to thinking how GV and Hangouts works and how it's connected to my Goggle email account. I have a second email account. I logged onto that account and opened Hangouts. Hangouts considered this also as a new account.

I then attempted to make a phone call to my home land line and Hangouts said I need to register with a number and they will text a code. I input my cell phone number, got a code. Dialed my home number from that new Hangouts account and VOILA, my home phone rang. This new Hangouts account is not registered to my home number.

I'm pretty sure this is solved but I need to try it from my iPad as I just tried from my MAC. I hope Hangouts is not using my cell phone account to make these calls through the internet. I'll keep track of this.

If anyone has any thoughts, let me know.

SOLVED!

The only way this will work on the iPad is to get the Gmail App from the app store. That is actually the easiest way to view your Gmail anyway. Once you have the app you can create a second account or just enter the second account information you may already have. This allows you to easily switch between accounts on the iPad.

Once that is done you'll need to open Hangouts and you'll see "Manage Accounts" in the top left corner. Click on it and switch off the primary Gmail account button, the one with the home GV number, then switch on the second Gmail account button, which will not be tied to your GV home number. Then just dial home, or any other number.

I'll be using the second Gmail account only to call home in Hangouts.
