    The Google Voice iPhone app found a very clever way to make calls.

    When calling someone, it used to first call you, you'd answer and then it would ring the other person.

    Now it seems to make a request to the GV servers and dynamically allocate a phone number to your target, then it tells your iPhone to dial the temporary number which they forward on to your target's phone number.

    The end result is seamless! Go to the GV app and dial a number, and it Just Works™

      They actually map those numbers from your google voice number to the number that you are dialing, and they never change! Keep them private. However, if you combine Google voice dial back and AT&T's A-list, you can get unlimited voice service to any number at all times of the day.

      @aaronpk The Android version always worked that way. It's a great product; scares me a little that it's free.
