I'm really happy they're showing Google Voice some love.
It's certainly been neglected over the years, but despite that I've stuck with it (all the way since the GrandCentral days) because the alternative is so much worse. I've changed phone providers numerous times and also travel internationally: the fact that each of these moves would've otherwise required either complex number porting or letting people know about my new number is enough to make me put up with Google Voice's inadequacies. Plus, I love being able to manage SMS from my computer, just like it's another inbox.
I hope they're serious about maintaining and updating GV going forward. It's conceptually essential.
- panda88888 10y agoHi, sounds like you have experience with Google voice and international numbers. I haven't tried in a long time, but does google voice support forwarding to international number?
- morgante 10y agoI've never tried, since when I'm traveling internationally I always have data and just use the Hangouts app. The important part is it's totally seamless: contacts don't need to know I'm traveling and I avoid any huge roaming fees.
- panda88888 10y agoGot it. Thanks.
