It appears number portability and iPod Touch support is not on their priority list. I have no clue why. With those two features, personally, I would be free from cell phone carriers.
- bmelton 16y agoTo my understanding, it doesn't implement calling functionality -- you have to have a number for the Voice service to call to. It isn't a VOIP client like Skype, so I wouldn't expect this to support the iPod touch any time soon -- unless you were planning on using it to forward to a Skype number or something like that. It's really more of a telephony abstraction than a client.
- loire280 16y agoIt does essentially give you number portability. 1. Set up Google Voice to forward your GV # to your cell phone. 2. Install the Google Voice app to get push notifications for SMS messages sent to your GV #. 3. Give out your GV # instead of your cell phone number. 4. Change the forwarding rules at will -- you can even use the same number for multiple phones.
- irons 16y agoNumber portability in this context means the ability to use an existing number with new service, not the ability to use a new number which points back at your existing number. Google's been on the record for several years as hoping to support this in the future. http://www.google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=115102 http://www.google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...
