- kogir 7y agoWhy? The number is portable if you wish to take it elsewhere. https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?hl=en https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?hl=en
- dougmwne 7y agoCounterpoint: I've been all-in on Google Voice since 2014 and for me it's been incredible at an incredible price (free). I use it hours per day for business and personal. Favorite features: -Seamless international calling and receiving calls while abroad. -Make/receive calls on multiple devices. I have 2 phones logged in(a flagship and a burner) and use my laptop for most work calls. Press * to transfer yourself from one device to another. -SMS from my laptop. Love the option to use a real keyboard for longer conversations. -Voicemail transcripts, which while never perfect, have been good enough to stop actually listening to my voicemails. -Being able to use VOIP, but also fall back on POTS when I'm having connectivity issues. -No more carrier tie-in. I usually have an active sim card, but if I have a few days gap here and there it's no big deal, I just use wifi.
- ci5er 7y agoSame. For me, from a bit before that - probably about the time of the Grand Central acquisition. That said - I have had a couple (depending on how you count, up to 4) pretty fundamentally dislocating and transformational life, lifestyle, location and financial dislocations and GV has saved my pathetic life.
