Interesting. I have a Google voice number and a Sprint account but there is a question I don't see an answer to, although I haven't dug around in the fine print yet.
If I switch my Sprint number to Google voice, are mobile to mobile calls still in the unlimited mobile to mobile pool, or do they go into the anytime pool(in my case 1500 shared between myself, wife and daughter)? With a nearly teenage daughter I'd rather keep most of our calls in the unlimited mobile to mobile pool!
- mobilemonkey 16y agoI worked on the Sprint side of this a bit, had the same question early on and the answer I got was that it didn't change minutes of usage calculations...so...nNo change to how numbers behave from a billing perspective. If you're calling a mobile number and have AMA, it goes in that bottomless bucket. If you're calling a landline, it uses Anytime minutes. Same story for shared lines-- no change to how minutes are used.
- camiller 16y agoThanks for the info! So if someone calls my current Google voice number which gets forwarded to my Sprint number it would not be AMA, but if I switch my Sprint number to Google Voice control and they call that it is still AMA, yes? Sounds like a winner!
- mobilemonkey 16y agoyep, that's my understanding. If you actually sign up for GV as your Sprint number, it acts just like your Sprint number. No forwarding involved. Also, you get to keep your GV number for..I believe 6 months is the plan. It behaves the same way as your Sprint number during that time. That's my understanding right now anyway.
