Nope. People just don't don't understand that when they call someone on google voice, they aren't calling them. Google is calling both of you.

- stretchwithme 15y agoPlacing a call from Google Voice's website DOES call your phone and the other caller's phone, as you said. But that's not what this article is about. Its about you authorizing Google Voice take your number from Sprint on your behalf so a Google Voice number is used instead of a Sprint number. And the unexpected consequences.
- magicalist 15y agofair enough, but I guess my point was that, while it might be a new batch of people encountering an unexpected consequence, it's the exact same unexpected consequence. I use google voice integrated into my phone's dialer (or whatever), which means I'm initiating the call. I know that it's actually calling a google voice number and then being redirected to my destination, but what appears to happen is that I call someone's mobile phone but don't get free minutes. same thing, right?
