Living abroad, I'm still very reliant on Google Voice for the 4-5 annual calls I need to make with say my bank or credit card because they will only do certain transactions by voice. Or other services demand a US telephone number without allowing a country code because of myopic design. We really need to disconnect the need for phones for services that can be digital. People don't have landlines and there's a lot of people that would probably prefer a data-only plan since they don't make phone calls. Regular phone calls aren't normally encrypted either. At least with Google Voice I've been able to circumvent having a 'real' US number -- giving the data brokers more data points. That is until I get locked out of services like PayPal who blocked Google Voice so I have no way to authenticate (not that they have a reason to need my phone number to bridge my already-verified bank with another service).
