I'd say that with Google, chances are that they just stop offering the service.
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoWhen Google Voice was brand new I snagged me a number. (Since lost because I did not respond to a prompt to keep it alive, or something?) I wonder if they anticipated the cost of keeping those around for decades. Managing someone's personal phone number is a solemn commitment that you can't just drop willy-nilly.
- thfuran 2y agoThe only solemn commitment Google has is to the bottom line.
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoAren't they still supporting old Google Voice numbers though? I don't see how they could be making any money on that.

- thfuran 2y agoThat's one of their older services. I assume they really like the data they get from it.
