Actually, I had no idea this violated their terms of use. It's the only reason I signed up for T-Mobile in the first place! :) I've been using it for just over two weeks now without issue.
- Legion 17y agoThis page has a blog post where some people pointed out the terms of use violation: http://devin.reams.me/free-google-voice-calls-with-t-mobile-myfaves/ http://devin.reams.me/free-google-voice-calls-with-t-mobile-... Apparently the text that it violates is: "Your five numbers must be US domestic numbers and must not include ... customers' own numbers; and single numbers allowing access to 500 or more persons." I think you can easily get away with having your own Google Voice number as a MyFave. That number is unique to you and shouldn't set off red flags. What I think may be a bit more sticky is the 347-234-5001 number, which, if GV continues to take off, might get noticed because a lot of people will be "fave-ing" that specific number. Just something to think about. I'm not sure yet if that thought is going to deter me or not from doing it myself. I'm leaning towards "no". :)
- secret 17y agoThanks for the heads up. I just looked into my account and noticed that the dialer access number (347...) that GV is using changed for me. It seems like they are adding more numbers as it grows. What would entirely defeat the myfaves trick is if the dialer calls a random google number each time (of course I'm sure then there would be a competing 3rd party GV app that let you specify a number).
