a lot of what you're saying is untrue. 1. https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1316844?hl=en https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1316844?hl=en you can port your number out of google voice. 2. I highly doubt google voice is going anywhere with Google's commitment to mobile. 3. The voice message app was updated last year. Yes it hasn't got the full treatment, but I assume this is because its primarily a background service. sms is done primarily through your favorite messaging app and phone calls can be made all the time through your gv number or you can choose when making a phone call. 4. You're not forced to use dialer. GV can be set to prompt you to ask you when using dialer or just use your GV number everytime. Your last point makes no sense and is completely false. I have hangouts, google voice and route my number to my phone. Calls come in through the main dialer app.
