There are a few things that I not clear on.

Will Google issue a new phone number that you have to distribute to everyone that you would like to receive calls from? Or do you just provide them your current phone number and make your forwarding setting on the web.

On T-mobile what happens when you make or receive a call to your “Favorites” from your mobile or home phone? Will you be charged against your minutes?

Thanks in advance!

Great post. I agree, the benefits of Google Voice are outstanding. Arguably, the ability to be able to block people permanently i.e. your ex-girlfriend, without having to change your number deserves double kudos points from me. I have found that SlyDial is also a unique and crafty service which offers the ability to send people voicemails without actually having to call the person – I’ll let your imagination determine the rest, or, you can read mine here: http://su.pr/7q9ag4

This weekend I used Google Voice with a 3G cell phone and the call quality was vastly improved over my experience a 2G cell phone.

If the service would receive fax messages, I would use it a lot more regularly. That would make it a must have.

I’ve been using this since GC beta days, and do find it useful, but I really hate the fact that goog bought it and did NOTHING with it for two years now. I think it was a parry to keep it away from a competitor more than anything else.

The other real limiting issue (which should have been fixed by now) is the inability to do number portability. Someday, they SHOULD have that but it could have been done now.

Also, there are outages for the service, which yield no calls coming through. That just HAS to stop.

Otherwise, this is the same as some companies have been offering for many many years, companies like ringzero and ringcentral, which may or may not be more reliable, but they are for pay services.

I need this before I get another phone. Not quite up to James’ level, but I have 3 phones now and run into the same predicament of forgetting to turn on/off forwarding. Not to mention that fact that I can’t forward SMS, so I miss messages that way too. Google Voice please release soon to the unwashed masses! My wife will thank you and my aching back will thank you (too many phones on my utility belt. ;)

I was also lucky to have a GC account and quite a nice number too. It would be really nice to be able to add prefix to calls forwarded from Google Voice, so I could identify those coming from there (similar to what RingCentral offers).
