I’m glad that Google Voice is working well for you. Although GV doesn’t yet allow you to port an existing phone number to it, many other VoIP services do have this feature. I recently did this, and cut my phone bills by about 60 percent.

We started using Google Voice a year ago and we have been very pleased with this free service and how it has simplified people getting in touch with us and leaving voice mail messages in individual voice mail boxes (rather than calling office, mobile and home) and then sending transcribed voice to text e-mails and text messages.

As my confidence in the service grew, I’ve ruthlessly cut features and services from my Verizon office phone system. The ability to make calls directly thru my laptop rather than it needing to bounce to an office line will let me go from 6 lines to 1 land line (so I can keep my legacy phone # of 10+ years). This will reduce my bill about $250 a month. That $3,000 a year savings is meaningful to a small shop.

Thanks, Google!
