Google Voice now works on your mobile number
's blog —
Google is using another clever tactic to get mobile users to use their service. Today on the Google Voice Blog , they've announced that Google Voice is available to people who don't want (or aren't sure if they want) a Google phone number. Google asks that you use your carrier's option of voicemail call forwarding (supported by just about every carrier) to connect your incoming calls to Google's servers. Here's their video of what's actually going on: Google states that you'll get a lot of the functionality of the full Google voice but not all of it: If you sign up for Google Voice with your existing number, you'll get: If you ...
Google brings Google Voice to your existing number, but it comes with a catch
Gadgetell —
Section: Communications, Web, Google Google has just kind of, sort of followed up on an earlier promise and at the same time dealt another potential blow to some of the wireless carriers. That announcement, Google will now allow users to use their existing number with Google Voice.
Of course, like I mentioned in the title, this does come with a catch. To begin with, you will still need to be invited into the Voice service. That comes as expected, however the real catch comes in the form of a little tease.
Those users who choose to go with their existing number will not be getting a full Google ...
Google Voice lets users keep own number
Electronista | Gadgets for Geeks —
Google on Tuesday rolled out a new version of Google Voice for those that don't want to change their phone numbers. Rather than route calls through a central number, the new tier uses Google Voice solely to provide visual voicemail for existing phone service. As before, messages are saved as files online and also converted into text so they can be heard or read online. The feature doesn't preclude checking usual voicemail and also doesn't lock the messages to Google; if a customer switches carriers, the messages follow as well. The lighter-duty option reinforces Google's view of Voice as a pseudo-VoIP service and comes amidst plans for an ...
Google Voice Lets Users Sacrifice Features to Use Their Mobile Numbers
Google Watch —
Part of the magic for those who signed up for Google Voice, the phone call management application rejected by Apple and vilified by AT&T; for skewering network neutrality principles, is that they get to choose a special Google phone number that will ring their home, work or mobile phones.
Users of the service also enjoy using voicemail transcription, call recording, call screening and SMS-to-email, among other nice features.
But not everyone wants another phone number to use, even if it rings all of their active phones. To that end, Google moved a step closer to number portability today by offering a tradeoff. The company ...

Google Voice Lets Users Keep Existing Numbers
Gearlog —
In the off-chance that wireless carriers weren't already threatened enough by the nearly universally positive response being given to Google Voice, the company has just positioned the service as even more of a potential voice plan replacement by letting users keep their existing phone numbers.
New Voice users who opt to keep their existing numbers won't get quite as many features as those who choose new Google numbers. SMS via e-mail, a unified number across phones, call recording, call blocking, and conference calls won't be available, but those users will still get online ...

You Don't Need a Google Number to Use Google Voice

In the past, if you created a Google Voice account, you would have to get a Google number.
