I’ve already migrated nearly all of my voice calling over to Google Voice. Since I use a new cell phone a maximum of about 6 months before trying another – I’m finding it very useful to have one phone number that any of my contacts can reach me at. Even better that the number also works for texting (both receiving and sending). Google now has an offer for Google Voice account holders.

Wonder if this is a limited offer, a la Google’s usual modus operandi? No logo at my account’s lower left and can’t find a link to the offer.

This seems to be an offer that comes and goes. I was able to get a confirmation for my order and then others started to say they were not seeing the free offer.

Wayne can you comment on this; I’m hesitating to go public w/ my G.Voice # since I’d be trusting two systems to have to work perfectly to make my phone ring. Google down, no calls come. When ppl call my cell directly it rings. Obvious advantages of call screening / blocking, emails of voicemails thru G.V. all duly noted. The mindset of trusting a free service which owes me nothing with more and more gives me pause, but I’m doing it. I sync my iPod Touch calendar to G.Cal, & use Gmail as my mainstay.

It’s definitely a leap of faith. I think there’s always a point of failure (ever have a voice mail pop up suddenly on your phone even though it never rang to let you know there was a call?).
I don’t use this as my main business number but I now give it out as my cell phone number because it lets me freely and easily switch phones depending upon which model I’m carrying.
This also is useful for anyone who wants to redirect incoming calls when they go on vacation or just send them to voice mail instead of ringing at all.
Agree on the risk but I think the downside is minimal here.
