Porting out of Google Voice | Matthew Seeley. For those who haven't used it before, Google Voice is a half 'voice over IP' and half 'number virtualiation'. When you connect your phone with Google Voice, it automatically logs your text messages, calls, and voicemails (including transcribing them to text messages or e-mails).
The service also allows you to make cheaper international calls, and route calls to different, or multiple phones at once, among many other features. Google Voice has many features, a list too long to repeat here, and Google offers native Voice clients for Apple iPhone / iOS and Google Android devices. By default, when you sign up with Google Voice, Google gives you a 'Voice Number', that compliments your other phones. The important part here is that many of the features only work if you use your Google Voice number as your main number. Sprint subscribers can resolve much of this automatically, by using the native Google Voice to Sprint integration. And for non-native users, there are drawbacks to Google Voice.
