Not exactly. I've had Google Voice since they started offering invites, and shortly after discovered that I could receive calls from it for free on the free software phone Gizmo....since then, Google has bought Gizmo, and improved the concept even more. I haven't had to pay a phone bill in months.
Point is, all you essentially need is a mobile Gizmo app with a data plan, and you can say goodbye to a voice plan entirely.
It's completely free to call any number inside the US. Get a Google Voice account, install Gizmo on your home PC (or wifi smartphone), and set GV settings to connect to that Gizmo number.
Say you want to call your out-of-State Grandma. Here's how: go to the Google Voice site, enter her number in the "Call" box, then press "Connect". At that point, it calls your Gizmo, and once you pick up the call, you will next hear the sound of GV starting to ring Grandma's number, and that's that. All free.
@Thom10324: Or you can just use the Google Voice extension/addon for your internet browser, or call directly from within Google Voice itself. Easy as that. I say this, because I had Gizmo (only because I keep getting spammed from arseholes I don't know and can't figure out how to block the bassturds, lol).
@MaddJP: Google Voice can call any number for free, including a Skype number. However, the Skype user will be charged since it will be considered a Skype Out phone call. Unfortunately Skype does not offer free calls within the US.
this needs PUSH sms and voicemail - works when you forward to gmail but then it messes up your inbox. probably seeing some big improvements in 2010 and sooner or later (when phone carries come around) all will need is data plan
So let me get this straight, I use google voice on the nexus one, using the internet to make and receive all my phone calls free to the whole world. So you pay 530 to get the phone, then you buy a data only plan from a cell carrier for $30 bucks a month. Seems pretty good to me, what say the google haters?
You still need voice service. Google Voice itself works through VOIP technology, but calls are still made. Essentially, you call Google Voice and Google Voice calls your contact, or the other way around where your contact calls Google Voice and Google Voice calls you.
Phone calls go through Google Voice. It acts like a middle man.
I say good luck and have fun. Don't expect carriers to let your plan slide for very long however, do you honestly believe they'll let you do that when everyone starts doing it?
I'm had Google Voice since they were Grandcentral. Unfortunately, it tries to transcribe Spanish voice messages in English and the result is not pretty.
Is anyone can Install Google Voice on HTC Sensation? Or just me?? I am from Dubai

@loumacuser - Do it! For my money T-Mobile's service is better and cheaper. I dropped Verizon (after nearly a decade), and I ain't looking back.

Nexus One + Sliding QWERTY = The godmode of all phones.
I dont give a shit about a phone being slim, aslong as it has everything a phone needs and more, it's what anyone needs,.
