Yes, according to this article, they’re currently testing number porting with a select group and it is coming very soon:

Uh.
Better reporting would have been if you had included at least one freaking line about what it is/does.

I use the youmail application pretty successfully. VM transcriptions are not free on youmail.

Can someone with expertience with both fire off a bare-bones comparison?

Remember, this is still just a rumor. There is one positive thing happening, however. The Beta tag has been removed from the header. Could happen, but I’m not holding my breath.

False report.

Craig Walker, head of Google Voice, says this report is incorrect.

What a bunch of crap. I have had a GC account for a long time. And while I never use it I got pretty excited when I saw the GV demos. I wa checking every day for the update. Finally got it last week…and now its going public ??!!!. I wonder if they waited so long since I had such little GC activity? Oh well..still crap..anyway, Go Google!

as long as I’m able to change my grand central, now google voice, number from an east coast area code to something more local to me now, I’m all for it!

Just set up some filters on GV. You can make it send calls only to certain numbers.

John — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:34:18 +0000

Yeah, GV is pretty darn good. Still though, I actually prefer that I’m unreachable by some people on certain numbers.

I’ve had an invitation sitting in my inbox and never took advantage of it. The last thing I need is telling my contacts that I have another phone number.

To be useful to the majority of the population, it needs to do the opposite–give your existing phone number online functionality. That won’t happen, because carriers are not crazy to hand the stranglehold they have on customers over to Google.

Even if Google Voice finally gets number porting, that won’t do people any good unless they’re willing to part with their provider forever. Without universal wifi, I don’t see that happening either.

So yeah, a nice toy, but not quite enough to shake up the telecom kingdom.

I’ve had a Grand Central account from the first few weeks. Its not all that great if you ask me. You guys shouldn’t waste your time with it.

I’m joking google voice is freakin great!!!!

From a happy Google Voice account holder, Google must have settled with Klausner and we’re good to go for new numbers!

Let’s hope this proves true. I can’t wait!

I was lucky enough to have a Grandcentral account and be one of the lucky few who had immediate access to google voice when it came out. I can tell you first hand that the product is fantastic.

I can see google moving towards a mobile solution that will not require the help of any of the carriers. They already have the spectrum, the ability to design the infrastructure and the money to make it all happen.

Goole is taking over the world.

They should give you an account if you buy the iPhone app. I am looking forward to giving this a try.
