Comment on Google to reportedly kill Voice, integrate it into Hangouts

Comments

The issues for a LONG TIME Voice user:

1) Voice Mailbox - What Now?

2) My mobile phone number IS my Google Voice Number (Sprint)

3) Ring at multiple locations (Isn't valuable to me anymore)

4) The google.com/voice web page is a lifesaver for searching through my text, and voice mail. (Most Needed Function)

I am also a long-time Google Voice user. It's been my primary number for about 5 years now.

The issues you raise are all irrelevant, except for #4. They are not killing off Google Voice phone numbers or functionality. They are just rolling it into Hangouts.

I don't know what they are planning to do with their google.com/voice web property though.

Also MMS support. I know this works for certain carriers through some sorcery but for regular GV users we're stuck with hacky solutions.
