just because there has been no official press release doesn’t mean it’s not gonna happen… the signs are there. It may not be a done deal but something is going on between the two.

I use Google Voice in Gmail as my home line and love it. But when I try and use it through my phone I find the lag to be dealbreaker. It feels like a second or two delay and it makes having a normal conversation impossible. Wondering if everyone else has the same experience or if you actually make (and receive) calls through your google voice number on your cellphone

This is great news! Google Voice with an OBI is awesome. 40 bucks for the OBI and I’ll have had free phone at the house for a year and a half. Favorite feature is if I don’t answer my cell, it will then ring the house phone.

It was a rumor. No-one has made any official comments or verified that any deal has been made.

So no…they are not “working on that”…we just hope they are (or that El-Goog is looking at T-Mob).

maybe those carriers are not available in their area? That’s the problem I have…

What if Google became T-Mobile? Well more accurately bought T-Mobile.

Imagine if you will a fantasy land where unlimited data is $30 – $50 a month(Depending on speed packages), with no need for voice or text packages. GVoice gets a complete overhaul into a VoIP protocol and powers the voice and text messages for said plans.

This means I can continue to make VOIP calls using Google Voice, via Groove IP.

Yep. Groove IP is good for at least another year from my phone.

Why not just use T-Mobile or Sprint? Both offer unlimited data already. Google would need years, if not decades to build out to the size that even T-Mobile is at now unless they became an MVNO.
