    I'd been wondering why they didnt bridge Google Voice to gtalk (the voice calls in google chat). #gizmo5

    Will we have to pay for our US calling now if Gizmo5 becomes part of the whole GV deal? If so... le sigh. I just got my G1 back from repairs and set up Sipdroid and GV/Gizmo so I could use my GV callout to make free calls when I need to.

    If they're gonna start charging, I'm out =\ #gizmo5

    Following that, will Google have to start playing by the same rules as the telecoms with Google Voice? They're getting away with some of their restrictions now because they are not a telecom, but this adds complexity to the issue. #gizmo5

    @zmnatz: Does Skype get around those restrictions because they are considered an overseas company, not an American one? After the whole Google Voice debacle with AT&T, I wondered about Skype myself (I have used Skype for many years now). #gizmo5

    If you are roaming for the majority of your minutes isn't that a failure on Sprints part to provide coverage that more then likely shows as an ok area on the "Coverage Map"?

    @Nanan00: I think it is their way of inviting unprofitable customers to use a carrier that provides better service in the area. It isn't always profitable to serve every customer.

    Since I moved out of sales I'm lucky to break 100 minutes off network... What is cool about this is that if it also will work on the family plan so that you could have 10 phones with everything data for peanuts.

    @Adam Blandino: I think you missed the point. "Free" calling has generally been "in-network"--Sprint has extended this off its network. So, a call from Sprint mobile to T-Mobile is included. Interesting.

    How, how did Sprint get its self together? A couple of years ago they were a joke but now they have become dead competent. "Well, considering the state of their network locally perhaps dead was an unfortunate word to use."

    I thought Sprint's "Simply Everything" plan already had unlimited calling?

    does this add international mobile numbers?

    They have this thing called an "Everything Plan" where you get unlimited texting, data, and minutes. All for $99.

    Ok. I'll admit it. I've heard much about this Google Voice, but I have yet to understand why it is so sought after. Seriously. Someone explain it to me. Why is it so awesome that I would seek to give Google yet ANOTHER part of my digital life (wonder what their ultimate plan is...?) Just WHAT does Google Voice do that makes it so dayum special?

    @Curves:

    You are paranoid. They don't use any information maliciously. What are you hiding anyway?

    On Google Voice, I, too, have been using it since GC (anyone who has it now must have), and it is incredibly useful. I'm being really selfish here, but I love the exclusivity of having it when no one else does. But hopefully they will let me test new features early or something (that home hub would be awesome and I would totally buy one). Either way, I know everyone will benefit when they release it, so I hope they do so soon. I can't imagine not having visual voicemail and caller blocking/forwarding.

    The one thing they have yet to do that seems really obvious is integrate it with Gmail, but perhaps Google is just waiting for Wave. It would work so nicely with multiple inboxes though!
