Google Voice may offer Number Portability

Google voice 800 number portablityI talked about Google Voice and 800 numbers recently. I wanted to add something I think is necessary for the service to really take off, number portability. Although you can’t currently port an existing local number to Google Voice, (or even open a new account with Google Voice yet), they do hope to offer this option in the near future.

According to FAQs on their website, Google Voice doesn’t lock you into minimum commitment contracts, charge you activation fees, or make it impossible for you to leave. If you want to move to another service provider and take your Google number with you, they already allow that. So it sounds like they are heading in the right direction and may have portability into new accounts in the near future. Portability doesn’t matter though if you use your own ’800′ number and just point it to the local number.

    [...] doesn’t presently include 800 numbers but Google Voice 800 Numbers may follow and if they offer Google Voice Number Portability and a search function on just those 1 million numbers, they may create a big local vanity number [...]

      Thanks so much for all your help. I was so fortunate when I found this site in my toll free number quest. I was able to obtain the perfect vanity number for my new business in 1 day. I had it transferred to a Canadian provider and working within 1 week.

      You are very helpful, responsive, and a pleasure to do business with. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your service and showing me the value in it. You were able to prove yourself by connecting my 888 number in seconds, which was amazing in itself. I was actually impressed that you just answered your phone when I called; I was expecting a recording, in addition to be very prompt in returning emails. I just received your watch report today for my requested numbers as promised.
