			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of <a href="http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html">Google Voice</a>. I won&#8217;t go into its details and assume you&#8217;ve read the <a href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/google-voice/">posts about Google Voice from Lifehacker</a>.[1. I don't know another website discussing Google Voice as comprehensive and insightful as Lifehacker. If you know any sites or blog posts that are, share them in the comments. Don't spam. I'll moderate them.]</p>
<p>So, what are my hang-ups?</p>
<p><strong>Tinfoil hat</strong> &#8212; All my eggs in one basket? I think that&#8217;s one reason <a href="/2006/01/24/switching-from-gmail-to-imap-in-9-steps/">why I &#8220;left&#8221; Gmail</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Lose my unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling, text, picture, video messaging</strong> &#8212; A lot of my friends are on Verizon Wireless. I&#8217;d be ditching them. I&#8217;d also be losing out on the Friends &amp; Family® feature in my plan.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t think about adding your Google Voice number to that list. From the My Friends &amp; Family® management page:</p>
<blockquote><p>Telephone numbers must be entered in standard, ten digit format; only domestic landline or wireless numbers (<strong>other than</strong> directory assistance, 900 numbers, or <strong>customer&#8217;s own wireless or voice mail access numbers</strong>) may be added; all qualifying lines on an account share the same Friends &amp; Family numbers, up to the account&#8217;s eligibility limit.</p></blockquote>
<p><em><a href="http://devin.reams.me/free-google-voice-calls-with-t-mobile-myfaves/">Devin Reams</a> was trying this, but later found that this violates the rules.</em></p>
<p>I got my invite a week ago. Yesterday, I got my number. But, I&#8217;m still not sure if I&#8217;m going to use it. Perhaps I&#8217;ll wait a month or two to see if Google will address questions like these.</p>
<p>Were you a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Voice">GrandCentral</a> user before Google bought them out? What can you say to my reasoning?</p>
