(VOICETALK.ORG) — The phone companies are afraid. They should be. Google Voice will allow their customers to get free unlimited inbound and outbound calls domestically.
Mobile Phones
Many mobile phone services allow for a certain add-on plan that allow customers to call a few select numbers at an unlimited rate – basically free and unmetered (ie. myFaves, My Circle, Friends & Family, Pick 3). If you add your Google Voice number as one of your select “favorite” numbers, then any time you call Google Voice to make an outbound call (option 2), those minutes won’t be counted against you. Since you can use Google Voice to basically call anywhere, you will never have to worry about going over your allotted minutes.
Land Lines
For use with land lines, the same concept applies. You should always subscribe to the lowest available local calling plan. Any outbound calls should be made to your local Google Voice number, then press option 2 to make a call elsewhere. Of course, you’ll usually get unlimited inbound calls which is free with most plans.
