Sheffield_Steve:
Interesting article regarding Google's Project Fi (Phone service) with a lot of discussion on Google Voice and what they see as it's future.

I moved to Fi last week. Where I live, the voice coverage was great and good quality on wifi. The problem I had was where I live. I am very rural and Verizon is pretty much the best provider. I never got off of 3G except one time. The good thing was that I canceled my account and ported my number back to Google Voice in less than 24 hours.

Regarding GVoice and its potential shutdown: there is Ring.To which AFAIU can be used just as drop-in replacement for GVoice.
Regarding Fi: I switched to it from GVoice. So far I have some complaints but not to a degree of cancelling service and switching to something else.
SteveInWA:
There is no "potential shutdown" of Google Voice. That article was poorly-written gossip, with no actual research. Project Fi is just that, a mobile technology showcase "project". It's run by an group at Google independent of GV, and they've collaborated with the Voice team to ensure that the services can coexist.
As the saying goes, "Nothing to see here, move along."
