Will Google Voice be free in 2013
Ostracus:
Now, now, let's no be too hard on each other. I think in his roundabout way the answer is, most likely. GV is free for what needs to be free, and charges for what it needs to charge. In other words, just like 2012.

Roundabout? I suppose if there is a hidden question in there somewhere about whether or not GV will charge you to call foreign countries, I don't see it. But the OP's question was would it be free next year, his answer was "No, it won't cost any less in 2013 that it does today, which means it won't be free. Then goes on to talk about how it is a marketing scam...the Supreme Court...what he pays for voip.ms and the going rate for downloading a movie.
The cost of using GV for Obi and other purposes has been zero, is zero and will most likely be zero in 2013. No need to be "roundabout" in answering the question.

@JohnBowler : While the wholesale costs of VOIP traffic might be near zero, there is something called termination charges = money you have to pay to the local telco to get the call processed through the local PSTN or cellular network. Those charges can be steep, that's why Magic Jack does not service many area codes or exchanges and that's why the calls to European cell phones are so horribly expensive.
MitchDeerfield:
The only way Google makes money on Google Voice is through selling long distance service out of the USA/Canada area. They might make some associated money with running ads on Google Mail or Google Voice.
As for will it be free next year, the only one who knows is Mr. Google and he won't tell us until December.

I am just curious if anyone has heard any rumors or talk of what Google is up to in 2013. I am using 1 Obi now and want to add 2 more but am waiting to see what Google does. I also have a Phone Power line that cost $100 a year, I do not think Google would be stupid enough to charge more than that and you think it would be cheaper. :o

Google won't announce it until nearly the end of the year, like last year, it was on 12/13 as I recall.
