My area code is not available, and I am not able to transfer my GV number either.
I really want to keep this number so if they don't soon add other area codes in my state, I will have to look elsewhere.
Is there some reason that forwarding calls to your GV number to an obivoice number is a problem?
It looks like as of now, that's my only option if I want to use a GV number.
Problem doing it that way? Not really, as long as the service is reliable.
Might be worth testing.
Thanks.....

I wonder if they charge to issue new phone numbers. I intend to keep my GV number so I can give out one phone number for everything. I need to keep an eye on this. I think there will be more deals coming down the pike the closer we get to May 15.

Just signed up for the free 60 minutes to test out Obivoice. Set up was easy and my forwarded GV number rings my ObV within 1 ring or less. Currently was using a free DID from CC, and the forwarded GV number would ring my Obihai after at least 2 rings. Some calls wouldn't even ring the Obihai and those calls would end up in GV voice mail. Seems like about 20%-40% of my incoming calls would not get sent to the free CC DID. So it seems for now, ObV is more reliable. Spoofing my GV number, and it shows up fine as the number in caller ID.

GV forwarding problems to the free CC DIDs are long known and ongoing.
You may want to try a free IPKall DID as there have been fewer reported GV forwarding problems with them.

Yup. I had issues with that. Delayed rings, walkie talkie effect, etc. I even had those issues with a paid CC DID. Not sure why though. When I ported my GV number to CC though, the issues went away, same with Obivoice.
GV must not have liked me very well. :)
