What features at GV will still work ?
mshumack:
Sorry for the noobi question but I need to know what to do next. I have selected a new VoIP, setup an account, and am porting my GV phone number to them.
So my questions are:
Will my GV voicemail and recorded greeting still work?
With GV, when I miss a call, the caller can leave a message which is then sent to my e-mail account (transcribed to text for reading and available to play back); will this work?
I assume none of this will work since phone calls will no longer be going through Google.
Should I just delete my GV account? Do I need it for anything?
voip_newbie:
I was wondering the very same thing?
I currently use Google voice for SP1 and have PhonePower as SP2 and configured for outbound calling. I was considering switching this around (setting GV as SP2). But this may not work at all after GV pulls the plug next month.
I suppose if I deleted it completely, I would still get the notification emails for calls made to my GV phone number.

Once you PORT your number from GV you've taken GV and all of its features out of the picture. You might as well delete the account. Even if you don't port having the SP configured to GV after May 14 won't be useful.
mshumack:
Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I'll delete GV account after everything is setup with my new VoIP service.
I didn't look when I selected my new provider - but do most VoIP providers have/provide a voice mail feature like GV? For me it doesn't matter much since my Obi110 feeds into my wireless phone base station which has an answering machine. However, GV also shows "missed calls" with their respective numbers, which then shows up in my e-mail in-box which is nice.

Probably any provider provides basic voicemail, with possibly limited storage. Some provide email notifications of voicemails, with attached recording, and possibly voice to text transcription. Depends on provider.
