Google Voice is NOT going away, just the ability to use XMPP which the OBi devices use to establish 2-way calls via Google Chat. You will still have the ability to forward your GV number to another number.
If that be the case, then, say I do not port my GV number, now, just forward it to another number, I should still be able to port it, at a later time, if and when I choose?

That would work for receiving calls, but what about sending calls? Isn’t that when Google charges you?

Google does not charge for calls to the US and Canada. The problem is unless you get an alternate outbound service provider or did a little hacking kungfoo you will need to log in to Google Voice to initiate a call out. Incoming will remain seamless and free.

One thing I'm curious about regarding this last post and using the callback method, I was a little under the assumption that part of what was happening with Google was the whole "Chat" portal (which would be used to connect to an ATA like the OBi) was also going away. As in not continuing to be a selection for forwarding calls. No problem with forwards to cells or landlines. That's just my take on it with what little I know. And that would also pertain to "Calling with Gmail," i.e, initiating a call out through the Chat area of Gmail from your computer. Any solid explanation about this?
