Do I Need to Unlock My Google Voice Number

[dwsbeaton]

I was in my Google Voice settings and noticed my Google Voice number was shown as locked. Google wants $3.00 to unlock it. My OBi202 seems to work fine so I assume I do not have to to unlock it to continue to use OBiTalk?

You only need to unlock the number if you want to port it out from GV to another carrier.  If you originally ported the number into GV, paying $20 at that time, the $3 unlock fee is waived.

Thanks. No this was a GV number originally and not ported over. I just never noticed the locked/unlocked status before.
