Does my Landline # become long distance for incoming callers?

[ricklawpsu]

Once I port my longtime landline # to Google Voice, is there any risk of the # being considered long distance for incoming calls? Or, does it stay a local # ??

Obviously, someone who does not have long distance service would not be able to call me if my number was no longer local.

Thanks

There will be no change in status for inbound calls from/for others.

Thanks, that would have been the only deal-breaker.

With cell and VoIP considering all of US local area - is there still such thing as long distance 

[infin8loop]

Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area there are "metro numbers" that can make and receive calls
between area codes in the two cities with no long distance charges. I'm not sure what would happened to the status of the free inbound calls from the "other city's area codes" placed through traditional phone service providers (aka AT&T, etc) if a metro number is ported to a voip provider.

^ This still applies, the local telco CO (central office) from which the landline originated when it was born as a landline will be forever associated with the ported number:
