Google Voice has gotten a lot better than when I first tried it when it 2 years ago. They finally fixed the annoying delay between sending a text and receiving it, as it used to be HOURS between the two, and now it's instant. That was the deal breaker for me. But recently after almost going over my text message limits again, mostly due to me and Kara texting each other, I gave it another shot and it's much quicker now. It still floors me that no one is offering free texting since it's 10 million percent (not a typo) cheaper than voice.
GV is also far cheaper than anything else for international calling. It's only 5 cents a minute to call Kara's friend in Kazakhstan instead of 19 cents on Skype or 35 cents when we were using Time Warner's phone service. Plus while T-Mobile now has free wifi calling, even after it gets taken away by the AT&T merger, GV still offers free calling to US numbers, so I'll still be set for free calling while I'm home. Which 95% of the calling I do at home anyways is international conference calls with India, Czech Republic, or Scotland anyways, so it doesn't matter what phone number I end up using.
Looking forward to having the day off on Monday!
