Google Voice lets users keep own number
Electronista | The Macintosh News Network — Google on Tuesday rolled out a new version of Google Voice for those that don't want to change their phone numbers. Rather than route calls through a central number, the new tier uses Google Voice solely to provide visual voicemail for existing phone service.

The feature doesn't preclude checking usual voicemail and also doesn't lock the messages to Google; if a customer switches carriers, the messages follow as well.

Google Voice Porting — Numbers No, but Voicemail Yes!
jkOnTheRun — I’ve said before how much I’d like to port my primary mobile phone number to Google Voice. 95 percent of my contacts over the past 10 years have that number, so it’s part of my identity at this point.
