Guide for switching to Google Voice. AMA if you have any questions.

Benefits:

  • All your devices will ring at once. If someone calls your phone number, all your Android phones, Android tablets, landlines, PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Chromebooks will ring at once. This allows you to answer phone calls from virtually any device.
  • You will also be able to text from any device using Hangouts. You'll never need to use MightySMS, Pushbullet, Join, or any of those apps ever again.
  • You'll finally have a unified messaging setup that's significantly better than iMessage in every way.
  • If your phone plan has limited minutes, you can use Hangouts to make unlimited VOIP calls using data or WiFi. This works very well on the $30 5GB T-Mobile plan. It also comes in handy in places where you have WiFi, but no cellular signal.

Problems

  • You must use Hangouts exclusively on all your devices. Any third party texting apps will not work with Google Voice.
  • There's a slight learning curve. The voice.google.com interface is not very user friendly so it takes a while to figure out the nuances.

Scenario #1: You currently have a number from your carrier and you want to port to Google Voice.

  1. Pay the $20 fee to port your carrier number to Google Voice. This will ensure that you don't have to give people a new phone number.
  2. Get a new number from your carrier. Go to voice.google.com and add this new number as a forwarding number.
  3. Enable the setting to receive text messages in Hangouts. This will allow you to text people from any device you use.
  4. Ensure that "Google Talk" is set up as a forwarding device. This ensures proper compatibility with all your devices.
  5. Contact your carrier and disable voicemail on your device phone number. This ensures that your device voicemail does not pick up the call instead of Google Voice Voicemail.

Scenario #2: You want a new Google Voice number.

  1. Go to voice.google.com to get a new free phone number.
  2. Go to voice.google.com and add your carrier number as a forwarding number.
  3. Enable the setting to receive text messages in Hangouts. This will allow you to text people from any device you use.
  4. Ensure that "Google Talk" is set up as a forwarding device. This ensures proper compatibility with all your devices.
  5. Contact your carrier and disable voicemail on your device phone number. This ensures that your device voicemail does not pick up the call instead of Google Voice Voicemail.

.

.

Note: You have to decide between receiving calls through Hangouts over VOIP or having calls forwarded to you using the Hangouts app. If you want your calls forwarded regularly, add your secondary carrier number as a forwarding phone and check the box to enable it at voice.google.com. If you want your calls forwarded through the Hangouts app, enable incoming calls in the app settings and ensure that "Google Talk" is set up as a forwarding device.

I'll be around in this thread for the foreseeable future. If you ever have any questions, post a comment, and I'll be glad to help you.
