Google Voice will let you port your current phone number for $20 -- soon
One reason users shy away from Google Voice -- or any alternative calling solution -- is because they can't bring their existing phone number with them. That could all be about to change, however, as several users happened upon an option to port their number to Google Voice. After checking to make sure Google is able to port a given mobile number, a $20 payment via Google Checkout is all that's required.
The option has apparently disappeared overnight, with Google telling our friends at Engadget that number porting is currently being tested with a small group of Google Voice users. No ETA was given for general availability, but Google assures that it's part of their master plan.

Wonder what my termination fee is with Verizon? My YouMail account for like $25/month is annoying in terms of costs compared to google voice. Been thinking about change for a long time.

Until Google Voice allows MMS, I can't fully rely on it as my catch-all number.

Sounds great. Only they won't be able to charge for a number port in Canada. Number ports are considered a part of doing business here and can't be charged to the client, i.e. us.
