Scripps Employees Called 'Hackers' For Exposing Massive Security Flaw
Google Voice comes to Sprint customers, no app or porting required
Current Sprint users can now make a painless switch to Google Voice. No number porting is required -- existing Sprint phone numbers will just work. That brings the whole enchilada, including ringing multiple phones from a single number, voice mail transcriptions, and the ability to answer calls in Gmail. Other features include cheap international calling rates, per-caller customized voicemail greetings, call blocking, and call recording.
Interested Sprint customer can flip the Google Voice switch by visiting this page. There's a video that demonstrates the new service after the break.

That's simply BRILLIANT! It reminds me of SBC/ATT's partnership with Yahoo to offer email to their customers. I can only imagine the cost-savings to Sprint if they eventually move their entire voice mail infrastructure over to Google.

Google Voice is a real money saver for me, not only can you use it on your mobile phone but with a little help from some other free VOIP services, you can create your one free land line for your home or office that rings when someone calls your Google Voice number. I did this and It's great for me. Read this if you would like to see how to do this...

To me this looks like Google is handling Sprint's backend infrastructure...how else could they do this w/o porting the number?
Could Google be in the process of buying out Sprint?

Awesome news. I already use my Google Voice with my Sprint Pre (to an extent).
