Is there a GOOD tutorial on setting up and, getting the most out of Google Voice? I've looked but, have NOT been impressed by what I've been able to find. TIA!

Lynda.com has some Google Voice classes and they also offer a ten day free trial.

Do you need to keep the number?

We just dumped the whole thing. The only people that called us on that number were phone sales people anyway... did want to have those calls come to our cell as well.

These days, your cell number is probably going to stay with you for life. Theres really no reason to change it, even if you move states.

Ok so I tried porting my home number to google and it says "We currently don't support porting from your carrier." So I assume I need to port my home number to a cell phone before I can use google voice? Can I do that for such a short period of time? Thanks for the help.

Yes. I ported my landline number to a T-Mobile Pre-Paid SIM and then to Google Voice.

Thanks steve! I get free Lynda.com via my public library. Lynda's GV tutorial is the best I've seen to date.
