Google Voice Teams Up With Sprint

Posted by Soulskill on from the said-they-wanted-it-to-run-fast dept.

bhagwad writes "Google announced today that it was teaming up with Sprint, which will allow users to seamlessly use their Sprint mobile number as their Google Voice number and vice versa. This is quite a big step for Sprint and shows a lot of guts, since carriers have always been wary of giving up control. Though GV allowed users to port their phone numbers some time ago, this tie-up makes it easy and could finally propel GV into the public's mass consciousness."

    your GV number will likely still be unsupported by nearly anything that uses shortcodes. I wish they would fix that.
