Google Voice VoIP Calls Will Be Live For Everyone by Next Week (androidpolice.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Google took a long, long break from Google Voice a while back. After letting the app fall into disrepair, Google expressed a renewed commitment to Voice in 2017. It has since announced a handful of feature updates, including VoIP calling in 2018. However, that feature never actually rolled out to everyone. Google's Scott Johnston says it's almost time, though. We know that some Voice users got VoIP calling as far back as September. Like far too many Google features lately, this is a server-side change and not controlled by an app update. For some unknown reason, Google has dragged its feet rolling it out to everyone. According to Johnston, things are back on track and the VoIP calling feature will be live for all users by next week.If you're looking for another option besides Google Voice, check out alternatives.
That ship sailed a long time ago.
Not Google but NSA/GCHQ etc (and yes, they've got your google profile, DNS, torrents etc etc). It's not even a conspiracy theory anymore, just a fact.
'3 eyes' is when the ship officially sailed, 1945. They kept metadata (who people had called) on paper. We spy on England, England spys on us (Australia etc etc), everybody shares. Nobodies constitution gets 'violated'. Privacy shmivacy.
Free anon services are an invitation to poison the well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Google Voice is only available in a whopping 1 of the 195 nations on this planet.
I had an account with a competitor named Gizmo back in the day. It routed calls over SIP directly to my Nokia N810. Worked beautifully here. Then Google bought Gizmo, shut it down, and still doesn't offer anything to those living in such far-off, mythical lands as... Canada.
I'm still grumpy about that.
