Google Voice VoIP Calls Will Be Live For Everyone by Next Week (androidpolice.com)

Posted by msmash on Friday January 25, 2019 @09:15AM from the about-time dept.

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.

I know slashdot is based in the US, but seriously, even in the US people should realize that US != everyone.

Who gives a flying fuck what you want. You are the product not the customer. Now sit down, shut the fuck up, and take what your given up the hoop and stop whimpering.
And do not worry. In a couple of years when we have harvested and stolen all the data we can from this shenanigan, we will simply close it down like we did with Giggle Plus.
