I'm not sure I 100% buy this. I've been reading about the death of Google Voice for 2+ years now. I'm certain the day will come, but I'm not so sure it's an imminent demise. Plus, if you look at how Google has shuttered their other services (notably gReader), they gave months of heads up to their consumers and a whole host of alternate services rose to the top.

The real question to me is when they kill the service, what happens to the millions of numbers that were created in gVoice?
