Google Voice Question

[Arin Whedbee]

Hi BP,

I have a quick question about using google voice. Does using a google voice number affect your phone bill?  I have found mixed answers from my research so far.

Thanks,

Arin

The traditional Google Voice is just a forwarding service. So, no, it doesn't affect your phone bill.

Google has come out with another type of VOIP service (can't think of the name at the moment) where you buy a small little box and connect it to your home wifi. That box or the service does cost money, but I don't think that is what you're talking about.
