So you need to make sure your number can be transferred to both the cell carrier and Google (since some, like Hawaii numbers, just won't work with Google Voice). Google Voice can only accept number ports from cell phone carriers, so you have to actually transfer your number twice during this whole process, once to a cell service and then once to Google Voice. The most important step in this whole process is the check to make sure your number can be ported. Purchase pre-paid "burner" phone or sim card and VoIP bridge.

The process was a series of simple steps. But our goal was simple, spend some money (about $70) and time (about 2-3 hours) up front and save ourselves $45 per month after that.
In order to accomplish this Google Voice and Internet phone plan we'd need to purchase a few things and follow a series of steps.

It involved transferring our landline phone number to Google Voice and then using our existing Internet service for our phone, which includes free calling throughout the United States. Both while looking around online and while speaking with our technology informed friends, one option kept popping up over and over. But our phone number has been our number since we bought our house 12 years ago, and we're sentimental and nostalgic and aren't ready to get rid of it.įeeling a bit late to the party on dropping our land line, I started to research our options. So technically, we didn't really *need* our home phone. Many of our friends don't have a landline any longer, and really the only reason we still had it was for our old security system that we replaced last year. I started to do a bit of research into the various options to drop our landline. In short, we were getting about 2-3 useful calls per month, and we were paying a lot for it. Yes, that's right, $45 for the series of telemarketing, survey, political ad, occasional Microsoft Scammer, and periodic calls from our parents, grandparents, and other people from at least one generation older than us. More specifically, I was looking at the $45 per month we were spending on our landline turned VoIP home phone service. However, the bundled services on cable seemed like it might be a good place to find some cost savings.

While dropping cable and joining the "cord cutter" movement is a possibility long term, we love TV and I don't see dropping cable anytime soon (though the new Dish Sling option is pretty appealing, and we'll see what Apple might offer in the next few months). When looking over our monthly expenses one of the first items we realized as a potentially unnecessary expense was our Comcast cable bill. And over the past few months we've been trying to take a critical look at our monthly spending in order to figure out which superfluous items can be eliminated from our monthly budget. We're always on the lookout for ways to save a few dollars by altering our approach to normal things.
If you're like us and you still have a land line, and you've been interested in how you can use Google Voice for your home phone, this post is for you. But we are, and it was really easy to setup. If that's not a infomercial sounding beginning to a blog post, I don't know what is. As of today we're saving $45 per month by using Google Voice and an OBi VoIP bridge for our home phone!
