With Google Voice + Hangouts you can also answer phone calls from a desktop computer/laptop very easily. I'll miss that.

I recently looked into ways to do this outside of the US. Seems to be basically impossible other than using an iPhone/Mac with Continuity. :(
No, Hangouts works great for this outside of the US. I use it in New Zealand all the time.
IFF you have a GV number, which is US-only.
www.google.com/voice Should be able to make calls from there, right?
I don't think that works for receiving incoming calls though.
There’s a slider in the iOS app that indicates it might be possible to enable. I’ll have to try that when I have a chance.
