How is this different from google voice which is free?

I wouldn’t be shocked if it were actually just be a reboot of the same Google service proxied through Mozilla to recapture some lost market share.
Google Voice is US & Canada only, I believe.
Unfortunately Relay phone number masking is too, at this point in time.
Even if it was identical i'd be interested simply because it isn't Google. I used to have Google Voice.
Its not identical because it’s metered and you have to give a credit card.

Why would someone pay for this? Just to stick it to google?

Why do i pay for email? To not use Google. How is "paying for your service" so obscure to you?
