I have Google Voice. I don't use it for outbound calls, just inbound. I'm porting it out to Twilio. $1/month for keeping the number plus $0.01/minute to receive calls (http://www.twilio.com/voice/pricing).

It'll be more complicated, but I'm not terribly shocked I have to replace yet another Google service with an outside solution.

Hurry up Mailpile.is! Before I have to move out of Gmail!

Twilio is sure complicated. It's not at all for the end users who are just looking for a ready to use service or app. It's a lot costlier.

True, but this is Hacker News. We're not the typical audience.

With regards to costlier, yes, pennies per minute are more than free Google Voice. But if Google Voice is going away in the traditional sense, having another option is worthwhile even if you must pay for it.
