    Google Voice - You can now get a GV number if you were using your own with GV

    If you had your GV set up to use your existing number and wished you could change to a Google Number, you now can (couldn't do it previously). Just go to your GV account on the web, click settings and next to your phone that is listed, you'll have the option to get a google voice number. Not sure exactly when they added this, but for a long time, you couldn't add a GV number if you didn't pick that option when you signed up.

    That option was listed last month when I signed up....

    I signed up to *not* get a G number, and there was a link in my GV to get a GV number when I wanted one....

    You do get the transcribed VM to email or sms without having a GV number... I was using that before I noticed that I could now get a google number with my non-google number GV account. But, there are several other features that only come with a GV number, so I felt it was worth it to add the number to my account.
