Stupid question - Why use Google Voice on my Droid, what are the advantages?

[triptych]

I would love to do this too, but I cannot give up mobile to mobile. I would go way over my minutes. Also the family share plan that would let me and my girl pick ten numbers for free is too pricy. I'd love to add my gv number to that list.

Anybody know of any news that will allow gv to make free voip calls from an android device?

Visual Voicemail here. It's free and works pretty good.

I think I'm gong to give it a shot.

The standard VVM from Verizon is pretty lousy> Anyway to increase the range of vlume on VVM? I have mine all the way up and all I can hear is a faint message in the back ground, it's ridiculous. I can barely hear it if I'm just sitting in a quiet room, no way I'll be able to hear it if I'm driving or something.

Gizmo5 is Googles newly acquired voip company. Those with existing accounts are indeed able to make free voip calls, but new signups are currently closed.
