If you ask Google for a new number to REPLACE your current GV # there is a $10 charge. After 90 days, your old # gets removed. If you want to KEEP your old # permanently, there is a one time $20 charge.
Who would want their old number, If I'm paying for a new number?

Someone using it for their small business.
The Hardcore GV user. At the end of your 90 days you get an email telling you exactly how many people still called the old number. If that number is significant?

But you're not trying to change it. That's when you pay now.

I only use my GV number for voicemail. I do not use the Verizon Voicemail system. My Verizon number auto forwards to GV Voicemail. It's also the same area code for both of my numbers. I think it asked for the area code for me to search and choose. Changed search to City. This opened up the choice of GV.

Vzw - 906 (Upper Michigan)
GV - 316 (Wichita, Kansas are)

I set up my GV number years ago with an area code and exchange that weren't long distance for my parents and other family to call from their landlines since it was free. Now that everyone has cell phones, I've often thought about changing it to a local number. I really only use it for voicemail as others have said, but I suppose I could see use cases for the GV number to be given to someone instead of my VZW number. Maybe it's worth the $10...Not sure. Actually been thinking about it lately.
