Sprint, Google Voice integration gets April 26th launch date

mobile

Intel gathered by blog Android Central indicates that Sprint and Google will make their Google Voice partnership ready for prime time on April 26th. The venture, which was announced last month, will allow Sprint customers to seamlessly integrate their current wireless number with Google’s Voice service. Calls and texts sent from your mobile device will be logged by Google Voice’s online system, and calls can be made from the browser using the service’s VoIP feature. International calls made from linked mobile devices will automatically route through Google Voice — which offers deep discounting on international voice traffic. The feature has been available in beta for the last few weeks, but it looks like the two companies are finally ready to let everyone in on the fun.

    I was able to do this today. Was sent an email from Google, then an hour later they sent another email apologizing because it wasn’t active yet, but saying it would be ready on our accounts in 15 minutes and it was.

    Any word on whether you can have multiple Sprint phones on the same GV account? I would love to be able to have a smartphone and a dumbphone with the same actual number, but I’m afraid that would be too cool to happen.
