[QUOTE=Courier99;1916610]GV number is tied to your account, not to the app. I have had mine since before it was officially Google Voice (Google bought Grand Central).
Mine is 919, they usually have at least a few numbers available from all area codes that still have numbers available (don't expect a 212).
Taking calls they wouldn't know it was a GV number. If they call a GV number I'm not sure how they would know either. Called ID is passed and captured as expected for GV.
The big drawback to GV is that it does not do multimedia messaging (pics, videos), just regular text.
So far the only odd numbers I have dealt with that are a dead giveaway are Skype calls, they always seem to come up as 865-6696 which spells out UNKNOWN on the keypad.[/QUOTE]Well then I stand corrected. On occasion, though, I've contacted a provider, and the robot will say something like, "Google Voice will try to connect you, please say your name.
I'm not trying to say RMM is better, just that it's another option, one that is particularly appealing if you prefer that a number never be able to be traced back to you, or if you don't want the expense or hassle of a burner.
