Google Voice announced last week that it is now offering number portability, potentially broadening the appeal of the nascent and controversial service.
Previously users of Google Voice had to adopt a new Google phone number. However, consumers can now utilize their existing mobile phone numbers and gain access to Google Voice, albeit a select group of features.
In related news, Google mistakenly revealed confidential information last week in its filings at the FCC. Although later redacted from the documents, Business Week managed to get ahold of the originals before Google acted upon the error and replaced the documents originally made public.
