With SkypeIn it is possible to "change called id" so you can set it to whatever number you want and when you use gv number it will forward to skypn number and that will then forward to whatever number you want with whatever caller id you want! You can also acquire a 403 number from freephoneline.ca and this is the only canadian number that GV will forward to in Canada. However - freephoneline.ca will only forward PHONE CALLS and not text numbers... you will have to text from your GV number and there is no way to change your caller id on text messaged (that I know of).

I tried GV months ago, the quality is not good, you can't use the keypad to select automatic voice selections, no use at all, there's quite a delay as well What is so useful about GV then ? besides making incoming/outgoing calls ? the display will be the google voice number, if you live in canada, how people can reach you if it’s a US number ?

The calls are forwarded to a Calgary area code and it works well. I can use the Blackberry or iPhone GoogleVoice app to make free unlimited local calls to Canada and the US. However, I could not pick a Calgary GoogleVoice number, only a US one. The functionality on theh cell is quite seamless. This is of great help to make long distance calls from the cell phone. Not having a 403 GoogleVoice number does not allow me to easily give out the GoogleVoice number, so I get only half of its functionality. I have had Google Voice for about 7 months.

This was not an easy decision for someone who has had unlimited voice, unlimited txt and nation wide plans for over 7 yrs all at a cost of $100. essentially this means i didnt have to watch my minutes in anyway or shape infact i didnt even have cds in my car i was streaming all my music through my phone. but it had to stop once i moved to Toronto. Anyway back to the point GV is amazing period, it gave me flexibility that my providers could dream of, because to them it would how can we get another $ from our beloved customer( and this is what /canadians are facing at the moment but things are about to change now that they have opened the doors to foreign competitors) and ontop of that unlimited calling to Canada for $0, i repeat $0. in the early 2000's i was paying 350 a month on LD to Canada. and if you have a gmail account all your contacts are integrated, plus if you have a smart phone like blackberry it even gets easier. in all honesty its the one thing i really miss since i moved to Toronto. i am looking into get a plan with Wind because they are the closest thing to what i was used. steve i moved from the the states to Toronto and, IMMEDIATELY i realized how the cell phone companies (telecom)in general are ripping massive profits by taking advantage of their Canadian Customers, its NUTS, and for this reason i opted not to get a cell phone.
