My expectation of Google Voice going away has kept me from doing more with it or many other Google products; what&#x27;s funny is that by showing even token effort they could easily turn me into a $5-10&#x2F;month paying customer instead of one who actively avoids depending on anything Google.<p>As it is I&#x27;ll keep paying my money to my lightly used long term online fax service and perhaps at some point I&#x27;ll switch over to a paid SIP provider.<p>As for GOOG-411 isn&#x27;t it pretty widely accepted that it was free to build up a large pool of voice data without the privacy concerns of using Google Voice customer voicemail? Its end was guaranteed once they had enough training data for minimum viable voice recognition - on the same kind of phone microphones even.
