Number portability, Google Voice and gHome
It’s crazy here in TELTUB. We are working non-stop to keep up with emails, support tickets, and new developments (how do you like having phone extensions for your business? More on this later!)

I thank all of you (on behalf of everybody here in TELTUB) for your messages, feedbacks and suggestions.

I noticed this morning that Google has opened Local Number Portability (LNP) for a limited number of Google Voice users (unfortunately not for any of us here). This is great news. We have been asked many times to support LNP. While this will be supported in TELTUB in near future, Google Voice LNP is extremely useful for gHome users.

If/when Google supports this feature users can port-in their home-phone numbers (from any provider in the US) to Google. Then subscribe to gHome and viola. They will have a full-featured home-phone based on Google Voice for only $5 per month. This plan is really not beatable for a home-phone.


Many have been already using their Google Voice phone number, as their main number but Google’s LNP support will make this even more exciting. Why would anyone not want gHome? (well, if they need a home-phone)

I think it is just for mobile phone numbers right now. Cannot port landlines yet

That's right. This is just a start though. They should/will support this sooner or later.

I bet it will not be long. So stay tuned everyone.
