Never had a charge for any calls, missed calls. NOTHING gets sent to voicemail, since it goes straight to google voice, and it hits THAT voicemail.

Now, I can't say that there is NO possible options where this won't work as designed, but as I've said I've used it for YEARS and never had a single issue.

True for me too. Forward to GoogleVoice, you get a transcript via immediate email plus the GVoice iphone app will show the caller ID from missed calls, etc. My recollection is that I still receive incoming texts directly to my iphone # but those are free.
