Google Voice: Keep Your Number, You Filthy Animal

groovyPost.com brings us this news from Google Voice: Apparently, you can now keep your old Google Voice number if you previously ported your number, either from another provider or via Sprint's new Google Voice integration. Calls to your old number will continue to be forwarded to your new primary Google Voice number, even after 90 days. The only catch: you gotta pay $20. Makes me wonder: why the heck did you port in the first place?!

Excerpt:

How to Keep Your Old Google Voice Number
After porting your primary number to Google Voice, you’ll notice that your old Google Voice number still shows up when you go into Voice Settings (Click the Gear in the top-right hand corner).
For 90 days, messages and calls to that number would automatically forward to your new primary Google Voice number.

Now, you’ll see a little link next to your old number that reads: “make permanent.” Click it and you’ll have the option to keep it forever for the low, low price of $20.
