Grandcentral became google.com/voice a few months back and there are thousands of americans enjoying this great VOIP Call forwarding and Phone Service under Google Voice.
Google Voice wasn't in the news for a while and people thought they are just going to shy away from the VOIP Phone Service market. Wrong! Google Voice Team was busy getting over 1 million phone numbers reserved for Google Voice users. All numbers will be geographic and are reserved with Level 3.
As most of your already know, Google Voice is the old Grandcentral which lets you make use a single phone number for multiple numbers by porting through their platform.When called it rings back to you.
Google Voice added a lot of interesting features such as call tranfer, call conferencing, Call Routing, Call Switch and of course, kept the free calls to USA service alive.
There are strong rumours in the VOIP community that Google Voice might open for everyone in June. That could be the reasons Google Voice bought these 1 million phone numbers for this launch.
Let's hope everyone can use this fantastic VOIP service. Google Voice will help VOIP Guide users in a great way. Routing our calls and hacking into SIP via google voice would be extremely easy.
There is also a strong possibility that Google might adapt a Paid model for heavy users or corporate customers.
Have you been using Google Voice VOIP Service, do let us know your feedback.

I'm using Google Voice(before GrandCentral) for close to 2 years. It works great with my T-mobile myFavs, Voice lets you call in USA for free.. thats a addon.
I have been using GV for quite a while now... the transition from GC to GV was not the best, you need to manually migrate your contacts etc. however, the service is much improved over GC... they did away with the need to press 1 to accept a call, if you choose to disable this option which is great for answering cell calls with a bluetooth headset with out needing to dig into your pocket while driving to press 1... the voicemail transcriptions are good, but could use some improvements - not always very accurate, but a time saver so you do not have to call back to listen to voicemail you can get it transcribed into text in email and a text message... the ability to call into GV then dial out allowing your GV number to be displayed on the CID of the person you called is useful, as well as doing away with long distance charges for those who still pay extra for that sort of thing... but it is annoying, and most time I just dial numbers directly... adding SIP would be a great improvement, and I would love to hear more info about adding SIP functionality to GV. I already know you can forward GV calls to gizmo and get incoming SIP calls, but I would love to be able to make outgoing SIP calls thru GV...
No too sure if it will be available for non-US customers
