Yes, in fact I have had Google Voice for about 5 years now dating back to when it was GrandCentral with no issues.

I chose the first option. I replaced my GV number with my Sprint and everything seemed to work great at first but within a few hours I noticed an issue. It could have been an issue from the start however, I was completely unaware of it if that is the case.

The whole situation has made me quite hesitant about trying the process again even with knowing the solution.

I chose the second option myself. I don't blame you for being hesitant; I would have been as well. I'll cross my fingers. Thank you.

Guess most of you are the lucky ones. Everytime I try to go in and integrate my sprint number with google voice it tells me it can't be done and call sprint to find out why. I'm not overly worried really. I already have a GV number that works great.

I was able to integrate seamlessly, after telling it to pass SMS through to my phone I could use all of the same software. Also you need to turn OFF the notifications for GV or you get two for every text message.

But now I have the full functionality of Google Voice on my sprint number, including call forwarding, recording, screening, listen in to voicemail... etc. It's great.

So I gave it a try and did the full Sprint Google integration. All I can say is that it is most definitely not for me. I had not quite a stellar time for the brief period that I used it. Text messages weren't being sent thru, MMS messages couldn't be viewed... reasons enough to disable the service, which was probably the easiest thing to do (Just in case you all try it and figure its not for you. All you do is go into the settings and click the checkmark next to your phone number).
I see now why it's probably just easier to use GV number(if you already have one, or to just make one up, if one number isn't enough haha... of course, I understand the need for a business line or something similar), instead of the full Sprint/Google integration IMO.
Share your experiences.
Thanks

There is two options in google voice that allow you to receive text and mms messages to your normal client. Instead of google voice. I like it a lot. Because when I am at work.. I have my phone 100% off and I can text as needed and check phonemail and everything from a website. better then using the remote sms clients and pdanet.
