Google Voice Teams Up With Sprint 115
bhagwad writes "Google announced today that it was teaming up with Sprint, which will allow users to seamlessly use their Sprint mobile number as their Google Voice number and vice versa. This is quite a big step for Sprint and shows a lot of guts, since carriers have always been wary of giving up control. Though GV allowed users to port their phone numbers some time ago, this tie-up makes it easy and could finally propel GV into the public's mass consciousness."

And MMS. I love google voice. It's how things should work. If I'm on my computer, I can text anyone and read it on my computer. Voicemail I can listen to on my computer. The transcription will at least get me in the ball park on what the message was.

When is GV gonna allow Multimedia Messaging?
I am stuck in 2002 with my 2010 phone.
How is MMS even relevant these days? My wife and friends send pictures to/from our mobiles all the time using this really cool technology called e-mail. Personally I always hated when someone would send me an MMS message- why send me a message that I and you have to pay for, when you could just send it via email and its free for both parties?
