Any clue what the impact of this will be if you use an android phone without a US phone number?<p>I am currently outside of US with a local, non-SIM card, hence getting US phone calls solely over data inside the Hangouts app. (I also wonder what is ment by _classic_ Hangouts)<p>The message from google don't really provide clarity, as much as announce that change is coming. If I open google voice I have an option to prioritize "Internet connection" over my "operator".<p>So this leaves me wondering if google voice will be more streamlined inside a single app, or if it will be more restrictive to only function while having an active US number(SIMcard) in the phone.<p>I used to use skype back in the days, then Gizmo5, and have been using google voice for 11 years now, has the hn community moved on to something else that I have missed?
