Google Voice SMS bug: outbound texts sent from random numbers

Best summarized as: "Major @googlevoice fail today. Eight texts from me to my wife came from eight different phone numbers." https://twitter.com/travispew/status/265858873498402816<p>Ongoing support thread: https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/voice/OUmPhUpujjs/discussion

This is the intended behavior. They piggy back off of a large group of local numbers. For texts they assign one to you for a short period then put it back in the pool.

A few months ago I had a Google Voice number that they also assigned to another person, while I was actively using it. Happened to a friend too.
