You can port a number from Vonage - I did.

OK - What am I missing? I port my Vonage # to VOIPo Forwarded Local Service, which then forwards to Google Voice. But GV wants to know what # to forward calls to...which then goes back to VOIPo and creates a loop. Do I need another number in the mix for this to work? Please draw me a picture so I can understand what you techies are talking about.

You're not missing anything, colo303.

Forwarded Local Service would be useful for those who want to keep a telephone number, yet not necessarily have a real telephone line attached to it. When used with Google Voice, it would be most useful if you have at least one other telephone line, such as a cell phone, work number, or whatever, where you can receive Google Voice phone calls. Put simply, it's sort of a make-shift way of "virtually" porting your number to Google Voice when Google won't allow it to be ported in.

(Technically, I understand that there are some ways of using Google Voice without another telephone line, but that's not the way the service is typically used.)

Yes, that is what I would like to know about. I only have one telephone now and want to keep that number but get away from Vonage. An earlier post said that I could transport to VOIPo using the call forward service to Google Voice...but then what has to be done to make it work with a single phone?

I think your best option in that case would be to look at a device like the OBi110, which can connect to Google Voice.

It may also be possible to simply answer the calls using your computer through Google Chat.

I'm not 100% on either method. You're probably going to be on your own trying to rig it up and get it to work.
