If you have an android phone and aren't using Google Voice, you are truly missing out.

Not everybody is in the USA :(

What is stopping you from telling some Goolge form you are from USA? Many companies offer free US numbers over VOIP, that you can use during registration.

For starters, GV provides USA phone numbers, so all your friends would suddenly face substantial roaming charges.

Google Voice is an unusable mess. I've literally never missed a vanilla SMS, but Google Voice regularly delivers them hours or even days late.
