Not exactly the same as normal Gmail, this option lets you keep using a custom domain at $0/month, which basic Gmail doesn't offer. To me it's 100% worth it as that was my main concern (with so many accounts bound to my domain email).

Post on Reddit states otherwise [1]

>I do in fact though still have my google voice on my personal no-cost accounts still working. Logging into each account and going directly to http://voice.google.com

>*this seems to work with already established voice accounts, and new ones cant be made for account on suite legacy anymore.

What? Where does it say you lose GV

I just went through the opt-out process and my Google Voice number still works.

I finished the personal use thingie and still have access to my GV number

The "fine print" says other business services will be removed in the future.

What would you recommend to safeguard the number?

You can transfer your GV number to a consumer Google (@gmail.com) account.
