The Consumerist blasts Google (and Google Voice in particular) for lack of customer service
Image via Wikipedia
I’ve said it before and I will say it until the day I die — the larger a corporation is, the more evil it becomes, and that’s true even if your corporate motto is “don’t be evil.” Mottoes don’t necessarily translate into actions. Well, I think maybe people are finally starting to see through the “don’t be evil” snow job that Google’s been shoveling at us — consider today’s article in The Consumerist:
If you’re considering porting your mobile phone number to Google Voice instead of to a new carrier, consider this: free or inexpensive phone services have a hidden expense: customer service. When Peter’s number port didn’t work, Google’s customer support structure left him with no real-time support options and no way to get the attention of anyone who could actually help him.
Full story here:
Google Has Great Services For Customers, No Customer Service
Many users will put up with a lot of shinola out of a company when they are getting something for free. But if Google Voice ever becomes non-free, the shinola is going to hit the fan, and I’ll bet that in no time at all there will be several state regulators and possibly the FCC breathing down their necks, as customers complain to those regulators about the abysmal customer service (or what passes for customer server at Google, which means you might as well put your complaint in a hermetically-sealed mayonnaise jar and leave it on Funk & Wagnalls’ porch).

Bill over at the PSU VoIP blog has some more goodness for us:
If you’ve moved ahead to Asterisk 1.8 in production or are testing it out, use FreePBX as your configuration GUI, and want to add Google Voice such that inbound and outbound routing can easily be configured from FreePBX, here’s a small how-to. Unless and until a GTalk FreePBX module comes along, there’s some command-line work to do, but only for initial configuration.

Adding Google Voice to FreePBX
I’ll also note that if you have multiple Google Voice accounts, it is possible to use those as separate trunks. For PBX in a Flash users (that are running Asterisk 1.8) the technique is covered in this thread. I’m sure the basic technique shown there (creating almost duplicate contexts, etc. for each additional account) would work for those following Bill’s instructions as well.
