Sprint Customers Can Use Current Number For Google Voice - WSJ.com

Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) will offer Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Google Voice on all Sprint phones, and it will allow customers to use their existing Sprint wireless phone number.

Google Voice, a phone forwarding and voicemail service, allows users to make and receive calls between their computers and phones after they install a voice and video software plug-in.

Sprint said it is the only carrier to allow the use of their existing mobile phone number without paying porting fees.

This spring, Sprint will begin selling the Nexus S 4G phone from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (SSNHY, 005930.SE), and it will come preloaded with the Google Voice Android appplication.
