I agree with you regarding getting the number out. I am especially hesitant because of my frequent changes in the past. LOL. That's why, for now, it will primarily be a good tool for my students & parents. Thanks for the tip about Avakit. I took a quick look and it seems as if it could be helpful. I didn't know Google Voice was offering business cards. I will look into that. Thanks for reading and commenting! Hi. I agree with you regarding getting the number out.

Thanks for the tip about Avakit. I took a quick look and it seems as if it could be helpful.

I didn’t know Google Voice was offering business cards. I will look into that.

It makes perfect sense: we should not worry about all the different ways of reaching someone (cel, home, office, shared school phone, ...), it's the person we want to reach, not any specific device! So having one number per person for life makes a lot more sense, and that perseon can then decide which device should ring at any given time. The only challenge is getting your new google voice number out to all the friends and business contacts and acquaintances who still have your old numbers or business cards. Google has been giving away free business cards recently, but that only solves half the problem. One very helpful tool (free) to make sure that everyone who had your old number automatically gets access to your new one is to use www.avakit.com, helped me a lot and highly recommend it!
