Google Voice + Groove IP + T-Mobile = $30 Unlimited Talk, Text and Data!

When Google decided to make changes to Voice, they did so with the aim at unifying services. Part of their focus was in getting some third party apps, which they noted violated terms of service, to shut down. One of them, GrooVe IP, has announced they will be shuttering their service on May 15th, 2014.

Rest of the story:

this may also be due the fact, that Voice will integrate into Hangouts around that time.
 
I've been using GrooveIP like this since last year, also use Spare Phone app.

But depending on your data, you can go over your data while away from wifi. Now I'm on unlimited plan so rarely use this, unless calling someone using one of my GVoice numbers. I like this cause you can call from multiple email accts from Google on the fly.
