What is Google Voice?

But that's not what Google Voice is doing. It's not using IP data from the handheld to the carrier's network.
Google Voice uses a voice calling gateway which uses your voice minutes from your carrier.
Makes no difference what occurs on the backend.
Google Voice is not VoIP.
You can disagree all you want, and you'll still be wrong.
The article on about.com is also inaccurate. If you want to understand how Google Voice works, then I suggest reading about it on Google's website, or better yet the Google Voice blog.
