Gizmo5 migrating PSTN numbers to Google Voice soon

All these little tidbits related to Google's impending Voice moves are cropping up this post-Thanksgiving week. According to VoIP Watch, after a little snooping on the Gizmo website, you can find language that details the migration strategy of Gizmo5 numbers from the old service to Google Voice.

The Gizmo5 site explains to users that they are working on their migration strategy and that no call-in numbers will expire at this time. There will also be ample notice so that users will have uninterrupted service. Andy Abramson from VoIP Watch posits a few possible takeaways from the language on the site. Gizmo user's numbers could become their Google Voice numbers for life, Gizmo5 users will have to go through a transition period where numbers will be forwarded to new Voice numbers or Google might even sell off some numbers to another SIP call provider.

I might add that if Google is migrating Gizmo5 user numbers, perhaps they will complete the merger around the same time that GrandCentral shuts down. If that's the case, notes should be going out shortly to Gizmo5 users like the ones that GrandCentral users got earlier this month and the moves will be happening fast since GrandCentral goes offline at the end of December.
