Same.

I am OK with paying $6/user/month for the new plans but they don't include Google Voice, which is $10/user/month. I would be ecstatic if they had a cheaper plan that included Google Voice or if they allowed me to migrate my Google Voice number/account to a regular Google account.

Can you port it out and back in?

It's possible for now but you lose all your history, settings, etc. And my Google Voice number has been primary number for a decade or so and thus has a lot of important stuff that I would like to keep.

I was able to migrate a Google Voice number and history from one @gmail.com to another @gmail.com - IIRC there was someone on Google support forums who I messaged with and after validating accounts they put it in some queue or something. IIRC a day or two later it was all there. Magic.

> Christ, does nobody at Google give a shit about goodwill?

I am holding out a tiny hope that maybe if there is enough negative PR, Google will create a cheaper plan or perhaps provide an off ramp for people that want to switch/migrate to consumer accounts.

I don't have a problem with Google eliminating the free tier or charging for use but the lack of a migration option hurts.

In my case, I only have one user, so it's not a big issue paying for it. But I also use Google Voice which isn't part of the standard Google Workspace package and I have to pay $10/month/user to add it.

So I would go from paying $0/year to $192/year ($6/month for Google Workspace + $10/month for Google Voice) is a bit of a pain. I am OK paying $72/year for email, etc. but $200 is a bit steep.

And if I want to migrate to a non-G Suite account, none of my history will transfer over.

Does this actually work?

The help site (https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?visit_id=637...) states that:

> A Voice for Google Workspace account number to any other type of Google Account, including personal accounts and accounts using a different Google Workspace domain.

I am confused if my Legacy G Suite account is considered a Google Workspace account of if it's something different.

Yes it works, I moved a GV number from my Legacy G Suite account to a Gmail account.

Awesome. Thank you for the confirmation.

Sucks that it won't transfer the history but I am glad that I can at least keep the number and move it over.

This change is a killer for those of us using Google Voice.

Not only do you have to upgrade to a Google Workspace plan but you also have to pay separately for a Google Voice subscription. With the cheapest plan (https://cloud.google.com/voice#pricing), being $10/month/user.
