Shankar – read this http://bit.ly/VPZyy. it gives some idea of what Google's strategy might be.

To your other question, GV doesn't have a client software like Skype does. If you don't have caller ID on your landline then you're out of luck. One way to tackle it is to have GV call both your landline and cellphone for incoming calls. You can check the caller id on the cell phone and then pick up the land line. Another feature might achieve your purpose is the "listen in" feature of GV.

I have added myself to Googe Voice… One thing that i dont get is how can they offer this free… Will this not affect the income of telecom companies on long distance calls??
Related question i dont have caller id facility on my landline which i use only for calling toll free numbers…
Is there a way i can see the caller using google voice?

There is this ooma to watch out for in future. I know in the back end its all the VOIP doing the job. But ooma might prove to be a game changer if they are not another sunrocket. The technology is great. I know there is some security issues. But for normal purposes routing your calls on P2P is fine by me.

For calling to India i prefer Indiald.com… I can call 1000 minutes for $ 19.95… I started using this for the last 10 days… I believe i paid reliance unneccessaliy high amount…. I can add the numbers from india and they can call me using my minutes (Basically people from bangalore other need to STD to bangalore)… Folks can also take a 3000 minutes package for 42 $ (its not for me)…

I believe thats more preferred for me rather than glued on to a computer… You will get repetitive stress injuries if you work long time on laptop (worst option) or computer (though PC is lot better than laptop)….
