Google Voice Now Lets You Change Your Number. It’ll Cost You $10.

I've been using GV ever since its early GrandCentral days. I should highlight that the biggest hurdle was to pass the new number on to my contacts. Even then, the biggest hole in the concept is that when you call your contacts without going through GV's web-site, your contact sees your old/carrier number. The end result is a lot of confusion and additional time consumption just trying to get it to display the GV number when calling anyone.

Any word on a public launch date yet?

Would be fantastic if they'd let me pay them to forward my calls internationally...

AWESOME

I have a GrandCentral -> Google Voice account, but the number is in my old college's area code, and gets constant collections calls!

If only they had number portability...

I'm getting a 3GS and switching to AT&T next week, if I end up having to get a new number anyway (like my dad did), I'll just give out a new Google Voice number.
