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.
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.

> 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.

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.

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.

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.
