If people abuse it then they might blacklist GV numbers from being in the Fav5, it really isn't very hard to do and I'm surprised they haven't done it already.

The really big thing though is just being able to upgrade your phone every year at a reasonable price. That is a huge deal for someone like me(and I imagine a lot of people here) who wantto have the latest and greatest but can't afford to spend $400-600 on an unsubsidized phone.

I would like to say though, I wouldn't have a google voice account if it wasnt for this forum, so thanks guys and I hope you are enjoying yours as well.
True, but I meant the GV more for when I don't dial people I usually don't call (which is rare). Most of the minutes used on my family plan I'm on right now is by my mother (its shared by my mother, my sister, and I). So even if they banned GV it wouldn't be a huge loss considering I rarely used the minutes to begin with.

And true Sprint is nice with their upgrading ability. I just don't upgrade phones often (actually I just usually use the dirt cheap free phones you get when you subscribe). My upcoming next plan is likely to be my first smartphone. Whether it be the n900/Android/iPhone. I don't think Sprint has anything now that interests me besides the Pre..
