Will Google Voice change mobile carriers?

Om Malik, over on his blog has an interesting take on the recent expanded rollout of Google Voice, formerly Grand Central. Check it out here:

Can Google be your phone company? The answer is yes. I came to that conclusion after I met with Vincent Paquet, co-founder of GrandCentral (a company acquired by Google) and now a member of the Google Voice team. Earlier today he stopped by our office to show the mobile app versions of its Google Voice service for Blackberry and Android. Google recently announced that it was going to make the Voice service widely available to users in the U.S. soon.

These mobile versions of the Google Voice service will allow folks to not only manage their Google Voice connections –- to access and playback voice mails, send and receives SMS messages and read message transcripts — but also make local and long distance calls from mobile phones. The apps are fully integrated with each phone’s contacts, so you can call via Google Voice straight from your address book.

    Will Google be charging for the long distance calling? Having trouble wrapping my head around how this would work!

    I signed up to get an invite for GV months ago, and just got my link in. Its going to be very useful for my local organizing activities.

    Google Voice is an absolute lifesaver. The features of it are amazing, take for example the ability to have a brand new number. I’ve got a few extra invites. Also I hope that Apple rethinks the GVoice App, hwo could such an killer app get killed by Apple?
