Yes since all the SMS'ing is done through your phone.

#351. Another instance where (google.com) is quite misleading. 2. The screenshot, and this is as politely as I can put it, makes the app look quite unfinished.
Re: 1 - we linked to the chrome page because that has the most complete info about the application, plus user reviews.
Re: 2 - we'll surely admit that the UI is not great right now -- but we are improving with each release. we want to get it out to people as early as possible, though, so we can get real feedback and build accordingly!

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because everybody I know has my real phone number.
If that is indeed the only thing stopping you from using it, you can port your existing number to Google Voice. http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/port-your-existi...
Many people are stuck in long term contracts with their carriers. When you port your #, it breaks that contract.
This is definitely not for everyone, but if you look at the comments from users, you'll see why people are using it:

#39This is almost -exactly- what I need. What would make it -killer- is a client app for my Xoom honeycomb tablet in addition to the chrome extension. If I could respond to texts received on my phone without having to put away my tablet, that would be amazing.
Google Voice!

That's pretty cool - although it's having trouble matching up some of my messages to contacts, and threading them.
