One thing I didn't know is you give up google voice is you subscribe to project fi. Very disappointed by this. I don't want to give away my real phone number to a million vendors.

I am at the point where I cannot keep track of Google communication products at all.

Wasn't Google voice already their virtual phone number service?

For what it's worth, you can have two different Google accounts on your phone. One of them uses Fi, the other one "regular" Voice. That's what I ended up doing. And no, you can't make Voice forward to the Fi number, but that's less of a problem now with VoIP.
