Some issues with using Google Voice for your primary number: Some banks won't allow you to use a Google Voice number for SMS 2factor auth. Also, group messages and messages with video/pictures don't display nicely in the Google Voice app

What's this?
Carriers manage network congestion by assigning different QCI (QoS Class Identifier) levels to different types of traffic. The higher numbers mean lower priority. Deprioritization isn't the same as throttling. QCI only affects your speed and latency when the network is busy, e.g. in a crowded stadium, downtown, maybe Walmart. But if the network is clear, you'll get full speeds. Prioritized users may see 20–50ms latency, while deprioritized users might see 100–150ms, even if speed tests appear similar because prioritized traffic goes first. it's like a toll highway that prioritized traffic.
