I made my google voice number not thinking about the area code, and I found a number that has my last name with an S at the end. I immediately took it, and then realized later that it is a Louisiana area code. I live in California. Will it cost my friends long distance to call it if it forwards to a phone that is in my area code. If it does charge them, is there a way to fix that? Thanks.

Yes it will cost them money, since it’s a long distance number, that is, unless they have free long distance. I believe you can change the number if you go to settings in the top right of the google voice page. I just looked, and it says it’s $10 to change it.
