Well playmates, just filed my taxes with Turbotax, and all the SMS validation codes worked a treat with my new bright n shiny Google Voice number

I did not say you cannot use it from outside the US. I said you cannot reach the GV control panel, if you need to change some settings, access SMS, etc.

No VPN, TOT ADSL:

I'll also mention that if you are using GV to get codes by SMS for online banking or such, they sometimes do not go through.

So far 100% success rate for SMS notifications:

Langsuan, I'm with you on this. I just tried both with and without VPN, both get me access to my google voice menu.

On the question of getting SMS messages, 100% so far. I changed my default SMS client on my phone to the google client, get all SMS's, real phone, google voice all in one place

Google voice sounds good to try.
