Keeping a US phone number via Google Voice. [View all]

Has anyone had an experience with porting their US cell number to Google Voice and Google Hangouts, so that they can actually drop their US cell provider.
It's presently costing us 98USD per month on T-Mobile to maintain our numbers. We're 'roaming' with them and suspect that they will soon cut us off. Unfortunately for banking and financial stuff we need to keep a number where we can receive texts.
I have searched and get contradictory answers.
Any advice will be useful.
