Instructions lack detailed explanation

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Reading the current instructions.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to know what is meant by "This free application makes it dial
your own number."?  Does this mean it dials my carrier (Sprint) cell phone
number?  If so, then what is the benefit of having a Google Voice number?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version of GV?  0.3.0 on Android 1.5 (Sprint HTC Hero).


Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for the suggestion!  We'll try to clarify this in the next version.

GVMyNumber will call out using YOUR google voice number instead of a random 
access
number assigned by google.  In other words, your phone will dial out, to your 
own
google voice number, over Sprint's lines, and then dial the number you're 
trying to
reach.  The advantage to this occurring is that you can add your own google 
voice
number to your sprint "Pick 3" list, and you can make free outgoing calls.  If 
you
set up Google Voice correctly, you can also get free incoming calls.  Your 
mileage
may vary...
