For the past several days my APC Smart UPS, model SUA1500, has suddenly started beeping at random times. If I ignore it the beeping stops after a minute or so. Once it stopped when I gave it a smart slap on the top of the case, although this remedy worked only once. It appears to hold a charge

Sounds like it is detecting that the line voltage is dipping below it's threshold. The sensitivity of this can be adjusted if you think the devices on the UPS can safely handle the sags. (see page 6 of the manual http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/ASTE-6Z8LFR_R0_EN.pdf ) I would try this to see

How old is the battery? I have had a couple of UPS units with similar behavior. When I replaced the battery they behaved normally. If your battery is stressed from irregular voltage it can go bad quicker than expected. Have you tried unplugging the UPS to see how long it will power your system

I'm pretty certain that Google Voice does not use VOIP for the last leg. Google purchased the Grand Central VOIP service. Any Google smartphone has an ip address. VOIP on the most basic level maps a phone number to an ip address. ___ PLUG mailing list

I had an issue like this with my UPS and I found that turning it off and back one would fix that issue.  Also, I think that you may want to replace the battery.  It sounds like the battery may be going out.  Usually they go out after a couple of years anyway.  I had to get a battery for my FIOS

No VoIP, just regular mobile phone (or fixed line) voice traffic. Google assign a proxy number on the mobile network to individual callers, or have their general purpose number call you. The same on the way out to your recipient. Google is not a telecom company, they're an internet company. Yes,
