News Flash: Google launches Google Voice
Today, Google tentatively launches a new service called Google Voice, a powerful service that allows you to unify all of your phones and phone numbers into one phone number, one voicemail box, and with many other handy features (such as the ability to block certain phone numbers, conference calling, voicemail transcription, and more). Unfortunately, however, Google Voice is currently only in closed beta—that is, it is only available for existing Google Grand Central users, but don’t fret to soon—Google says it will have GVoice ready “in a matter of weeks”.
While you’re waiting, here’s a brief list of features I like must about Google Voice:
-
Blocking Calls (yay, no more phone soliciting?)
-
Phone Forwarding (the ability to make decide which phone rings and which phones don’t)
-
Call Switch (means I can switch phones in the middle of a conversation!)
-
Forward, download, transcribe voicemails (it says it all…)
-
Free calls to U.S. numbers (…and with international calls at about 2 cents? WOW!)
So what do you think? Do you think Google is getting to know too much? Share your thoughts in the comments!
