Google Voice moves telecommunications forward.
A famous pioneer in web technology, creating the hottest search website in use today, Google stands at the forefront of corporations pushing towards a future that is inextricably tied to the rapidly developing world of the Net.
With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services coming from their ingenuity have fundamentally modified how we communicate with each other. From Gmail to Google Wave, to competition that desperately plays “catch up,” proof of this company’s forward-thinking innovation abounds.
One of their more fascinating services is Google Voice, a telecommunications wonder that extends users a singular phone number from Google, to which any calls to your actual phone – or, if you so choose, multiple phones will be transferred.
How it works :
* User creates ( assuming it is not taken ) a new phonephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers made available by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been chosen, inbound calls to that number will be forwarded to the assigned phones.
As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :
While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you are awaiting a call from your brother about your sister-in-law’s pregnancy, knowing that she is’s due any minute. Your cell phone, which is your primary means of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted with a land line, with one phone located merely a foot away from the kitchen counter. Not knowing if you are home or not, your brother excitedly dials your Google Voice number, resulting in his call being forward to each phone assigned to it – including your land line.
With configuration requiring just a few steps, use of this service is that easy, gathering our disparate styles of telecommunication under the umbrella of Google Voice.
Additional features include :
* Voicemail
* Call History
* Conference Calling
* Call Blocking
* Voice transcription ( translating your voice mail into text messages )
* Call transitioning, which allows you to migrate from one phone to next in the middle of a call.
Google now allows you to use your existing phone number with Google Voice, a feature that was only just announced. Your current number can be employed together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
