Google Voice

One number for all your calls and SMS

Call screening - Announce and screen callers
Listen in - Listen before taking a call
Block calls - Keep unwanted callers at bay
SMS - Send, receive, and store SMS
Place calls - Call US numbers for free
Taking calls - Answer on any of your phones
Phone routing - Phones ring based on who calls
Forwarding phones - Add phones and decide which ring

Voicemail as easy as email, with transcripts

Voicemail transcripts - Read what your voicemail says
Listen to voicemail - Check online or from your phone
Notifications - Receive voicemails via email or SMS
Personalize greeting - Vary greetings by caller
Share voicemail - Forward or download voicemails

More cool things you can do with Google Voice

Conference calling - Join people into a single call
Call record - Record calls and store them online
Call switch - Switch phones during a call
Mobile site - View your inbox from your mobile
GOOG-411 - Check directory assistance
Manage groups - Set preferences by group

now, there are a LOT of cool features (visual voicemail, call forwarding to all your numbers with a single permanent google number forever, general google integration, voicemail transcripts), but the big thing here is the fact that it's a FIRST PARTY voip application. no more using minutes when you have a wifi connection, and as data bandwidth improves... maybe no more using minutes ever. maybe pay-as-you-go isn't looking so bad anymore.

Yay!

I sit 20ft away from the Google Voice team. They are awesome guys who've worked hard on this product.

I can't believe it's finally out. Go Google Voice!

I heard that there is a long wait to actually be able to get the google voice service tho.
My cousin waited for a few months, but said that they are releasing more new numbers soon tho.

Now all I need is an Android phone for Sprint.

I'm retarded. I'm not grasping what's going on here.

google took over Grand Central, first. what this means:

google will give you a phone number
when people dial that phone number, the call is forwarded to whichever number you'd like
voicemail is recorded through google voice, you can store them forever
voicemails are transcripted so you can READ the voicemail instead of listen to it
you have access to VISUAL VOICEMAIL like the iphone.
you can forward to certain phones during certain times of the day and so on
no matter what the number assigned to whatever phone(s) you have in the future may be, people can always dial one number to reach you
it's a beautiful thing

BustedS13 · 07-28-2009, 12:33 PM

so google guy, when will the free business cards be available again? apparently it was back up yesterday but i just got my invite this morning

That makes more sense.

I just requested an invite. Worth a shot. How much is it?

BustedS13 · 07-28-2009, 02:14 PM

it's free!

basically everything that comes in through your number winds up in your google voice inbox, which looks very much like gmail.

Dope! I hope I get an invite.

BustedS13 · 07-28-2009, 03:06 PM

took mine about a week and a half, hopefully yours is quicker!
supposedly you'll also be able to port your existing number(s) to google voice, too! that'd be RAD!
