Written by A renowned pioneer in web technology, creating the most well liked search engine in use today, Google stands at the front line of firms pushing towards a future that is inextricably tied to the quickly developing world of the Net.
With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services resulting from their ingenuity have fundamentally changed how we communicate with one another. From Gmail to Google Wave, to competition that desperately plays “catch up,” evidence of this company’s forward-thinking creativity abounds.
One of their more fascinating services is Google Voice, a telecommunications wonder that extends users a unique phone number from Google, to which any calls to your real telephone – or, if you so choose, multiple telephones will be transferred.
How it works :
* User creates ( presuming it’s not taken ) a new phonephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers provided by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been selected, inbound calls to that number will be forwarded to the assigned telephones.
As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :
While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you are waiting for a call from your brother about your sister-in-law’s pregnancy, knowing that she’s due any minute. Your cell phone, which is your first means of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted with a land line, with one telephone located just a foot away from the kitchen counter. Not knowing if you’re 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 some steps, use of this service is that straightforward, gathering our varied modes of telecommunication under the umbrella of Google Voice.
Extra features include :
* Voicemail
* Call History
* Conference Calling
* Call Blocking
* Voice transcription ( translating your voice mail into texts )
* Call transitioning, which allows you to migrate from one telephone to next in the middle of a call.
Google now lets you use your existing phone number with Google Voice, a feature that was only just announced. Your present number may be employed in tandem with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
