Written by A renowned pioneer in web technology, creating the most well liked search website in use today, Google stands at the front line of corporations pushing towards a future that’s inextricably tied to the rapidly developing world of the internet.
With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services coming from their ingenuity have fundamentally changed how we communicate with each other. From Gmail to Google Wave, to competition that desperately plays “catch up,” evidence of this company’s forward-thinking innovation abounds.
One of their more fascinating services is Google Voice, a telecommunications marvel that extends users a unique telephone number from Google, to which any calls to your real 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 provided by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been selected, 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 due any minute. Your cell phone, which is your first means of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also equipped with a land line, with one telephone located merely a foot away from the kitchen counter. Without knowing if you are home or not, your brother excitedly dials your Google Voice number, resulting in his call being forward to every telephone assigned to it – including your land line.
With configuration requiring only a few steps, use of this service is that easy, gathering our different methods 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 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 current number can be used together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
