Written by A respected pioneer in web technology, creating the most well liked search engine in use today, Google stands at the forefront of corporations pushing towards a future that’s inextricably tied to the fast evolving sector of the internet.
With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services resulting from their ingenuity have basically modified 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 interesting services is Google Voice, a telecommunications marvel that extends users a singular telephone number from Google, to which any calls to your actual phone – or, if you so choose, multiple telephones will be transferred.
How it works :
* User creates ( assuming it’s not taken ) a new telephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers made available 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 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 way of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted with a land line, with one telephone located simply 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 each phone 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.
Further features include :
* Voicemail
* Call History
* Conference Calling
* Call Blocking
* Voice transcription ( translating your voice mail into SMS messages )
* Call transitioning, which lets you 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 used together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
