A famous pioneer in web technology, creating the hottest search website in use today, Google stands at the front line of corporations pushing towards a future that is 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 essentially changed 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 creativity abounds.
One of their more engaging services is Google Voice, a telecommunications wonder that extends users a unique telephone 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 ( presuming it isn't taken ) a new phone number or selects one from a pool of numbers supplied by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been chosen, inbound calls to that number will be forwarded to the assigned phone numbers.
As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :
While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you're waiting for 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 equipped with a land line, with one phone 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, leading to 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 simple, gathering our varied 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 texts )
* Call transitioning, which permits you to migrate from one phone to next in the middle of a call.
Google now permits you to use your existing phone number with Google Voice, a feature that was only just announced. Your current number may be employed together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit the Google Voice website ( you can google it. )
For people who are curious about utilising this service, you can request an invite today.
