Google Voice pushes phone use forward.
A famous pioneer in web technology, creating the most popular search site in use today, Google stands at the forefront of corporations pushing towards a future that is inextricably tied to the quickly developing 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,” evidence of this company’s forward-thinking creativity abounds.
One of their more fascinating services is Google Voice, a telecommunications marvel that extends users a unique phone 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 ( presuming it is not taken ) a new phonephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers made available by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been chosen, 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’re waiting for 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 primary means of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also equipped with a land line, with one phone located simply a foot away from the kitchen counter. Without knowing if you’re home or not, your brother excitedly dials your Google Voice number, leading to his call being forward to every telephone assigned to it – including your land line.
With configuration requiring just a few steps, use of this service is that simple, 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 text messages )
* Call transitioning, which lets you 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 together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
