Google Voice pushes telecommunications into the future.
A respected pioneer in web technology, creating the most popular search site in use today, Google stands at the forefront of companies pushing towards a future that is inextricably tied to the rapidly developing world of the Net.
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 singular phone number from Google, to which any calls to your real telephone – or, if you so choose, multiple phones 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 phones.
As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :
While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you’re awaiting 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 method 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. Without knowing if you’re home or not, your brother excitedly dials your Google Voice number, leading to his call being forward to every phone assigned to it – including your land line.
With configuration requiring just some steps, use of this service is that easy, gathering our different modes 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 lets you 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 present number can be employed together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
