A renowned pioneer in web technology, creating the most popular search engine in use today, Google stands at the front line of firms pushing towards a future that’s inextricably tied to the rapidly evolving arena of the internet.
With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services resulting from their ingenuity have basically 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 engaging services is Google Voice, a telecommunications marvel that extends users a unique 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 isn’t taken ) a new telephone 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 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 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 method of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted 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 each telephone assigned to it – including your land line.
With configuration requiring only a few steps, use of this service is that straightforward, gathering our disparate 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 permits you to migrate from one phone 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 can be employed together with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
