Google Voice: Browser Based Phone Management System Review

In 2007 Google acquired GrandCentral Communications a voice communications management company and since then Google is secretly working on its another dream project now known as Google Voice.
Google in May reportedly reserved 1 million phone numbers through network operator Level 3 Communications, a move seen as a sign of the company’s intent to open Google Voice to a large number of new users.
Still there is confusion among general mass about the use of this Google Voice so here is the list of Google Voice benefits:
- Once you sign up and receive a phone number, you input all of your existing numbers–your cell phone, work phone, home phone, and anything else–into the control panel. Then, when you receive a call, all of your phones will ring (or a smaller subset, if you choose), and you can answer on whichever one is most convenient at the time.
- You can set your preferences so that certain calls will ring only certain phones. If, for example, you wanted your spouse’s calls to go straight through to your cell phone, or your mother’s calls to ring only on your home phone, you could make those specifications. You could even set certain callers to be routed directly into your voicemail.
- When you pick up the call, and while the caller still hears ringing, you’ll be presented with the person’s name and four options: answer the call, send it to voicemail, send it to voicemail and listen in live, or answer and record the call.
- Google Voice uses information from your address book to tell you who’s calling. If the caller isn’t in your contacts list, Google Voice can ask for their name and play it back for you when you pick up.
- Google Voice’s voicemail is fully accessible over the Web. You can listen to voicemail online, forward voice messages to other users, and even embed them on other Web sites. Google Voice also offers text transcriptions of your voice messages and the ability to receive them via e-mail or text message.
- If someone sends a message to your Google number, the service will route it to any mobile phones you have connected. You can reply to text messages from any phone as well, or via the Google Voice Web interface.
- You can start and stop recording calls with the touch of a single button, and then access those recordings online. You can also switch phones without having to interrupt the call: You simply press the star key while talking, and your other connected phones will begin to ring. At that point, you can pick any of them up, hang the original phone up, and go about your conversation as if nothing had happened.
