Google Voice Pushes Phone Use Into The Future.
A respected pioneer in web technology, creating the most well liked search engine in use today, Google stands at the front line of corporations pushing towards a future that’s inextricably tied to the fast developing arena 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 one another. 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 interesting services is Google Voice, a telecommunications wonder that extends users a singular telephone number from Google, to which any calls to your real telephone - or, if you so choose, multiple telephones 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 provided 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 are 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 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 are 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 styles 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 telephone 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 in tandem with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
