Google Voice
You can use Google Voice for your voicemail service, in place of your mobile carrier’s
voicemail service. Google Voice gives you a visual interface to all of your voicemail
messages—you can access your messages in the order you want, read transcripts of
your messages, and listen to your messages, using a karaoke-style interface that
makes it easy to replay any part.
You can also use Google Voice to make international calls, in place of
your carrier’s long-distance service, to take advantage of Google
Voice’s low international calling rates.
If you already have a Google Voice account with a Google phone
number, you can configure your phone to place some or all calls via
Google Voice. The people you call will see your Google phone number
instead of your cell phone number as your caller ID.
To learn more about Google Voice, including how to get a Google Voice
number, go to http://www.google.com/voice.
Google Voice is currently available only in the United States.
