Google Voice

Editor's Review

Google Voice is your all-in-one solution for managing communication effortlessly! 🌟 It provides you with a dedicated phone number for calls, text messages, and voicemail, ensuring you stay connected whether you're at your desk or on the move. 📱💻

With Google Voice, you're always in control. The app automatically filters out spam, helping you avoid unwanted interruptions. You can also block specific numbers, ensuring a peaceful communication experience. 🚫 Plus, personalized settings let you forward calls, manage text messages, and handle voicemail exactly the way you want. ⚙️

Never worry about losing important information! Google Voice stores and backs up all your calls, text messages, and voicemails, making it easy to search your history whenever you need it. 🗄️ The app also supports sending and receiving individual and group SMS messages from any of your devices, keeping all your conversations in sync. 💬

One of the standout features is voicemail transcription. Google Voice provides advanced transcriptions of your voicemails, which you can read directly in the app or have sent to your email. 📧 This is perfect for quickly understanding your messages without having to listen to them. Save money on international calls with competitive rates, without incurring extra charges from your mobile carrier. 💰

Please note that Google Voice is currently only available in the US for personal Google Accounts, and in select markets for Google Workspace accounts. Text messaging support varies by region. 🌍 Calls made through Google Voice for Android may use a Google Voice access number, which utilizes standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs, especially when traveling internationally. ✈️
