Google Voice pushes telecommunications forward.
Posted on 14 January 2010
A respected pioneer in web technology, creating the most popular search website 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.Â
With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services resulting from their ingenuity have fundamentally changed how we communicate with each other. From Gmail to Google Wave, to competition that desperately plays “catch up,” proof of this company’s forward-thinking creativity abounds.Â
One of their more interesting services is Google Voice, a telecommunications wonder that extends users a singular phone number from Google, to which any calls to your real telephone – or, if you so choose, multiple phones will be transferred.Â
How it works :
* User creates ( presuming it is not taken ) a new phonephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers made available by Google.Â
* Once the Google Voice number has been selected, inbound calls to that number will be forwarded to the assigned telephones.Â
As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :
While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you’re awaiting 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 way of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted with a land line, with one telephone located just 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 phone assigned to it – including your land line.Â
With configuration requiring just a few steps, use of this service is that simple, gathering our disparate modes of telecommunication under the umbrella of Google Voice.Â
Further features include :
* Voicemail
* Call History
* Conference Calling
* Call Blocking
* Voice transcription ( translating your voice mail into texts )
* Call transitioning, which permits you to migrate from one telephone to next in the middle of a call.Â
Google now allows you to use your existing phone number with Google Voice, a feature that was only just announced. Your current number can be employed in tandem with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
