Google Voice

Editor's Review

Google Voice is your all-in-one solution for managing calls, texts, and voicemails. 📞📱 Whether you're at the office, at home, or on the go, Google Voice keeps you connected across all your devices. It provides a dedicated phone number for calls, text messaging, and voicemail, ensuring you never miss an important communication. 🌐

With Google Voice, you're always in control. 🎛️ The app automatically filters spam and allows you to block unwanted numbers, giving you peace of mind. You can also personalize settings for forwarding calls, text messages, and voicemail, helping you manage your time effectively. ⏰

One of the standout features of Google Voice is its advanced voicemail transcriptions. 📝 Instead of listening to voicemails, you can read them directly in the app or have them sent to your email. This feature saves time and makes it easy to prioritize your responses. ✉️

Google Voice also offers significant savings on international calls. 🌍 You can make calls at competitive rates without incurring extra charges from your mobile carrier. Plus, all your calls, text messages, and voicemails are securely stored and backed up, making it easy to search your communication history. 💾

Manage both individual and group SMS messages from any device, ensuring seamless communication with everyone in your contacts. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Google Voice is designed to streamline your communications and enhance your productivity. 📈

Keep in mind that Google Voice is currently only available in the US for personal Google Accounts. Google Voice for Google Workspace users is available in select countries. Additionally, calls made using Google Voice for Android can be placed through a Google Voice access number, which uses standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs, especially when traveling internationally. ✈️
