Google Voice: Your All-in-One Communication Hub

Google Voice is a free mobile application providing a US phone number for making and receiving calls, sending and receiving text messages (SMS), and managing voicemails. This versatile app seamlessly syncs across your devices, allowing you to stay connected from anywhere – home, office, or on the go.

Key Features:

• Transcribed Voicemails: Convert voicemails into easily readable text.
• Cross-Device Synchronization: Access your calls, texts, and voicemails from your smartphone and computer.
• Convenient Storage: Maintain a readily accessible archive of your communication history.

Google Voice operates as a personal communication manager, utilizing a single free number to reach all your linked devices. This ensures you never miss a crucial call or message. You can customize call routing, directing calls from specific contacts to preferred devices at specific times. For instance, route personal calls to your smartphone and work calls to voicemail after hours. Record calls with a single tap and store them indefinitely. Voicemails are automatically transcribed and delivered to your chosen devices. The app also includes features to block numbers and automatically filter spam. Manage and personalize call forwarding, text messages, and voicemail settings with ease.
