Save on Your Phone Bill with Google Voice
Google has made their web phone service, Google Voice, available to everyone in the United States! This is great news for anyone that wants to save money on their phone bill and to those looking for privacy!
What is Google Voice?
Google Voice is a web-based platform to help you manage your communications. It provides you one number to ring all your phones, voicemail that works like email, FREE calls and text messages to the U.S. and Canada, low-priced international calls, and more!
What are some of its features?
- You’ll have one phone number that will ring all your phones.
- You can get transcribed voicemails sent directly to your inbox or to your phone via SMS messaging.
- Define which phones ring, based on who’s calling.
- Works with mobile phones, desk phones, and work phones.
- There’s nothing to download or install, and you don’t have to make or take calls using a computer!
- If you have a smartphone, you can download the mobile app to make calls directly from your smartphone.
How can it help you save money?
Google voice allows you to make FREE calls to the US and Canada as well as FREE text messages! You can also make cheap international calls.
How can it help improve your privacy?
Google Voice assigns you a number that will ring to your home or mobile phone, so people can contact you if you want…but that’s not your real number. You can use this number to provide on websites where they ask you for a phone number like survey sites or when you order online. It also has some great blocking capabilities.
