Introducing Google Voice
Google Voice is a powerful new tool from Google which is being made available to a limited number of users as part of an extended beta program. Google Voice enables one phone number to be used for cell, home and work phones and provides online management for voice services. Unlike Skype, calls are not made through the computer but instead with your existing devices. No additional hardware or software has to be bought. Google seems to have hit upon a practical solution for people who want to manage multiple phone lines and services. Best of all, it’s free. You can request an invite to be a beta user on the Google Voice website at www.google.com/voice.
