What's new in Google Voice

Google Voice for iPhone and Palm WebOS

Visit m.google.com/voice on your iPhone or Palm Web OS enabled device to experience app-like access to many Google Voice features, including the ability to make calls from your Google number and send free text messages.

Extension for Google Chrome

The Google Voice Extension gives you easy access to voicemail, calling, and texting - all from a button on your browser. Plus, get notifications of new voicemails and simply click-to-call when a phone number is published on a website. If you're not using it already, install Google Chrome first. (PC only for now)

What's been keeping us busy...

Get Google Voicemail for your existing number

You can now use Google Voice with your existing mobile phone number. You won't get all the functionality that a Google number brings you, but you'll get Google Voicemail, low priced international calling, and several other useful features. Learn more

Send invites to friends

You now have the ability to invite a limited number of friends to Google Voice. Look for a link on the left side of your inbox. Learn more

Play voicemails within Gmail

Enable the Google Voice player lab and voicemail notification emails will include an embedded player so that you can listen to messages without leaving your inbox.

Receive & reply to SMS messages by email

With SMS forwarding, you can receive text messages via email. Reply straight to those emails to save on text message fees.

Google Voice mobile app

The Google Voice app for Blackberry and Android-powered phones allows you to make outbound calls from your Google number, read transcriptions of your voicemails, make low priced international calls, and send free SMS. Learn more

Change your Google number

If you're not happy with your Google number, you can now switch to a new number for a $10 fee. Your old number will remain active for 3 months so that you have time to update everyone.

Keyboard shortcuts

Google Voice's keyboard shortcuts allow you to do common tasks (like make a call or send a text message) with just a few key strokes. Check out the full list of keyboard shortcuts.


Here's the deal: I will give an invite to the person who guesses the correct number I have written down. The number is between 1 and 1000, and it is not the number 1 or 1000. I will keep an eye on this thread to see who guesses the number. You can submit up to 5 guesses a day, because I don't want to drag it out forever.

Are there people left that want Google Voice and don't yet have it?

I have unused invites because I do not know anyone that needs one.

I know it's not new or anything, but I love it and wanted something to do, so I started this thread LOL.

Google Voice is nice. For those like me who have far to many phones to keep up with, it's really great to have just one number to ring all phones at one time.

I have google voice for a while. My cell phone minutes with my circle crap and gv have gone from 1000+ minutes a month, down to 30 minutes a month. Everyone that needs me has my gv number and calls it. I even took my skype number and sent it to my gv number.

Nice! 78
