The Google Voice will continue to be free like the GrandCentral and the users need to only pay for the international calls. "Google Voice gives you one number for all your phones -- a phone number that is tied to you, not to a device or a location. Use Google Voice to simplify the way you use phones, make using voicemail as easy as email, customize your callers' experience, and more. Google Voice isn't a phone service, but it lets you manage all of your phones. Google Voice works with mobile phones, desk phones, work phones, and VoIP lines. There's nothing to download, upload, or install, and you don't have to make or take calls using a computer," explains the new help center.
The service has actually added some new cool features such as voicemail transcription, SMS support, conference calling, GOOG-411 integration, low cost international calling.
Reading online reviews of Google voice I see that people say that Google voice is like Gmail, but for voicemail. As we wrote above the Google Voice is not yet available in another countries except in USA. Thus, one person from UK writes that she likes the sounds of Google Voice and is looking forward to the public beta (if it comes to the UK).
It took Google almost two years to revive the GrandCentral after the acquisition. This VoIP solution sounds like the next "big thing" reviews Google Voice David Pogue in today's NY Times.
To this date Google was searching your Gmail, now it wants to search your Voice Mail too. "Google has begun testing a service that will make transcripts of voice-mail messages and make them searchable," reviews today's PC World
Therefore, use Google Voice, but keep in mind that your voice mail is searchable and consider the privacy when talking on Google Voice.
Will the future of the online search be based on voice rather than typing?
