I want Google Voice

Seriously, the list of features is awesome. Too bad we don’t know if or when the service will join us in “the great white north.”

Features include:

  • One number: a single phone number that rings all your phones
  • Free SMS: send, receive & store text messages online
  • Block calls: send unwanted callers straight to voicemail
  • Record calls: record phone calls and store them online
  • Conference calls: join several people into a single call
  • Screen callers: hear who is calling before you pick up

Plus:

  • Google voicemail: voicemail like email
  • Voicemail transcription: read what your voicemail says
  • Custom greetings: vary voicemail greetings by caller
  • International calling: low cost calls to the world
  • Notifications: read voicemail messages via email or SMS
  • Share voicemails: forward, embed, or download voicemails

= awesome

  • I use a US number & I can txt for free. It rules

    i would prefer to remain anonymous but Google voice would be a great service in Canada as well as it would be a great tool for law enforcement as I personally in that field need to give my personal number out to ppl in order to gain information that leads to getting criminals put in jail. this would give me the option to give a different number out with a different set of options without breaking the budget casue lets be honest when has the Canadian government ever provided law enforcement with enough money to supply each person a work phone that they could use.
