I thought it is worthwhile mentioning two of the best features about Google voice. The best feature is the ability to place calls within US and Canada. Businesses can embed the Google “Call me” button inside their webpages and customers can call “free” within the US and Canada. So they can get rid of the expensive Toll Free Numbering system . Google Voice is literally serve as a “Free” Toll Free numbering system

The next best thing is the ability to send Voice messages by sms or text message . I was amazed by the ability to recognize the convert Voice messages with different “accents ” which is the typical problem with most of the Cellphone Voice message system.

Google voice is now available through invite only. I got 2 , one from my old grand central, the company acquired by Google and one from the recent Google Voice beta . Go grab one by signing up for the beta
