Google has pioneered many innovations in technology, and its new product Google Voice is no different. It is a Voice Over IP service that uses the Internet to transfer signals from one telephone to another, converting analog signals to digital format and allowing for crisp and clear sound for both telephones. While this technology has been around for a while, Google Voice allows users to choose phone numbers for them to use and forwards all calls to this number to their already-existing phones without the need for the complicated process usually involved in number-switching. This allows consumers to have one number for all their calls and even text messages, as well as support for international calls for only $0.01 per minute.

The usage of VoIP provides many useful services, such as integration between phone and internet. Users can receive and send text messages from their computer, as well as the ability to download voicemail and using internet right from your phone. Google Voice also supports many other popular features of phones and VoIP services, including call screening and the ability to block certain numbers. It also allows customization for what phone rings when a call comes in and automated greetings that can be personalized depending on who is on other end of the line.

The best advantage, however, is that it is free! Google has always been a pioneer in free services, and there is no cost to make local calls throughout the nation. While $10 is needed to acquire a special phone number, it is much better than many of the paid services currently on the market and has attracted thousands of users in the United States.
