Google Voice pushes telecommunications forward.

A respected pioneer in web technology, creating the most popular search engine in use today, Google stands at the front line of companies pushing towards a future that's inextricably tied to the rapidly developing world of the web.

With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services coming from their ingenuity have basically modified how we communicate with one another. From Gmail to Google Wave, to competition that desperately plays "catch up," evidence of this company's forward-thinking innovation abounds.

One of their more fascinating services is Google Voice, a telecommunications marvel that extends users a unique phone number from Google, to which any calls to your real phone - or, if you so choose, multiple telephones will be transferred.

How it works :

* User creates ( presuming it is not taken ) a new phonephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers supplied by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been selected, inbound calls to that number will be forwarded to the assigned telephones. ...
...

As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :

While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you're waiting for a call from your brother about your sister-in-law's pregnancy, knowing that she's's due any minute. Your cell phone, which is your primary way of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted with a land line, with one phone located merely a foot away from the kitchen counter. Without knowing if you're home or not, your brother excitedly dials your Google Voice number, leading to his call being forward to every phone assigned to it - including your land line.

With configuration requiring only a few steps, use of this service is that easy, gathering our varied modes of telecommunication under the umbrella of Google Voice.

Further features include :

* Voicemail
* Call History
* Conference Calling
* Call Blocking
* Voice transcription ( translating your voice mail into SMS messages )
* Call transitioning, which lets you migrate from one phone to next in the middle of a call.

Google now lets you use your existing phone number with Google Voice, a feature that was only just announced. Your existing number can be employed in tandem with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
