Google Voice now features Voicemail
It’s a scientific fact that Google Voice is all of that and a bag of potato chips, but now it’s gotten even better thanks in part to Google’s willingness to tick off every carrier in the nation. In the past, users who wished to take advantage of the features of Google Voice would have to use the number provided to them by Google, but now users are free to integrate some Google Voice features into their carrier-issued number. These features include:
- Online, searchable voicemail
- Free automated voicemail transcription
- Custom voicemail greetings for different callers
- Email and SMS notifications
- Low-priced international calling
What’s particularly neat about this new option is that your messages follow you no matter what, meaning that even if you switch carriers to get the hot new device, Google Voice features will come with you.
i have sprint. are they gonna charge me call forwarding charges?
Nope. According to techcrunch, spring is getting rid of call forwarding fees (with GV in mind):

If anyone else has an extra GV invite and wouldn’t mind sending one my way, I’d greatly appreciate it!
