A few weeks ago, I wrote about Google Voice allowing you to route your mobile phone’s voicemail through the service. I’m absolutely loving this feature. Old-school voicemail (pressing 1 and listening to your messages) is so ’90s. Visual voicemail is better. Google Voice completely rules.
If I get a message, Google Voice allows me to listen to it on my phone or PC. I like that I can keep old voicemail messages for as long as I want and have access to them on my computer. My favorite feature is the voicemail transcription. The service will transcribe a message and send it to me as an SMS or email. This is just frickin’ brilliant. Being able to quickly read a message on my BlackBerry is so convenient.
I’m totally pleased with the voicemail features of Google Voice. Have any of you been using it? What do you think so far?
I have been using it since shortly after you posted that article and i was able to get an invite for it. I love using it now, it is so nice to get a txt with the voicemail written out, and makes things sooo much easier than calling and listening to my voicemail.
