One phone number for all of your calls and texts, wrapped in an impressive set of features including free VoIP calls to anywhere in the US.
Google Voice to finally take GrandCentral’s place – Ars Technica
Google Voice brings new features like voicemail transcripts and the ability to search all of your incoming and outbound text messages. According to the new features page, users will also be able to make calls from the Google Voice site and even create conference calls by dragging and dropping contacts together. In a move that may irk some VoIP companies like Skype, Google Voice will also allow users to make free calls to any US phone number, though Google will charge fees for international calls. A few of Google Voice’s features also step on the toes of some startups, such as the communication aggregator Skydeck, which we checked out in January.
Free VoIP calls to any US number is the ticket to truly widespread adoption of VoIP, and not just because of folks who will use Google Voice; it should force other providers like Skype to match the offer.
The other stuff is just really tasty gravy.
