Submission + - SPAM: Google Voice: Keep your mobile number
IP-192.com writes: Google Voice users can now utilize their existing mobile phone number for collecting voice messages instead of applying for a Google Voice number. "½ÂoeUp until now, if you wanted to use Google Voice, you needed to choose a new number. Taking calls through your Google number allows us to offer features like call recording, call screening and getting text messages via email," said Google’s Craig Walker and Vincent Paquet in a blog post.
When you sign up for Google Voice now, you can either choose Google phone number or keep your own. Keeping your existing number gives you:
* Online, searchable voicemail;
* Free automated voicemail transcription;
* Custom voicemail greetings for different callers;
* Email and SMS notifications;
* And low-priced international calling comparable to the Skype-service.
Going for the full-fledged Google experience includes all of the above services plus:
* One number that reaches you on all your phones;
* SMS via email;
* Call screening;
* Listen In;
* Call recording;
* Conference calling;
* Call blocking.
Customers who already have a Google Voice number can add the voicemail option to any mobile phone associated with the account.
