So every now and then I like to report on new things that have impacted my life. Today I want to talk about Google Voice (http://www.google.com/voice) a semi new application that Google released in Beta for everyone to use and try out. This application is FREE and such an amazing service. Here is everything they have to offer!

If you would like to get an invite to test the new beta Google Voice go to https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/ and you will be able to enter in your name and email address to play the waiting game to use their FREE service. This is such a great service I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to use it. I have personally used it for 3 months and have loved every minute of it. I never have to worry about unwanted calls or business calls at 2am. I can give each one of my friends and family personal greetings(voicemails) for when they call me.
I will have to say though, the number one feature that I love about this phone is voicemail to text message. Anytime someone calls me it transcribes my voicemail to text and sends me both an email and a text to my cell phone. This service alone saves me so much time everyday which is very valuable to me. Hope you will find this service useful!
