Google Voice: Now for everyone

The wait is over! Those of you who haven’t been able to get a Google Voice account are in luck. Google has opened the gates and now the web-based Google Voice communications management platform is open to the public. Google Voice offers a single phone number that can ring on all of a user’s phones, voice mail that can be sent to email as sound or text as well as the ability to listen in to a caller’s voice message while they are leaving it. The public release has some businesses excited to use the features, although at the moment it would mean adopting new Google Voice phone numbers.
