Google Voice [Killer] Better Function…
Today (or last night) Google added a function to Google Voice that lets you use their voicemail system for YOUR cell phone number, that’s in addition to using their system for your Google Voice phone number (mine is 646-80-SZTUL).
This is their first killer really good add-on.
For the past 6-12 months I have been using YouMail to “host” my voicemail which is nice because it lets me create custom ringtones for people, it emails me my voicemails, AND their is a Blackberry app that gives you a “visual voicemail” system on your phone without having to go through my providers service (read: free vs paid). YouMail has been great but since I started using Google Voice, I have found it redundant having two apps hosting two different voicemail systems.
In steps Google to the rescue.
Now, one app, Google Voice, that hosts my cell phone voicemail AND my Google Voice stuff (including SMS!).
The beautiful part… it will work WHEN I switch to Android 2.0! [cough… droid]

Google Voice
I have been using Google Voice, and previously GrandCentral, for some time now. I don’t use it a lot, but I have been using it to give out to people who I don’t want to necessarily have my actual cell number.
Well, today I did something that will keep me a user for a long time I think… I got a new number:
(646) 80-SZTUL
Thats right, I have a vanity phone number. Take that Facebook/Go-daddy/twitter/etc!
I can’t wait to have a blackberry google voice app or hopefully a iphone app one day!
Call me!
