A renowned pioneer in web technology, creating the most well liked search engine in use today, Google stands at the forefront of companies pushing towards a future that’s inextricably tied to the rapidly developing arena of the web.

With some of the most brilliant minds at work under their roof, the services resulting from their ingenuity have fundamentally changed how we communicate with each other. From Gmail to Google Wave, to competition that desperately plays “catch up,” proof of this company’s forward-thinking innovation abounds.

One of their more fascinating services is Google Voice, a telecommunications marvel that extends users a singular telephone number from Google, to which any calls to your actual telephone - or, if you so choose, multiple telephones will be transferred.

How it works :

* User creates ( assuming it isn’t taken ) a new telephone number or selects one from a pool of numbers made available by Google.
* Once the Google Voice number has been selected, inbound calls to that number will be forwarded to the assigned phones.

As an example, take the following scenario as testament to the convenience afforded by Google Voice :

While in the kitchen fixing dinner, you are awaiting a call from your brother about your sister-in-law’s pregnancy, knowing that she’s due any minute. Your cell phone, which is your first means of communication, is upstairs. Yet, your home is also outfitted with a land line, with one phone located merely a foot away from the kitchen counter. Not knowing if you are home or not, your brother excitedly dials your Google Voice number, resulting in his call being forward to every telephone assigned to it - including your land line.

With configuration requiring just a few steps, use of this service is that straightforward, gathering our different modes of telecommunication under the umbrella of Google Voice.

Additional features include :

* Voicemail
* Call History
* Conference Calling
* Call Blocking
* Voice transcription ( translating your voice mail into texts )
* Call transitioning, which lets you migrate from one phone to next in the middle of a call.

Google now permits you to use your existing phone number with Google Voice, a feature that was only just announced. Your existing number can be employed in tandem with a new Google Voice number. To read more about this new feature, visit here
