So, I have been using google voice at work for a while. I give out my GV number and when people call it both my office desk phone and my district provided cell ring. I can pick up either one... I just stumbled across the following:
Receiving Calls: Switching phones during an incoming call To switch phones in the middle of an incoming call, just press * while you're talking, and your other phones will ring. Then, for example, you can pick up the call from your mobile phone (if you're about to head out), or from your desk. There are no passcodes or PINs to enter and, best of all, your caller won't even hear the switch. Keep in mind that it's not possible to switch phones during calls you make through your Google number. If this is a feature you'd like to see added to Google Voice, please send us your feedback<http://www.google.com/support/voice/bin/request.py?contact_type=suggest> . I will be testing this in the morning, but it seems to add a feature that some high-end VOIP systems offer. If this does what it sounds like...wow. I have been enjoying the text/email transcription service as well, but this might be a new favorite for while in the office (or at least a super neat one to keep in mind.) How have others been using GV? --Michael T.
