Before I got rid of Google voice, it did work that way. If you blocked that
number their calls automatically heard the old the number you have reached
is no longer in service thing. The caller never knew they had been blocked.
When a call did come in you could either answer it or wait. If you waited,
the call would switch over to voice mail. In settings, you could set how
long it rang before going to voice mail. If the caller left a voice
message, you were sent an email informing you of new voice mail.
I got an email from Google informing me that if I wasn't using Google voice
that I could keep my account and give up the phone number and could get a
new number at any time by logging into my Google voice account and picking a
new number.

Do you have it to where when you answer a call it will tell you who is
calling and then you can hit buttons to either reject call, send the call
to voice mail, answer the call, etc?? I am asking this because people tell
me that they are asked for their name and then it will attempt to connect
them, but when I answer, it never tells me who is calling. I am guessing I
have something configure incorrectly but I can't figure out what. Any
ideas?

Another feature I like about Google voice is that it will perform voice
recognition on any messages left in your voice mail and send you a text
or email with the transcription in it. It isn't perfect, but it's a
quick way to let you know if you need to worry about the message or not.
As others have mentioned, when someone calls my Google Voice number, my
cell phone, land line and office phones will all ring. I can decide
which phone I want to use to take the call.
I don't use these features myself, but you can decide if you'll answer a
call or send it to voice mail. You can even listen to someone leaving
the voice mail and decide to pick it up. You can also pick up the call
on one phone, say your land line phone, and then pick it up on your cell
phone as well, such as if you're going out the door during the call.

Hello there. You will probably get other answers and so far I have read
two other messages on this. It is not exactly a VoIP number, instead it
is a virtual number. This means that for the most part if you have it
forwarding to your cell phone number, when you make and receive calls to
or from your Google voice number it will still use your cell phone
minutes. You can of course use apps like talkatone to make data voice
calls. One advantage of Google voice is that if you use it to text
message, the messages are On the Google voice website and are virtually
stored forever. Or at least as long as you want them to. In any case, a
lot longer and easier to manage than the messages app on the phone.
Another advantage is that if you get an incoming call through your Google
voice number, you can record the phone call. This will play a message
that all parties will here so they know they are being recorded. This
comes in handy and of course you can later retrieve it from the Google
voice web
site. There are many more advantages and I could go on forever and ever
since I am a huge fan of Google voice. However I will mention one last
advantage and say no more unless others are interested. I have an ObiTalk
Phone bridge adapter. With this adapter I can make it so it uses Google
voice as it's line. That means that my home phone is actually a Google
voice number and I don't have to pay for home phone service. As long as I
have this adapter connected to the Internet and configured, then I get
free phone service.

My cousin asked me about the IPhone and Google voice and I didn't know.
Can
someone briefly tell me what google voice's purpose is and why I might
want
it on my phone?
When you give unto others whether or not they give to you in return, It
matters not for your job is Complete and your rewards forthcoming.
