Google Voice app coming to your Cell Phone

Google Voice announced yesterday a mobile app for Android and Blackberry phones (iPhone is in the works) that will essentially be like skype for a cell phone. You’ll be able to use the Google Voice dialer to connect via the data connection and talk on your cell phone WITHOUT USING CELLULAR MINUTES. That clearly changes everything and probably has the cellular industry’s attention.

On top of that your Google Voice number will show up in the caller ID. So you won’t have customers calling you on your cell phone just because you called them on it. This really big from a phone number point of view because this way callers will always see and call you back on your Google Voice number no matter what number you call them from. So they can reach you no matter where you are even if you can’t answer your cell phone.

Your Google Voice number is the only one anyone knows or uses to reach you and your cell phone number and provider becomes almost irrelevant. This is something no other “unified messaging” system or service has even dreamed of. (Does anyone still have any doubt that Google Voice does things that the current enhanced voicemail services like Ring Central have never even thought of before.)

    What would really be a game changer is if the application, once available for the iPhone, could be used on an iPod touch via wifi.

      Adrian,

      That sounds kind of like a stretch, assuming that an ipod could be a phone. I don’t think it takes quite that extreme of an app to change the way we use the phone (or ipod as the case may be).

        I've been looking for an 800 for over 6 months then we came across your website. I cannot believe that it is as easy as you said it would. It took seconds to get activated and the best part is thatI own the number.

        Thank you for your awesome service!

        When we first started to take on initial customers, we noticed that many customers wanted us to invest in a toll free number, we had many daily suggestions. We knew that toll free numbers where significantly expensive or at least though so. We started looking through search engines and found Mr.Quimbys page. Let me tell you right now, if you need a 1800 number START HERE. It's inexpensive, and eliminates all your worry on toll free numbers. All of Mr.Quimbys services are well documented and he always provides outstanding support. Not only that but you have many, many ways to get the number you want the most.

        We used TollFreeNumbers.com to search for multiple vanity numbers and got a really good one, 866-USA-MEDS. Your ebook was excellent too. Keep up the good work and thanks for all that you do!

        Testimonial 824 out of 1983

        If not for Bill Quimby's tollfreenumbers.com my little company would be paying over $10,000 a year in monthly fees to the 800# company squatting on the initial # I wanted.

        If you're a small business like me, the minute you start researching toll free numbers you realize quickly that virually all the best 7 digit numbers are taken by unscupulous companies that have them solely to rent them to unsuspecting little guys like me for exporbitent monthly fees.
        These '"warehousers" offer limited term contracts that allow them to jack up your fee even farther at term-end if the # is successful for you. In my case the warehouser I delt with wanted to increase the fees 25% per year! When I tried to rnegotiate a bettter deal, the rep agree to my terms on the phone only to send me a contract draft unfavorable changes to other terms (in this case per cent charges and others) already agreed upon. So like a sleazy car dealer they tried to slip changes by me to get that money from me one way or another.

        Bill's company is the lone life raft in the middle of a cut-throat sea. No other company out there will provide you virtually unlimited ownership a toll-free number for a one-time fee. More bill's one-times are amazingly reasonable. Still more, Bill will provided me with invaluable advice about finding alternative numbers and managing my number once I'd purchased it.

        Note that as i type this I know it must sound like I'm a pal of Bill's or have been coached on what to say. But this statement is entirely independent and borne of 2 months experience seaching for that right number-- which I found through tollfreenumbers.com!

        indeed i believe that tollfreenumbers.com is more than a company. It's the only public service available for the little guy in a business where the FCC looks the other way on its own rules (stated on its website page for 800#s!) against warehousing and reselling numbers.

        You did a great job. Just wish I could get the same performance out of our call center's carrier and their agent.

        You are D’Man when it comes to toll-free numbers.

        Your customer service is second to none. I purchased my toll free number from your company several months ago and I could not be happier (877-88-MECCA). I feel very secure that my toll-free number will not get high-jacked by some phone company because of the toll-free number birth certificate you provided which proves I’m the owner of the number.

        I also I look forward to your monthly 800 watch e-mail because it keeps me abreast of toll-free numbers that I may be interested in purchasing but would have otherwise missed. Plus, your knowledge of the toll-free number industry is very insightful and informative.

        Thanks again for your dedication to making the toll-free number purchase experience less stressful and more enjoyable for business owners. Keep up the great work!

        Sincerely,
