Google Voice

The Google Voice app allows users to make and receive calls and texts on their phones like any other app, but without having to pay extra charges from their phone service provider. The Google Voice app also allows users to call other Google Voice users free of charge and call landlines and cell phones internationally at low rates, as long as the person you're calling also has the Google Voice app or uses Gmail. In addition, the Google Voice app offers free online storage for voicemails and messages so that you can access your messages from any computer or device with Internet access anytime.

Updates

Google Voice has been updated to make it easier for people to use the app for video calls. Now, users can switch between a video call and a regular call with just one tap. The update also features improved accessibility for visually impaired users, making them more easily navigate the app.

Other updates include support for 64-bit devices running iOS 9 or higher and bug fixes to improve the performance of voice messages sent from desktop clients like Gmail. Finally, when you see an alert on your phone or computer that someone's called or texted you but can't take it at that moment, you can schedule a reminder to return the call later??all without leaving the screen where you're doing something else!
