Google Voice

July 23, 2009 · Posted in Thoughts · Comment 

Last week I finally received an invite to join Google voice.  So far I am impressed by the features and the ease of use.  I especially like the fact that a blackberry app is available to use the service on my blackberry.  I can tell that this app was designed for a blackberry with a pearl and not the storm.  Moving around the tabs is a difficult, but still worth it.   I will be canceling my TW home phone service and starting to use the GV account exclusively for my “home” number.  One thing I love is the ability to have a caller say there name before it finds me,  that way I know who it might be.

It is interesting that I have these features on my business phone system and use them regularly; but phone companies and even cell companies have never thought to use this.  Hopefully as some researchers say, GV might make these features more widely available as people come to expect them.
