Way backwards in Sept of 2008 we told you most GrandCentral, titled it Google’s Forgotten Acquisition and talked most the Brobdingnagian implications it could hit for Android. Now I’d same to add one more thing… told ya so. Google has meet rebranded GrandCentral as Google Voice.

It’s exclusive acquirable to existing GrandCentral customers at the moment, but you crapper be SURE they’re feat to listing this discover to the group otherwise they wouldn’t hit rebranded it. And consortium us, this is feat to hit implications on Android so you’re feat to poverty to undergo a lowercase more most it. Luckily, Google has created a TON of videos most the features of Google Voice, mutual with our comments below.

Here is the “concept” by which Google Voice works. Everyone calls your Google Voice sort and it gets rerouted as appropriate:

VOICEMAIL 2.0

PERSONALIZED GREETING
When your friends intend your voicemail it could say, “Whattup Broseph? I’m no around yo but yield ‘dem digits and I’ll hollerback” patch your Mom would say, “Sorry I’m not around Mom, yield a communication fuck ya!” and Co-Workers and Unknown drawing could center something more traditional. Want to be modify without risking your job? Google Voice FTW!

SCREENING CALLS
Do I rattling requirement to delude you on this? When a newborn sort calls you the prototypal time, it asks them who they are and their vocalise is recorded, letting you undergo who it is before you end whether or not to answer:

MANAGE GROUPS
Keep road of your whole occurrence itemize and phone drawing neatly, from the web:

MOBILE SITE
While the beneath is shown on a G1, I conceive its innocuous to feature that a autochthonous Android Application would be prefabricated for Google Voice:

FORWARDING PHONES AND PHONE NUMBERS
If you hit more than one phone, same me, I’m trusty you see that this could be dispatched from heaven:

PERSONAL PHONE VS. BUSINESS PHONE

LISTEN IN
You crapper freaking center to voicemails AS they are existence transcribed JUST same a bag responsive machine. HOW AWESOME IS THIS? If it is essential meet garner it up mid-call!

TRANSCRIPTIONS & NOTIFICATIONS
Have your voicemails dispatched to you via E-Mail with a transcription of the voicemail dispatched to you! Too cool, right?

NO MORE PHONE SPAM!
You crapper country calls from limited numbers. Only abstract I would poverty for here is make greetings for these closed calls. You could intend pretty fictive with telemarketers!

MANAGE VOICEMAIL LIKE GMAIL
Makes cleanup discover your voicemail, action messages and such much easier.

I’ll permit you every muse the some structure this could meliorate people’s lives but there IS a field jumping to intend over… you’ll hit to modify your phone number. Google has to distribute you a phone sort that EVERYONE you undergo uses which module reroute your phone to the sort you desire. It has to be a assorted sort in visit to work, so you’ll hit to go finished the discompose and botheration of effort your phone sort changed.

I astonishment if there is a artefact to assuage this irritation? The another abstract is… grouping COULD ease call your phone direct if they desired to, bypassing the different benefits and measures that Google Voice takes. If that was the case, it would be a beatific intent to intend a completely newborn radiophone phone sort too, since you won’t actually be “giving it out” to anyone and it module exclusive be utilised as a rerouting issue.

My individualized large discourse is how some grouping are selection to place ALLLLL of this consortium with their individualized life, playing life, EVERYTHING chronicle into one company. Google genuinely module be the guardian of your life’s connectivity. Owning your internet feeding with Chrome, your phone with Android, your EMail with GMail and your phone NUMBER with Google Voice? I don’t care… I fuck Google and I poverty this - not afeard to adjudge it!

Lots to speech about… lets center it!?!??!? When do you conceive this module start to the generalized public?
