Google Voice and Gizmo5 - the future of voice.

This is a good review on Google Voice and Gizmo5 SIP phone service.

In March 2009, Google released a preview of Google Voice, an application that helps you better manage your voice communications. The Google Voice service is currently invitation only and will be its next big step in Unified Communications for Google.

The Google Voice application improves the way you use your phone. Google Voice offers a host of great features, including a single number to ring your home, work, and mobile phones, a central voicemail inbox that you could access on the web, and the ability to screen calls by listening in live as callers leave a voicemail. You also can get transcripts of your voicemail and archive and search all of the SMS text messages you send and receive. You can also use the service to make low priced international calls and easily access Goog-411 directory assistance.

    I wonder how this will play out. To me the best aspects of this look like the ability to get transcripts of my voice mail. My biggest challenge is managing voice mail.

    Good service. I utilized it when it was Grand Central (before the Google acquisition). Recently received my new account from Google (Voice) and currently testing the new service.

What do you think?
