In a nutshell

Google is a search engine; so Google Voice is… Searchable voice? In a way, yes. Google takes the traditional method of calling, leaving/checking voicemails, and communication in general and puts it in a whole new light. Google Voice users can sign up for a Google number; one single number to use that will ring any combination of your other numbers. This eliminates confusion of voicemail boxes, and eases the process of getting back to someone. Users can define when certain numbers should be called, and can send particular callers to particular phones as well. In addition, Google has streamlined the voicemail process to include voicemail transcription, as well as sharing voicemails, and the ability to archive voicemails.

Why is it useful?

Users of Google Voice can streamline the way people get a hold of them. For instance, a user can designate a Google Voice number, and get notified of a voicemail via SMS, email, or the mobile application. They can make international calls through Google Voice’s app, or the dialer on some phones at just pennies per minute to most countries. Google Voice makes archiving, searching, and organizing voicemails simple, through its online portal.
