How Will Google® Voice Affect Your Business?

March 16, 2009

Have you ever deleted a voicemail, only to realize that you forgot to write down something important like a phone number or address? Ever cleared your text message inbox before saving the messages you wanted to keep? Do you find it annoying that you have to check your work phone, mobile phone, and home phone messages through separate outlets?

The above issues have probably applied to all of us at one time or another. Google Voice is the Google® solution to those problems. Google Voice is a service that allows you to view written transcripts of your voice mail; creates archives of your text messages; and reroutes calls and texts to different phone lines to one line of your choice.

Google Voice is still new, so the service isn’t open to everyone just yet; however, the impact Google Voice will have on the communication industry is already apparent. Business owners will especially benefit. Think about it: Instead of taking the time to listen to your clients’ voicemails, which can often be long and detailed, you’ll be able to view them all in an easy-to-read text format. Instead of worrying about missing calls to your business phone while you’re on the go, your calls will be directed right to your mobile phone. Google Voice has the potential to increase the efficiency of certain business procedures, as well as make all of our lives just a little more convenient.
