Use Google Voice To Enhance Your Cell Phone Voicemail
You can now add the voicemail features of Google Voice to your existing cell phone service for free. Check out the Google Blog post and Engadget.
More specifically, if you sign up for Google Voice with your existing number, you’ll get:
* Online, searchable voicemail
* Free automated voicemail transcription
* Custom voicemail greetings for different callers
* Email and SMS notifications
* Low-priced international calling
If you already have a Google Voice account, go to Settings and look for a link by your cell phone number. If you want one, people have been getting their invite requests filled within a few days. Don’t forget all the ways you can save money with Google Voice.
It would be convenient to have voicemail-to-text sent automatically via SMS. However, currently it appears that Sprint does not support free call forwarding and charges 20 cents per minute, so I’m left out for now. A short explanatory video from Google is below:
