From today, signing up for a Google Voice account doesn't required you to pick a new phone number -- not a pleasant option for those who have kept the same digits for years. Now Google has enabled users to keep their existing phone numbers and get (most of) the features Google Voice offers, including Google's well-rounded voicemail service.
Keeping your own phone number gives you:
* Online, searchable voicemail
* Free automated voicemail transcription
* Custom voicemail greetings for different callers
* Email and SMS notifications
* Low-priced international calling
Going for the full package Google will give you all of the above plus:
* One number that reaches you on all your phones
* SMS via email
* Call screening
* Listen In
* Call recording
* Conference calling
* Call blocking
Note: If you already have a Google Voice number, you can add the voicemail option to any mobile phone associated with the account, isn't that nice?
Some of the Google Voice features are explained in these videos:
