Google Voice is close to launch

Google had announced earlier this year their new service named Google Voice.

Google Voice is based on the GrandCentral service that they acquired a couple of years ago.

The company has apparently already reserved 1 million phone numbers with Level 3 as they are nearing the public launch of the service.

Google Voice has been designed to provide users with a single unified number which can be used to divert calls to multiple phones.

The beta testers are pretty happy with the service.

The service would include some really useful features like call transfer between a user’s devices, multi-party conferencing, conversion of voice calls to text messages, cut-rate international calling, and call transcription.

It is also going to be integrated with the user’s contact list on Gmail for a unified address book.

Google has officially declined to reveal any launch date. But it is pretty clear that they are pretty close to the launch in the US market.
