Google Voice

[Owen Densmore]

Does anyone use Google Voice?  Could you share your experiences?  Which options you use?  How's it work?

For folks not familiar with GV, its a stunt that lets you manage your phone number(s) somewhat like you do for DNS: one number for *you* not your devices.  And it works for wifi calling too so it lets you even include your ipod as a phone!  .. I think .. thus the question to the groups.

I have a Google Voice number (see below).  It seems to work. I've never tried it for anything more complex than receiving calls.  One interesting (if often laughable feature) is that it takes voice-mail messages and forwards them to you as email text -- or at least what its voice recognition system thinks is the equivalent text. It's often so mangled I often can't figure out what it's trying to say.
