Google Voice and you: what it is and how you can use it
Permalink   

Interesting.......

With so much news lately about Google Voice, those who haven't kept up on every tiny development have found themselves lost. What exactly is Google Voice? Is it a phone redirecting service? VoIP? Voicemail? All of the above? None of the above? Even some of our staff members are confused about what Google Voice offers and why people would want to use it, so we thought it would be helpful to offer a guide to Google Voice for those just tuning in.

Google Voice originated as GrandCentral, an independent company that hit the scene in 2005. GrandCentral allowed users to register a new phone number and direct it to ring multiple phones; it could also collect messages and act as your personal switchboard operator. This sounds boring on the surface, but it provided a number of cool features, such as the ability to listen in on voicemail messages as they were being left or to tell a specific number that your phone number is no longer connected (great for stalkers and crazed PR people, who are kind of like stalkers). Google acquired GrandCentral in 2007, and promptly sat on the project for nearly two years before it relaunched the service as Google Voice in March of 2009.


Google Voice and You

Hi Moh,

Apparently you are not allowed to access Google voice from Iran. It must be forbidden by your government. I can not tell you why that is. disbelief.gif

I know the internet's situation in Iran very well...but can not understand why others, like google and many other sites, forbid us to access their facilities!!!!

Best Wishes,

I don't believe any site outside Iran is forbidding you the use of their facilities, Moh.
Take a look at this site.
Best Regards!
