Recently got an invite to Google Voice. Its Google’s approach to VoIP.
Features I like:
Record incoming calls. Which can then be emailed or downloaed as mp3 file or simply embedded on a website.
Customized greetings for your contacts (currently you can only record greeting from your phone, in future ability to upload an mp3 file as a greeting may be added)
Voicemail transcripts. Although its not perfect if the caller has an accent or is drunk :>
Ability to block unwanted callers i.e SPAM control (Telemarketers and old girlfriends will be frustrated)
Call screening and Listen In
Add as amany numbers to your GV number -work, home, office, mobile etc and answer your calls from any one of them based on your settings and who the caller is.
international rates (rate to pak is 0.09 cents / minute when i use my iPhone combined with Google Voice)
Features I’d like added:
being able to send and receive (emailed as a pdf to my email addrress) FAX
ability to record outbound calls
push SMS notification
I have add Sean KovacsGV Mobile app for iPhone to integrate Google Voice on my iPhone.
LOL Topi, only Google has the ability to send invites. And from what i have heard, this *service is only available to US residents.

Yes that is a crap. I live in USA but wanted a Canada number but the service is not available for Canada right now.
