Google has officially adopted the method I use to forward my voicemail to Google Voice [previous post] as Google Voicemail!Of course I did not invent any of this, I just found a way for existing available technology to work for my needs, so I doubt I’ll get any credit for it, but I’m happy to see it as an available option presented to all Google Voice users right from within Google Voice itself.
As an added bonus Google Voicemail apparently allows you to use Google Voice without having to set up a separate Google Voice phone number (so in a way it’s like keeping your original number but switching your voicemail carrier). There are some downfalls to this though, a few features that I personally LOVE about Google Voice would be unavailable like how Google Voice rings all of your phones until you pick one up to answer the call.
In any case it is awesome to see this service evolving into something that seems a little more practical for the every day user.
