How Google Voice Works
Google Voice acts like a personal answering service, using a single free number to reach all your connected devices, ensuring you never miss a call. Customize which devices ring for specific contacts and times. For example, route calls from friends to your smartphone and work calls to voicemail after hours. Record calls with a button press and save them indefinitely. Voicemails are transcribed and sent to different devices. The app also offers options to block numbers and filter spam calls automatically. Manage and personalize call forwarding, texts, and voicemails in the settings.
