How Google Voice Works:
Think of Google Voice as a personal answering service, using one free number to reach all your linked devices. Never miss a call again! Customize call routing by contact and time of day. For example, direct calls from friends to your mobile and work calls to voicemail after hours. Record calls with a simple tap and store them indefinitely. Voicemails are transcribed and delivered to your chosen devices. The app also features automatic spam call filtering and number blocking. Manage and personalize call forwarding, texts, and voicemails within the settings menu.
