Google Voice Works in Calgary, Canada – Media Magnet Knows How!
If you’ve been listening to all the buzz on the net right now about the future of voicemail with Google Voice you were likely as disappointed as I was to hear that even after receiving an invite to use the service, it’s not available in Canada. With a little bit of research I was able to find that Google voice works natively with a 403 area code, potentially allowing Calgarians to utilize this service before other Canadians!
The problem you’ll encounter when trying to setup the service is getting through the invite screen that knows your not connecting to the internet in the U.S. This is actually an easy fix, and with a few quick steps you can have Google Voice setup on your phone in no time.
Here is a step by step way to get your Google Voice setup if your are living in Calgary or have a 403 area code: Read More
Amazing New Google Voice Features
Google Voice (GV) was launched on 11 March 2009, based on GrandCentral, with new features, including voicemail transcriptions and SMS managing. Currently, the service is available by invite only to anyone living in the United States. (There is a loophole! Read our next post on GV in Calgary and 403 area codes!) You can request an invite from Google here.
A breakthrough in the way we use voicemail, Google Voice organizes all of your voicemails from all of your phones, transcribes them to text and will even send them to you as a text message. For a more detailed feature list, visit Wikipedia and learn about how GV can transform how you use voicemail.
Below is a video explaining why Google decided Google Voice was a good idea. The video also talks about some other great features of the service. To learn more, you can check out similar videos as featured in the YouTube sidebar, or search YouTube for your favorite Google Voice feature! Read More
