About this app

Google Voice gives you a phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. It works on smartphones and computers, and syncs across your devices so you can use the app in the office, at home, or on the go.

NOTE: Google Voice only works for personal Google Accounts in the US and Google Workspace accounts in select markets. Text messaging is not supported in all markets.

You're in control
Get spam filtered automatically and block numbers you don’t want to hear from. Manage your time with personalized settings for forwarding calls, text messages, and voicemail.

Backed up and searchable
Calls, text messages, and voicemails are stored and backed up to make it easy for you to search your history.

Manage messages across devices
Send and receive individual and group SMS messages from all your devices.

Your voicemail, transcribed
Google Voice provides advanced voicemail transcriptions that you can read in the app and/or have sent to your email.

Save on international calling
Make international calls at competitive rates without paying extra for international minutes with your mobile carrier.

Keep in mind:
• Google Voice is currently only available in the US. Google Voice for Google Workspace users is available in select countries. Check with your administrator for access.
• Calls made using Google Voice for Android can be placed through a Google Voice access number. All access number based calls use the standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs (e.g. when traveling internationally).

Not recognized by android as an SMS app. No group text. SMS support is terrible, no multiple photo, no video. Can't route to GV # for only non contacts or certain people. Can't view texts or reply in Android Auto. Caller ID is WRONG for your number, can't set it and nobody knows who is calling them. No text thread search. Digits do not work on many calls. Can't add numbers to phone book. Web or mobile don't stop ringing when one handles the call.

Another app I never downloaded, but this hacker has it on my phone. The hacker uses these kinds of apps and Google developer program/tools to steal, harass, spy and cut a person off from the world. My phones settings are constantly being changed. Any account I set up they immediately changed the password or lock it up. They install management programs so they control everything and forward all calls and text. if you can actually make a call it's then recorded. Even my group meetings that are HIP
