Do you know about Google Voice? I remember reading about it quite a while ago but forgot about it until all the recent buzz online got my attention again. It’s one of the newest of the newfangled ways to keep in touch – no matter where you are or what phone happens to be handy.
Instead of trying to completely re-invent the wheel, I’ll just let you check out the official website to learn all the details. If you already have a Google account, you can log in there and request an invitation to Google Voice. It is still in its early stages so you may have to be patient. While you are waiting, you can find lots of info about Google Voice and various Google Voice apps for cell phones online. Here’s a video you can start with. 
One important change has already been implamented in Google Voice since this video was made. It seems you can now use an existing phone number instead of (or along with) a Google assigned number. Some of the functions are not accessible if you use an existing number however so be sure to check here for a comparison and a couple more videos.
I think this new service could prove to be very handy. How about you? If I ever get my invitation from Google, I’ll try it out and give you an update.
