Google Voice Available for BlackBerry and Android, yet Rejected by Apple

Google has recently unveiled a new mobile application for Google Voice, allowing users to receive calls with one phone number on multiple devices. Google Voice is only available for BlackBerry and Android users at the moment, as Apple has just rejected and removed the application from its App Store.

The application allows users to place calls and text messages directly from the Google Voice number they have chosen. Users no longer have to type in the phone numbers they want to call. They will now be able to access the numbers directly from their phone's address book, with their Google Voice number displayed as the caller ID in outbound calls.

In addition, the application is capable of screening or blocking unwanted calls during certain times, such as weekends. Recordings of your voicemails along with machine transcription of the messages can be sent to your e-mail account. Other great features include conference calling, greeting personalization, and cheap international dialing starting at $0.02 per minute.

Debuted in March 2009, the original Google Voice service is suitable for both landline telephones and mobile handsets. It is limited to certain users who are invited by Google itself, while other users have to apply for the service. The new Google voice application, which is released in mid July, is compatible with BlackBerry smartphones and other cell phones that run on Google’s Android operating system. Although Google had submitted the Google voice application to Apple’s App Store, Apple did not approve the service on its iPhones, which explains why Google Voice app were only released for BlackBerry and Android.

If you have a BlackBerry, you can visit m.google.com/voice on your smartphone to use Google Voice. Android phone owners can also find the application through Android Market. More information and a video overview can be found here. This new application can surely ease your communication problems on multiple devices significantly.
