Google Voice Lets You Use Your Existing Number
When you take calls through your Google number, it allows you to use features like call recording, call screening and getting text messages via email. Before, you are required to use a new number when you want to use Google Voice. But, now you can conveniently use your existing phone number to access your voicemail.
Having too many phone numbers is a hassle for everybody. Imagine having to note down and memorize each one of them and everyone hates it to be switching to a new phone number also. When Google announce that they have granted the wish of those people who wants to use their existing number for Google Voice, everyone was delighted. Now, you can have the chance to use your existing phone number or use a new Google number, whoever suits you best.
When you have your own Google Voice account already, you just have to add Google Voicemail to your mobile phone that you have linked your account to. But, if you’re new and want to start using this platform, you can ask a friend who has a Google Voice account to send you an invite or you can also request for one if you still have no luck from your friends.
Of course, there’s a catch if you want to use your existing phone number. There are some limitations on your ability to use Google Voice’s features if you opt to use your existing number. If you want full access and want to get hold of all the functionality of Google Voice, better choose to have a new Google number instead.
