Google Voice What is it?

It’s a web-based service that gives your contacts a voice number and forwards it to multiple phones. The Google Voice app also lets you screen calls, block numbers, and apply rules to each caller.

1. When you receive a voice message, Google Voice transcribes it and sends you a notification via email or text message.
2. To use the Google Voice app on Android, you must first sign up on the official website.
3. To do this, you must have a Gmail account, since you will need to create the phone number that you receive from the system.
4. Once you have the assigned phone number, you will receive a call from Google indicating a two-digit code. This information is required to complete the registration process.
5. After this process, you can install the application from the Play Storeto use the voice service.
