[quote name='dejeckt']@A Gamer - Did you win? Did you use multiple accounts? Off topic, but what is google voice? Is it a free alternative phone number you can manage via google? Does it work with only specific carriers? How will my phone bill charged for incoming/outgoing calls and text messages from that number? Sorry, just really curious on saving a couple of dollars on me phone bill and having an additional number.[/QUOTE]
Yes, I did win... A couple days ago.
Google Voice is a slick way to consolidate many phone numbers into 1, and keep that one number even though you may end up having to change your actual cell/landline numbers. Not sure if you will save anything on your phone bill, but there are no fees for receiving calls via that number (you still have to have a real phone number that it forwards your calls to). And, next time you move, or change wireless carriers, you won't have to give all your friends your new number... Just update your Google Voice settings, and done.
The only phone number I give out is my google voice number, and when people call it, it rings on my cell, my home phone and my phone at work, all at the same time. So, 1 number to rule them all.
You can also call out using that number, but I don't use that feature so I don't really know how it works, or if there are any fees. But, if I remember right, the only time there are fees is if you are initiating an international call.
