I have not tried it yet. But was going to give it a shot. My big concern is blocking anyone from seeing my number when I return a call. I don’t answer text of people I don’t know. So that is no big deal. Also sending all 800 & 866 numbers straight to voicemail. If they are legitimate they will leave a message.

I think it would be great to be able to send sms messages with your voice like you can with Jott (www.jott.com). Google already has speech to text technology in the system since voicemails are trasnscribed. With Jott you can call and pick a contact (via voice commands) and speak what you would like to text. The messages is then sent via SMS to whatever contact you picked.

Why do this when there’s someone out there who does it already? Jott is not a free service. I hope google voice comes out with this, I have already suggested it though who knows what kind of netherland suggestions to google go into.

Completely agree with you on the multiple recipient SMS note; That’s been a big hitching point.

The other thing, and I’m not sure how they plan to easily get around this, is the showing of your actual cell phone number when texting to people!

I would love to send out a mass text message saying, hey, here’s my new number [insert google voice # here], but then they get a text from my 727 number if I’m not by a PC…

Google voice has great features but why it’s available only in US. There are other good services that available worldwide like text2land.com service that allow you to send sms to landline phones.
