About this app

Google Voice gives you a phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. It works on smartphones and computers, and syncs across your devices so you can use the app in the office, at home, or on the go.

NOTE: Google Voice only works for personal Google Accounts in the US and Google Workspace accounts in select markets. Text messaging is not supported in all markets.

Backed up and searchable
Calls, text messages, and voicemails are stored and backed up to make it easy for you to search your history.

Keep in mind:
• Google Voice is currently only available in the US. Google Voice for Google Workspace users is available in select countries. Check with your administrator for access.
• Calls made using Google Voice for Android can be placed through a Google Voice access number. All access number based calls use the standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs (e.g. when traveling internationally).

Ratings and reviews

I am unable to use my number for Google voice. If Google wouldn't have made it so difficult to record calls; I wouldn't be searching for hours to find a call app to go around this mess. :( Updated due to response from devs: Thanks for the help I thought about switching to this after looking up what you sent. Unfortunately I still need data in order to use my device to the fullest. The free call and message option looks amazing. I tried linking my number, let's see if I can get it to work.

Nice that I can text from my computer and my phone and have access across platforms. Update 10/30/24 I had to dock a couple stars for the absolute lack of useful updates, even in paid accounts. Where are RCS and video calls, even if it's only integration with Google Meets? Google Voice is an afterthought. When Duo was discontinued, I expected a lot of those functionalities to be merged with Google Voice. The only positive is that it's free.

I honestly think most of the reviews are fake because this is the most unreliable app ever. Always crashing, or "syncing" not allowing me to send pictures with my text messages, and worst of all, spam. Google allows spam/scam calls and messages, and I get them every single day. I honestly keep this app around in case I lose my phone and I need to retrieve contacts.
