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.

Ratings and reviews

It's generally reliable and as good as it gets for a VOIP service. Thank you for the free phone number. Otherwise, I find the interface is too segmented for calls and texting - would be great to see call and text history at the same time. Web Interface is the same, too fragmented. Seems like it is not really improved or "updated" much ...? And, updating contacts must be done outside of the Voice app... It's Very clunky to update or search for contacts.

Update: I have had multiple issues with app, but once you delete and re-install it should fix them. I will add that the record call feature never works...it has worked twice for me and the message is made after being on a call for 30 mins or more. I will say the quality of the call is always good and it allows short codes which is also great as some textfree apps do not. It has a voicemail transcript, even spams calls and text. You have to check it tho because it spammed my dad calls a few times

Getting blocked from sending multiple messages to different people as it comes off like I'm spam, but I'm trying to run a business. If the terms have a limit on amount of texts that can be sent, then it's not a good app for businesses. Also miss a lot of calls. Added issue - the missed calls don't register as calls if the person leaves a voicemail. So then if you delete the voicemail, it never looks like that person even called. Hard with keeping track of calls.
