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

I don't understand why you ask for feedback if you never do anything about clear bugs. I have reported the same bug about five times over the last 2 years with no feedback . I use Google voice and it is set up as my outgoing call number even if I start with my native phone app. It works fine on my phone. But, when I make a hands-free call in my car via Android Auto, it does not recognize Google voice as the default and makes the call via my native number.

It probably has to do with older version of Android. After uninstalled and re-installed this app, I still get black screens and cannot press any buttons (don't ask for pressing 1 or 2, just answer or hang up) or switch to other apps when making a call. I also have a suggestion which is, if we accidentally deleted some information inside a contact and saved it, it'll be super helpful to allow three recalls! Cannot search for a simple word like "Kaiser" in text messages that I sent to people.

It's great for international travel. It's been my primary US phone number for several years. The calls are only as good as my cellular or Wi-Fi connection. Texting is not it's best feature. It works but it's clumsy and awkward. I also wish The search access to my contacts was better. All in all I like the app very much and plan on using it going forward.
