Google Voice Reviews & Product Details

I like that I can use it to receive texts from contacts even after I've changed my phone. I can use it from my desktop, just need a good wifi connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not able to use it on my phone when I am out of the country. It syncs with the phone carrier and charges even when I try to use it on wifi. Not sure if this is a settings issue on my part or just how it functions on the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Back in the day, i used the free version and as a starter with no bells and whistles, it works great because it's free. So if you want something super SUPER basic and free, there ya go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a business that needs a user friendly system that covers the basics for a phone system and Google Voice couldn't even handle that AND they charged a crazy amount each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The archive feature is helpful in staying organized. The seamless transition between computer and phone means staying connected easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GV is not ideal for naming a group thread. If I need to include 3 contacts instead of a primary number, the search feature is inconsistent in accomplishing that. Copying and pasting is a consistent challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you use Google workspace or products, the ease of just one more Google product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though I have used the same Google Voice number for almost 10 years and have never used for selling/cold calls, it shows up as "Spam Likely" when people receive a call from my Google Voice number. There are actually less things that can be done with the number at this point - I can no longer set my business name as the caller ID, it has always been a little glitchy and so I am looking at other options.

I was in need of texting clients, but I didn't want to use my personal cell number and my business/desk phone wouldn't work. I like being able to quickly and easily set-up a free Google Voice number that I could use on my computer and text clients with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Voice function is basic versus the paid options available through other companies and wasn't able to do as much as other companies. It worked for us but we ended up needing our texting service to do more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to give a different number than my main number in cases where the number might end up sold to other companies. You can also choose what region you want the phone number to be for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price and the included features are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are limitations with porting over phone numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easily Google voice integrates with contacts and your personal cell phone. Although I use Vonage more for business needs, I find Google Voice much easier to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that I can only change my number once each year. It wouldn't be an issue, except I was never told of this limit until after I made the change. I wish it had a slightly more attractive user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes calling people in other countries incredibly simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It only works with a limited number of providers and you need to be in the US to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty easy to use once setup is complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup process was not the easiest. I had to Google how to use most of the functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
