Google Voice Reviews & Product Details

I like that my parents can reach me on my cellphone without having my personal number. I can also set it up so that I know it is a parent calling in particular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are some technical issues, including not always ringing or sending a notification to my phone when someone messages me. I often won't know until I check my email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Free version, easy to set up as with all Google Suite tools. Ability to have call forwarding is nice. Just generally having a virtual number is nice so I don't have to give out my personal number, but many services provide this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doesn't integrate with automation tools like Zapier. Doesn't have shared inbox features that a lot of other services provide. When using call forwarding, you can't see who is calling, just that it is a call forwarded from your Google Voice number Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using a Google Voice number to contact people without giving my cell phone number. It is also very convenient to access phone calls from a variety of devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The notifications do not always work as I would like. You have to constantly check your phone to ensure you aren't missing anything. Also, the calls coming in are not identified as Google Voice calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that Google Voice make provision for a Free trial. The general user interface is simple and easy to understand. The quality of the calls is top notch too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is a tough one as Google Voice is an awesome tool and clearly some steps ahead of others in the industry. Google Voice ticks all the boxes for me. There are no drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it's free and I was able to get a number that corresponds with the state I'm living in. I can have a second line without needing a second phone. When I miss a call or text, I get notified via email and am able to listen to voicemails through email and even respond to texts. This was a great option when I needed to text a client back but wasn't able to access my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The "do not disturb" option doesn't really work. It will still send notifications to the phone about the google voice activity. This isn't the greatest when you're needing a break from work. It's also hard to save contacts to just the google voice app. I also haven't been able to send or receive pictures or videos even though it shows them as sent.
