Great for business calls
Reviewed on 19/11/2023
Pros
Google Voice provides a free phone number that you can sync to any device with Wi-Fi. I can make and receive calls/texts to my phone, meanwhile keeping my personal phone number separate and operate my business without carrying around another device.
Cons
Some businesses and services do not support VoIP phone numbers.

Essential tool in property and guest management for streamlining communication!
Reviewed on 05/03/2024
Pros
Google Voice is a fantastic tool I've incorporated into my business from Day 1. Most business owners would prefer not to give out their personal phone number to clients and that's where Google Voice jumps in! I've used Google Voice for managing my MTRs and STRs and it has been an essential part of my business from communicating with guests via texts to jumping on a call with them for emergency questions or concerns. Highly recommend to other business owners!
Cons
No cons that I can think of other than sometimes, the voicemail transcription doesn't work.

It wasn't the best because at times, I needed to use this type of service, and wasn't able to due to not having a cell phone number to attach to the account.
Pros
You didn't need to pay for the service in order to use Google Voice.
Cons
Google Voice ensures you have a working telephone number to connect to your account to use the service.

Simple VOIP
Reviewed on 31/05/2024
Pros
Set up for Google voice was extremely easy. When I needed a business number, I was able to create an account and pick a number in under 30 minutes. This application can make calls on its own through Internet, and it is able to make calls through my carrier if necessary.
Cons
The Google voice app on iOS can be a bit buggy at times.

Easy to use contact center
Reviewed on 06/02/2024
Pros
I like how Google Voice was attached to my email. If I missed something on Google Voice, I still had things come through in other spots I would see it.
Cons
Google Voice only allowed for a specific amount of contacts. We met the limit fairly fast and then had no capability of adding any more.

How Google Voice Affects Our Day to Day Life

Google Voice has helped life continue on normally longer. It has certainly contributed to the general wellbeing of countless men and women all over The United States of America, and is a great addition to any office or home.
Pros
This product is amazingly useful for the differently abled community. My father has been diagnosed with ALS for over a year, and Google Voice and similar programs are integral to his day to day functioning, as finger mobility has decreased. This program helps countless differently abled men and women to still perform their day to day tasks and has been necessary for my father to continue working.
Cons
The biggest annoyance is that the texting feature is limited to the USA, which I understand due to the difficulties of incorporating it globally from both a financial and practicality standpoint. There are only a few instances where it would be nice to text folks from other countries, though, so thankfully it is not a huge issue.

Love being able to use my own cell phone and provide me the privacy of not having clients have access to my personal number.

Wish there was a way to distinguish when a call was coming through my Google line versus regular line.

Great option for small business owners!
Reviewed on 27/10/2023
Pros
I have been using Google Voice as my primary business line instead of a land line for over a year now and it's so nice to have a local phone number and to have potential clients be directed to this number instead of my personal cell phone. I also like that Google Voice transcribes voicemails automatically.
Cons
Occasionally there are some minor connection/clarity issues.

Overall experience is fantastic
Pros
I love Google voice. I love Google because of wonderful apps like this. I have been using this for 13 years. Therefore for 13 years of different carriers, numbers and plans. Thought these changes one thing has been the same and that's my Google voice number that piggybacks off any carrier I am with and if in not I can still be reachable by my Google voice number
Cons
I don't like that u need an actual phone. Number already to set up your own number caus otherwise you get. Number that either u can't call out or call in...I forget Im 13 years in from the I initial set up

I have used this since 2020 when I was contacting parents more frequently. I always use Google Voice as my work number for parents to contact me on. I do not have to give out a personal number and it helps to create more professional boundaries. It’s also so easy to be able to use my phone to call rather than use a school landline .
Pros
I can contact student parents via text or voice without using my personal number.
Cons
The fact that it uses a different number to call out can be confusing, but you just have to realize it and get used to it.
