The world has been waiting for this! Google has stepped up to the plate
with a mind boggling suite of telephone services! To begin with, they give
you your own phone number that you can publish on your cards, letterheads,
faxes and ads. Then when someone is trying to reach you the "follow me"
technology will ring your office, home, mobile phone - in short any numbers
you program in will ring simultaneously until you pick up the line that is
most convenient for you.
In addition to the "find me" incoming call service that will locate you -
no matter where you are, what makes this service extra special are the
other bells and whistles including. voice-mail transcription so you can
read your messages at your leisure, custom greetings you can program by
caller, sharing voice mails, free SMS, call blocking, conference calls,
call screening -- Plus plus plus!
This service has been in "invitation only" mode for a while - but they are
speeding up their acceptance time frame which makes it worthwhile to jump
in and apply. After all the price is right - it"s on the house.
