Erin, I actually like google voice and I think the app interface with my phone works well. But I just wanted to mention that the first time someone calls it asks them to say their name. I thought it would be off-putting to my clients so I paid fo a separate line. YCustomersMV, of course.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Oh, that would have been good to know. Well, then, I totally love Google Voice and I'm glad I learned something new.

Google Voice tip:
I customize my outgoing message based on caller id (Beau gets one that is a bit different from my standard) and I have a more formal outgoing message to unknown callers.
I also have the occasion to block callers due to spam, or repeated wrong numbers.
It is not easy to search your GV contacts for those you have set up special rules for, so I make note of it in the "notes" area of the contact, so I can search on that if I need to change/remove a call rule later.

you can have Google Voice turn off this feature.
You can even have it on for some people and off for others (using Groups).

Hey. New board.
Why do I always read the comments on things like that?

Heh, ita, I forwarded that to Dan. He's always scoffing at TV: "THAT would never happen! WTFF! ARGH."
But I turned him on to Leverage by showing him the geekslinger showdown clip between Hodge and Wheaton.
So, Ive been researching Google Voice, and I don't want to pay: this is my understanding so far. Let me know if I'm Gettin' It Rong:
Basically, I would get the Google Voice number, and give that to clients, but I would also need to send the new number out to friends and family?
If people called my regular cell number instead of the GV number, I wouldn't be able to utilize the GV features? Am I reading the info right?
