How Google Voice Functions:

Imagine a personal answering service, but better. Google Voice acts as a central hub, routing calls to your chosen devices based on your preferences. Customize call routing by contact or time of day – direct calls from friends to your mobile, while routing work calls to voicemail after hours. Record calls with a simple tap and securely store them. Voicemails are transcribed and delivered to your linked devices. Furthermore, the app offers robust features such as number blocking and spam call filtering. Manage call forwarding, texts, and voicemails through intuitive settings.
