Google Voice

So rarely do I review anything… I am to random to do things like that, and that takes a little more structure than what I am capable of. But a friend of mine sent me an email and asked if I had google voice on my Blackberry, and so I started researching it. I was a little bummed to find out I had to wait to be invited, that sucks… so I searched more about it, and who new you can buy invites on ebay for less than $2. So… when I want something I am the type of person to find a way to get it, right away!

I hit buy it now and within 15 minutes I recieved my invite. So I set it all up. Now I haven’t really used it too much from my phone. I haven’t yet called anyone… but I LOVE the voicemail feature. I have set it up to over ride my voicemail from Tmobile. Anytime someone leaves a message I get an email, and it tells me what they said in text, and I still have the option to play it and listen to it. Now, let me tell you why this is so very awesome. I hate voicemail and I rarely check it. So when I do there is generally 14+ messages. So whats the point right… they are then old and really pointless. By the time I listen to them I have probably spoke with that person or texted them several times. With this I don’t have to check them, they come through like a text message and my life is easier, and I don’t have to fuss with something I didn’t like doing in the first place. THANK YOU GOOGLE!

I also get a cool little widget that I can put here on the blog and you can call me… as if you wanted to hear my sexy voice, nope you are not ready for that, trust me, lol! I get a google phone number in case I don’t want to give out my real number, keep the stalkers at bay… great idea! I can screen all calls, and have the ability to block numbers… awesome feature from a cell… LOVE IT!

I am quite impressed with google and all there little gadgets and apps that they have. I have been using goog-411 for awhile, and have it saved into my phone, love it. It is super simple and always gives me what I need super quick, I used to use 1-800-Free-411, and omg that sucked!

I am still playing around with google voice, I have set some special voicemail messages to specific people, which I think is great, and I may abuse this feature when someone pisses me off… they probably won’t want to call me… but I recommend this to anyone that has a capable phone… and if you don’t it’s probably time for you to upgrade anyways… if you are excited about this ( I do have the ability to excite people.. in many ways, haha!) go ahead and check out ebay for an invite, spend the 1.80 and get yours, I am glad I did… otherwise make sure you request your invite, if you are one of those patient people.
