Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Skype and other VoIP companies had ample time, close to had a decade to innovate and give unmatched consumer experience which never happened.
We all know Google doesn't do things traditionally and always want its Engineers / Scientists to give the WoW effect to its end users. Early reports suggest that 4 terrific features of Google Voice are being appreciated by the community.
Screening of Incoming Calls - You have options - divert it to voice mail, listen to the voicemail while the caller leaves a message, answer and record the conversation.
Routing - Google's algorithms allow you to route the calls to cellphone, wireline number or even make this as a primary phone
Transcripts of Voicemail - Google voice mail will let the customer have voicemail as a transcript [Not sure how efficient it is]
Easy Switching Between Calls - Using the "*" key and other options youcan easily switch between your curent conversation and other incoming calls.
