I sometime wonder how we ever managed to survive with out Google in our lives. How different do you think things would be if it was Lougle instead. (You know what I mean.) This handy little ability is over on the left hand side of the account tucked neatly inside your GChat/GTalk section. I never really thought about using it in my email account before. It sure would have been handy while my cell service was suspended.
For the lesser informed, there is also an Android App for this. It provides you with cheap international calls, transcribed VM and sending and receiving free SMS. It is a pretty wicked service. Plus you get a secondary number attached to your device. This solves many issues for many people. You can port a number into Google Voice or get a new number. Use it for what ever you want.
