Doc tips his hat to Google today. Not sure how long this offer is going to last, but Google is providing invites to military members for their Google Voice application. Google Voice is in beta and I’m a huge fan. In a nutshell, Google Voice provides you with a single number, that you keep forever. You give this number to friends, family and co-workers. On your personal Google Voice page you provide the phone number for the phone or phones you want to ring when someone dials your Google Voice number. For instance, I set up my Google Voice number to ring both my mobile phone and my phone at work. I can further specify to only ring my phone at work on Monday through Friday.
Features extend beyond simple call-forwarding. You also get transcribed voice-mail messages and free SMS – all available from your own personal Google Voice page. So why would Google want military members to have access to Google Voice? Because it also includes some pretty inexpensive overseas long distance rates (starting at 2¢ per minute) and you get to use your own phone, not VOIP software such as Skype.
Google Voice is highly recommended and I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to features. So if you have a military e-mail account (any account ending in .mil), visit the link below and sign up. Once you explore Google Voice features, I'm sure you'll thank me!
