Google Voice

We recently were introduced to a new tool - Google Voice. Google Voice allows you to connect all of your phones through one group, meaning all of your phones will ring if a call is received. This can be handy if you're away, but somebody does not know and calls your home or work phone. You can easily pick up from Manhattan, the Bahamas, Gallifrey or wherever you happen to be. Assuming there is phone service on Gallifrey. When you create your Google Voice account, it will ask you if you would like to create a free phone number, to which you should agree. It will ask you to input a city or ZIP code, and will find available numbers in your area. When you have set up your number, simply send an activation code to any and every phone that you wish to be contacted, and voila! All you need to do is give people the Google number in place of your phone number, and you're ready to go. You can also make calls from Google Voice, and receive calls through the website. You do have to pay for long-distance calls, but it costs a matter of pennies, so the Bahamas should only cost, maybe, half an American dollar, and Gallifrey about 300 American dollars (If you don't know, Gallifrey is a fictional planet from the British cult television show Doctor Who. It spoils the joke, but some of you would probably assume that it's just Google's prices if I didn't explain it). I'd call that a good deal!
