It’s hard to believe, but it’s a year to the day since we first launched Google Voice!

One of the best things about this past year has been receiving tons of helpful feedback and ideas from our users. We wanted to thank you for letting us know what you think, and we hope you like the improvements we’ve made since then. Some of the most popular features that debuted during our first year included:

We’re happy with the work so far, and we appreciate your support, but there’s still a lot to be done, so enough cake. Time to get back to work!

Google Voice is about giving you more control over your communications, through dozens of features — ranging from call screening to voicemail transcription to the ability to send and receive SMS by email.

While we’ve heard from users that they love our growing list of features, we’re conscious of the fact that Google Voice can seem overwhelming to people trying it for the first time.

So we’ve created a short video that gives an overview of what Google Voice can do:

In addition, we’ve created a set of short videos that dive into more detail about ten features of Google Voice:

  1. Voicemail transcription
  2. One number
  3. Personalized greetings
  4. International calling
  5. SMS to email
  6. Share voicemails
  7. Block callers
  8. Screen callers
  9. Mobile app
  10. Conference calls

The videos show why you might want to use each feature and basic instructions for getting started. And each video focuses on just one topic so you can learn about the features that matter to you.

Finally, we just launched our own YouTube channel at youtube.com/googlevoice. You can view all of the videos mentioned above in a custom video gadget we built for this channel, which will help you keep track of which videos you’ve already watched.


We hope these videos help you get the most out of Google Voice.

Until now, sending a text message to multiple recipients required copying and pasting the message for each recipient.

To make this a bit easier, we just launched the ability to send a single SMS message to multiple recipients. Just click on the SMS button at the top of your Google Voice inbox, enter names or numbers (separated by commas) in the “To” field, write your message and click send.

Replies from each recipient will be threaded into separate conversations, so you can keep track of them in your Google Voice inbox. To prevent spam, we’ve set a maximum of five recipients per message.

This feature is also available from the Chrome extension and we’ll also be adding it to the Google Voice mobile app soon.

We hope you like this new feature, and as always, welcome your feedback.

Today we are launching a new Google Voice mobile web app for iPhone OS 3.0 and higher and Palm Web OS devices, harnessing the power of HTML5, a new web technology that makes it possible to run faster, richer web-based applications right in the browser.

In addition to letting you access a streamlined version of your Google Voice inbox, the new web app also lets you display your Google Voice number as the outbound caller ID (so return calls come back to your Google Voice number), send and receive text messages for free, and place international calls at Google Voice’s low rates.

To get started, visit m.google.com/voice in your mobile browser. For quick access, don’t forget to create a shortcut to this URL on your home screen or Palm Launcher.

Just a reminder: you’ll need a Google Voice account and a voice plan on your cell phone to place calls using this web app. Don’t have a Google Voice account? Request an invite.
