Google Voice
 

Anyone using Google Voice? Any reviews to share?

I am, although just for the online voicemail transcription. It is really convenient to get your voicemails in the form of emails. The transcription is so-so, it would probably be okay for normal social messages but it doesn't do well with fast-talking and lots of proper names or acronyms. Still, you can usually see if it is a vmail you might care about, in which case you click the message and have the audio played back.

I do not use the forwarding feature. In fact, I disabled it, so that all calls that get forwarded to Google Voice end there, the caller can either leave a voicemail or hang up, but no phone rings for me. So it is sort of a catchbox for all callers who aren't calling the my mobile phone which I actually do answer.
