Google Voice
You can use Google Voice for your voicemail service, in place of your 
mobile carrier’s voicemail service. Google Voice gives you a visual 
interface to all of your voicemail messages—you can access your 
messages in the order you want, read transcripts of your messages, and 
listen to your messages, using a karaoke-style interface that makes it 
easy to replay any part.
You can also use Google Voice to make international calls, in place of 
your carrier’s long-distance service, to take advantage of Google 
Voice’s low international calling rates.
If you already have a Google Voice account with a Google phone 
number, you can configure your phone to place some or all calls via 
Google Voice. The people you call will see your Google phone number 
instead of your cell phone number as your caller ID.
