App summary

Google Voice gives you a phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. It works on smartphones and computers, and syncs across your devices so you can use the app in the office, at home, or on the go.

NOTE: Google Voice only works for personal Google Accounts in the US and Google Workspace accounts in select markets. Text messaging is not supported in all markets.

You're in control
Get spam filtered automatically and block numbers you don’t want to hear from. Manage your time with personalized settings for forwarding calls, text messages, and voicemail.

Backed up and searchable
Calls, text messages, and voicemails are stored and backed up to make it easy for you to search your history.

Manage messages across devices
Send and receive individual and group SMS messages from all your devices.

Your voicemail, transcribed
Google Voice provides advanced voicemail transcriptions that you can read in the app and/or have sent to your email.

Save on international calling
Make international calls at competitive rates without paying extra for international minutes with your mobile carrier.

Keep in mind:
• Google Voice is currently only available in the US. Google Voice for Google Workspace users is available in select countries. Check with your administrator for access.
• Calls made using Google Voice for Android can be placed through a Google Voice access number. All access number based calls use the standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs (e.g. when traveling internationally).

User reviews

The app (and service) works pretty solid most of the time. Just make sure you have a decent Internet connection because it doesn't like caching things. It also doesn't like it when you attempt to send a message, but the service mode changes (Wi-Fi to #G or vice-versa). It really needs a way to queue a message with a spotty connection or auto retry of a failed message though. Also, photos send / receive at a fairly low resolution.

I have been using Google Voice for my business on my cell phone for over 10 years and although it has been painful at times it has continued to get better and better. I only wish that we could get video MMS messages sent in Full Resolution as when clients try to send descriptions of issues via my Google Voice number is seemingly looks like an old VHS tape. Obviously you can tell my age by the fact that I know what a VHS tape is.. 🤫 Keep up the good work Google!

Very solid and great app that my family and I have been using for more than 10 years. We love the simplicity and straightforwardness of the app. No fancy bells and whistles, and it remains steady, predictable, and dependable! My only complaint is that just starting an hour ago, I'm not receiving group texts properly. Its coming in as a string of numbers and letters. And this is happening for me in multiple group messages. I hope it can be fixed asap!
