GOOGLE VOICE - Sign up and get your own GOOGLE PHONE NUMBER

GOOGLE will be launching their very own VOIP type service known as GOOGLE VOICE. This service will allow GOOGLE VOICE members to obtain their very own GOOGLE VOICE PHONE NUMBER from Google Voice which would expand on existing Google Chat features.

according to rumors, Google Voice will give Google Voice members a Google Voice Mail box which would enable friends from all over the world to leave messages. Rumors also indicate a rich offering of features from Google Voice which would include Call forwarding of your Google Voice calls to any phone around the world. Details on the cost of Google Voice are not available at this time, however Google Voice is a service currently going through testing via GrandCentral, a company Google purchased awhile back.
