A little over a year ago, Google released an early preview of Google Voice, their web-based platform for managing your communications.  They introduced one number to ring all your phones, voicemail that works like email, free calls and text messages to the U.S. and Canada, low-priced international calls and more.  The only catch:  you had to request and receive an invite to try it out. Today, after lots of testing and tweaking, Google has opened Google Voice to the public, no invitation required.

Over the past year, they’ve introduced a mobile web app, an integrated voicemail player in Gmail, the ability to use Google Voice with your existing number and more.  Over a million people are now actively using Google Voice, and many of the features released over the past year (like SMS to email and Chrome extension) came as a result of everyone’s suggestions!

If you haven’t yet tried Google Voice, try it out.  Check out their revamped features page to learn about everything Google Voice can do!
