About this app

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 that 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 that you don’t want to hear from. Manage your time with personalised 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 operator.

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 mobile phone plan and may incur costs (e.g. when travelling internationally).

In the end, Google Voice interfered with my ability to make calls from my cell number so I removed it from my phone . . . fast forward a few years and I've no problems with it at all and it's my primary text messaging tool. I rarely use it to make calls because Tracfone charges me the same per-minute fee for Google Voice calls as for cell calls, even though they should, technically, only be charging me for data but you have to pick your battles and I don't think I could win this one.

Soooo frustrating!! it is sending all calls directly to voicemail. I have tried everything including making sure nothing is set to do not disturb, all permissions granted, reinstalled the app and still sends all calls directly to voicemail. I do receive voicemail notifications but still it does not ring when receiving calls. thank you for this troubleshooting step. I have tried that multiple times and again after seeing your suggestions but still does not work.

Hi Beth. Let's try resetting the app data. More info here (see "Clear the app's cache" section): https://goo.gle/4leWgsg. Hope this helps!

Works well except for one annoying aspect. When you try to read or send messages it sometimes puts up a black message box over the message you're trying to read or write telling you that a new message arrived and then it blocks your screen and the entry area for a long time so you have to just sit and wait for that useless message to go away. Sometimes it keeps bringing up one message after another there so you're waiting a long time. I wish there was a way to turn that useless message off!!!
