Get Google Voicemail for your existing number

You can now use Google Voice with your existing mobile phone number. You won't get all the functionality that a Google number brings you, but you'll get Google Voicemail, low priced international calling, and several other useful features. Learn more about Google Voice Lite.

Play voicemails within Gmail

Enable the Google Voice player lab and voicemail notification emails will include an embedded player so that you can listen to messages without leaving your inbox.

Receive & reply to SMS messages by email

With SMS forwarding, you can receive text messages via email. Reply straight to those emails to save on text message fees.

Google Voice mobile app

The Google Voice app for Blackberry and Android-powered phones allows you to make outbound calls from your Google number, read transcriptions of your voicemails, make low priced international calls, and send free SMS. Learn more about Google Voice mobile apps.

Change your Google number

If you're not happy with your Google number, you can now switch to a new number for a $10 fee. Your old number will remain active for 3 months so that you have time to update everyone.
