After the annoucement by Google yesterday, Google Voice finally came to my Grand Central account. I saw a lot of improvements from the old Grand Central interface. Things I like:
- UI improvements: things look like other Google products such as Gmail and Google Docs.
- New features:
- SMS: now your Google Voice number works like a mobile phone, which can send and receive SMSs.
- Voicemail transcripts, especially when you do not have time to dial in and listen to your voice mail. It may not be that accurate though.
- International calling.
Overall, I am impressed by this upgrade and I will continue to use my Grand Central Google Voice number.
