Google Voice: the future of phone calls

Today I finally received my invitation to Google Voice, which promises to make handling phone calls much easier.

If the smartphone is the future of mobile devices, Google Voice is the future of voice management systems

Google Voice gives you a single number that can be used to reach you at several other numbers that you choose. It also allows you to screen calls, listen in on voicemail, and even send unwanted phone calls straight to voicemail (or even block callers outright).

Even better, it allows you to send and receive SMS's for free to any US number.

Want more? It also functions as a cheap international calling card, allowing you to call your Google Voice number and then place calls to anywhere in the world for very low rates (to most countries, only a few cents per minute).

Other than the international call option, everything is completely free.

You can even call me from right here, go ahead, click it:

Google Voice creates too much hype in market, but I think it is not as easy as google is thinking to beat other VoIPs like skype, Vopium or jajah...
