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 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.

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 iPhone can be placed through a Google Voice access number. All access number-based calls use the standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs (e.g., when traveling internationally).
