Description

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.

Bear in mind:
• Google Voice is currently only available in the US. Google Voice for Google Workspace users is available in selected 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 mobile phone plan and may incur costs (e.g. when travelling internationally).

The reason it’s in the UK App Store...

There are about 200,000 Americans living in the UK. Having a free US phone number to call back to and receive calls from the States makes sense. Google is extremely clear in their listing in the UK App Store that this is a US-centric product.

That said, it would seem Google has a difficult time managing bandwidth for all their Google Voice users. Even via our home WiFi (350Mbs down and 35Mbs up) audio drops in and out. Over 4G the product is even less stable.

As an alternative to the clunky Google Voice app, there’s the slightly less-clunky Google Hangouts App (telegraphed by Google to be going away soon) that’s fully compatible with one’s Google account. A better option while it lasts.

Okay but really buggy

Interface is okay if not fantastic. Beware that opening Control Center while on a call will irrecoverably drop the call (just goes completely dead with no visual indication of a problem) and you’ll need to redial.

Appalling

Our small charity spent hours trying to make this work even on the phone with excellent google support person. It turns out that you can only use it in the UK if you have g suite, which we do. Also the text message function isn’t available in UK at all. Also we couldn’t add contacts. Incredibly poor communication if even their own support team don’t know this basic functionality issue. We asked for a refund and were refused. Pretty pathetic really.
