One thing I have found handy over the past few months is Google Voice. If you do not know about it, Google it! Currently it is by invitation only. I got my Google Voice number sometime last year, the service launched around March 2009. You choose a number with the preferred area code from the numbers Google offers. Some great benefits of this service are:
- You can link all your current numbers to this one Google Voice number. So when someone calls, all the phones ring at the same time.
- You don’t have to give out your actual cell number to people. This is real handy! J
- Your voice mail is recorded online and a transcript is sent to your account.
- All in all it is a great thing to have. See, if someone can send you an invite, you will love it.
Last but not least comes in handy as an Administrative or Executive Assistant, when you do not want to really give the actual cell number of the person you support.
