Google Voice just got a little more useful, even if you don’t have a clue as to what Google Voice actually does. Google has just released a new feature for Google Voice that allows anyone to take advantage of Google Voice’s voicemail transcription service. You may not be able to port your existing phone number to Google Voice (yet), but now you can port your voicemail to Google Voice. Google will convert voicemail messages from your non-Google phone number into text (the real visual voicemail) that you can read through Google Voice’s website, email or SMS text! As long as your phone number and voicemail are tied to Alltel, AT&T, Cricket Wireless, MetroPCS, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, or Verizon Wireless, Google will be happy to sort through your voicemail inbox.
The beauty of this new feature is that you don’t have to have to use your Google Voice phone number to get voicemail transcription. Just tell Google what phone number you’d like to tie in with your Google Voice account, and the magic gnomes inside Google headquarters will take care of the rest.
