Google Voice – A Great Tool for Service Members

As an update to my previous post about Google Voice, I read the following on Google Voice’s Blog:

For servicemen and women who are constantly on the move, having a single number and an easy way to retrieve messages from loved ones can be invaluable. To help our service members communicate with their loved ones and show our support to those serving our country, Google is launching a new program. Starting today, any active U.S. service member with a .mil email address can sign up for a Google Voice account at www.google.com/militaryinvite and start using the free service within a day.

Basically, Google Voice gives service members a single number for friends and family to contact them no matter where they’re deployed.  It also allows friends and family to leave them text messages and voicemails during any part of the day, which can later be retrieved by the service member via the Internet.  As they say in the Google article, think of it as an “Audio Care Package.” 

If you need help setting up Google Voice, or have questions about it, feel free to Contact Me.
