Network World just reported some crazy awesome news: Google Voice just picked up 1 million phone numbers. Holy @#$&!.
Ever since Edwin told me about the old Grand Central service, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on an account, and now it looks like I might be able to do that soon. With it, I’ll be able to set up a number that will ring both my phone and my wife’s phone. This is especially helpful since we don’t have a land line. No more waiting for my wife to find her phone at the bottom of her portable black hole (purse). Now I can pick up my phone, hand it to my wife, and say, “It’s your mother… again.”
Apparently, you can use one of your current phone numbers instead of getting a new one. That way, you don’t have to tell everybody you know about a new number. That would be handy for a household getting rid of a land line (that’s right, since I got married, I think of people in terms of households).
The service has all kinds of other cool features you can read about on the homepage.
Unfortunately, I don’t think 1 million phone numbers is enough. There are enough people interested in Google Voice that those 1 million numbers will be devoured.
Nevertheless, this is exciting news.
