Yet another Techy post :)

So! I was talking to one of my professors yesterday and he was showing me his Google voice (GV) app on his Iphone. Truthfully, I wasn't impressed right off. I had tried out GV before on my computer, and I thought it was pretty useless. But then he told me..........wait for it.......you get FREE TEXT MESSAGING through GV!! That got my attention! I don't have a texting plan on my Droid, even though I do text people. So I decided I needed to figure GV out!!! Turns out you really can get free texting, IF you use the GV app. If you just have GV push your messages to your phone, it still costs you messages on your plan. So! If you have a smart phone and dont have text messaging, download GV app!!! It works on Apple, Android and Blackberry phones through an app, and on any other phone that can access the mobile web. To get more information and download the app, check out Google Voice Here!

Another possibly cool function of GV is - It gives you a local phone number that you can give out instead of your real phone number. Using GV for phone calls is FREE to ANY phone! except for international calls of course.


If anyone chooses to try GV and is having a hard time figuring it out, please just leave me a comment below saying so and I will post a walk-through of how to set it up.
