This is very cool. Thanks to Google we are able to make and receive calls at our own special phone number which is a number in the North Plains, Oregon area (none available in Forest Grove). Even though that in itself is nice, what I am able to do is have you go directly into my voicemail without ringing my cell phone. You think, "so what?, that seems fairly simple". Well, it gets better! Your voicemail to me is transcribed into text and immediately sent as a text message to my cell phone.
I have a pay as you go cell phone plan with Virgin Mobile, paying a dime or something like that for a text message, much less than what it would cost to speak live. So if you are anywhere in the USA and have reached this blog entry, you can say hi in a text message to me, just click the link!!!
C'mon, you gotta admit that is COOL! Click
