Google Voice is now for iPhone

Earlier this year, the Google Voice HTML5 web application was launched for iPhone users. Today, an official Google Voice app for iPhone has been released for US users.

All main Google Voice features are available in the iPhone application:

• cheap rates for international calls;
• free text messages to US numbers;
• voice mail recording;
• Displaying a Google Voice user number as a caller ID when making calls.

There are also some nice features:

• instant notification of new voice and text messages;
• most calls will go through direct access numbers , which will allow users to connect as quickly as they would with regular phone calls.

Google Voice for iPhone is available for download from the Apple App Store . To use it, you need an iPhone with iOS version 3.1 or higher and a Google Voice account. Let me remind you that currently Google Voice, alas, is available only in the United States.
