I continue to appreciate Google Voice the more I use it, this week I found another reason to love it for all the CANADIANS or AMERICANS with loved ones on the other side of the border. Here goes:
I have a phone plan through Straighttalk.com which is usually pretty nice for the price except it doesn't allow me to text to Canada. I found that if someone texts me from Canada to my Google voice number then it will send me the text but it assigns them an alternate (US) number but lists their original number in the text.
Well, I save the alternate numbers so I can text them directly from my phone in the future. However the other day I wondered what would happen it I called that number instead of texting... well it rang through directly to Canada!
For some this may not seem like a huge deal, but I can now call my family in Canada directly just like calling a US number. Yes, this is a perk of using Google Voice already, but the big benefit now is that I can now call Canada without putting in any PINs and I can save the number to a speed dial and without having to punch in numbers after calling Google Voice which had always been a bit of a hassle.
Let me know if you have any questions.
