Sprint integrates Google Voice
Monday, March 21, 2011 | 5:00 AM
Over time, we've worked to bring an integrated Google Voice experience to your mobile device by building mobile apps, introducing Google Voice Lite, and most recently Number Porting. But we felt that ultimately, the most simple solution would be to partner with carriers to seamlessly integrate Google Voice with your mobile phone.

Today, we?d like to share that we?ve teamed up with Sprint to do just that.

First, Sprint customers will be able to use their existing Sprint mobile number as their Google Voice number and have it ring multiple other phones simultaneously. So now, calls to your Sprint mobile number can easily be answered from your office or your home phone, or even your computer through Gmail. Calls from Gmail and text messages sent from google.com/voice will also display your Sprint number. This basically gives Sprint customers all the benefits of Google Voice without the need to change or port their number.

Alternatively, Google Voice users can choose to replace their Sprint number with their Google Voice number when placing calls or sending text messages from their Sprint handset. This feature works on all Sprint phones and gives Sprint users all the benefits of Google Voice without the need for an app.

In both cases, Google Voice replaces Sprint voicemail, giving Sprint customers transcribed voicemail messages available online and sent via email and/or text message. International calls made from Google Voice users? Sprint phones will be connected by Google Voice at our very low rates, and Sprint customers will also have access to the rest of Google Voice?s features, like creating personalized voicemail greetings based on who?s calling, call recording, blocking unwanted callers and more.

Sorry... I looked, but apparently not well enough before I posted...

Just wanted to make sure anyone who might be interested had heard about it...

I actually like having a separate google voice number so I can use it as a spam number since you can use it to screen calls... and restrict calling times.

Keep a second google voice number for that reason.
