It is a new service which Goolge is providing for FREE!You can register and will be assigned a number which users can call. It provides all the features that a typical phone or cell phone provides and more.
In the most basic avtar when a user calls on the number , all phones registerd with that number will ring simultaneously. You can list the single number on your visintg card instead of the dozen numbers .
We knew that goolge is after the Mobile space but this is beyond mobile OS and handsets.
A few direct imapcts;
1. You can switch your mobile carrier without having to worry about your change in number because your google number will stay the same.
2.New revenue streams for goolge by voice based search and maybe audio advertisments.
3.In future when VOIP takes over big time, the first compnay to benefit will be Goolge because you are already using it.
Make sure you get your number before all the good ones are taken.

Yeah..I read this. Two things to comment.
ReplyDelete1) This is going to upset carriers that were willing to have the android in their device portfolio. Is this the first sign that the Android is just an experiment but no large stake is being place on it?
2) Try this. Go to www.rebtel.com and find the Smart Call product @ How it Works tab.
I was wondering how the simultaneous ring feature can be used by groups. Tech support groups can leverage this feature to make sure that at least one staff member answers incoming calls to a single number that rings several phones.
