Google Voice gives you a phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. It works on smartphones and computers, and syncs across your devices so you can use the app in the office, at home, or on the go.
NOTE: Google Voice only works for personal Google Accounts in the US and Google Workspace accounts in select markets. Text messaging is not supported in all markets.
You’re in control
Get spam filtered automatically and block numbers you don’t want to hear from. Manage your time with personalized settings for forwarding calls, text messages, and voicemail.
Backed up and searchable
Calls, text messages, and voicemails are stored and backed up to make it easy for you to search your history.
Manage messages across devices
Send and receive individual and group SMS messages from all your devices
Your voicemail, transcribed
Google Voice provides advanced voicemail transcriptions that you can read in the app and/or have sent to your email.
Save on international calling
Make international calls at competitive rates without paying extra for international minutes with your mobile carrier
Keep in mind:
• Google Voice is currently only available in the US. Google Voice for Google Workspace users is available in select countries. Check with your administrator for access.
• Calls made using Google Voice for iPhone can be placed through a Google Voice access number. All access number based calls use the standard minutes from your cell phone plan and may incur costs (e.g. when traveling internationally).

This app doesn’t work in CanadaThis is so pointless for Canadians when they can download the app from the store but cannot use it. Come on Google, Americans and Canadians are brothers and should be in the same North America market..LeeNg :DVersion: 19.18

Tells you to use Hangouts but...It’s ridiculous, it says to use Hangouts for calls but then Hangouts says no longer integrates with Voice. Both useless apps in Canada. Why it’s on the App Store?.Kann2182Version: 20.47

Why?Why is this even on the App Store if you can’t even use it..Movielover 500Version: 24.51
Explanation?Have they ever explained as to why you cannot use this in Canada?
It seems like a solid app to use, especially if you needed a backup phone number, but the problem is since you can’t use this in Canada, it’s garbage.
And as far as I can tell, there hasn’t been much explanation as to why that we can’t in Canada.
It’s a shame, it’d be cool if they can get it to work in Canada..Albie412Version: 20.22

GarbageYou can only get a number if you verify an existing US number.YassykjVersion: 20.47
Available in Canadian App Store but unusableDownloaded this app to replace VoIP calls on Hangouts (calls now disabled) but it does not work in our country. Only USA. Why even make it available to Canadians? Don’t waste your time with a VPN you need a USA phone number to complete the process. Two thumbs down to Google. Very disappointing and nowhere to complain except by writing a Canadian App Store review..FiremanstewVersion: 21.20
Why keep it in Canadian App Store?If Canadian accounts can’t use it, then why keep in Canadian App Store?
It’s bloody frustrating that you constantly remind on Hangouts that it will be available soon and users should switch to Google voice and then make google voice unusable. Doesn’t your one team talk to another?.SKYSpark11Version: 21.10
Canada marketOpen it to Canada.NoahdeycajouVersion: 26.22
Lacking basic messaging featuresThis app is at least 5 years behind in terms of simple, basic messaging features such as in-line replies, reactions to messages, typing indicators, and read receipts. I’m not sure why Google is so incredibly behind on adding these basic features. Once those are added, I would give it a much higher rating because otherwise it generally functions as intended..Zach AlletsonVersion: 26.17

7 years and still doesn't work in Canada.Dude, unheroic of yourself to let Americans to use the app but not their brothers - the Canadians? I've seen many people complain from 7 years ago, and STILL the problem isn't fixed. I would rate 0 stars if I could, because you couldn't even get to use the app..Alfred. F JonesVersion: 25.46
