search through them
• Voicemail transcription: Voicemail messages will be automatically transcribed to text and sent to
you via email and/or SMS.

based on who's calling, send some callers straight to voicemail, etc.)
• Define which phones ring, based on who's calling, and even ListenInTM on voicemail before
answering the call. We use smart technology to route your calls. So, if you're already on a Google
Voice call, we'll recognize it and use call waiting to reach you on the phone you're on.
