Does anyone have a good alternative to Google Voice?
- Marsymars 8y agoDepends a bit on which specific workflows you're using Google Voice to enable, but as someone not living in America (so don't have access to Google Voice), I can give you a succinct answer to that: No. If I want to be able to answer phone calls on my PC, my only options are either an SIP softphone, or a Mac/iPhone using Continuity.
- GlenTheMachine 8y agoI primarily want two things: 1) one phone number that calls all my phones, and 2) voicemail that sends me a text and/or email with a transcription of the message
- Marsymars 8y agoYeah, there's no general solution... basically you need all the hassle that comes with configuring and using a hosted SIP provider for those features you want.
- lemcoe9 8y agoYou can find a SIP provider (Flowroute, SIP.US, SIPSTATION.com, Twilio, OnSIP, and many more) that will allow you to either use a desk phone or a software-based phone with a telephone number of your choosing. It's never free, and you can expect to pay $0.009 - $0.02 per-minute for all calls. Disclaimer: I work for one of the companies that I listed in parentheses.
