Can someone please explain to me the concept of google voice?

I don't understand. It says you will only use one number to be reached on. But, what's the point of that? Like, can't you just buy one cellphone and use that?





I don't understand what makes google voice different. I don't think I'm grasping the fundamental concept of how all these different numbers become one. Can't people just use one number on their own?|||The point of GOOG voice is to simply give you the flexibility of taking calls made to the google # on any of the lines (your cell, your home phone, your vacation house phone, etc) you choose to connect it to.





If you're under the assumption that there's cell coverage everywhere, you've been mistaken. Verizon has the largest and most extensive network, but even Verizon has holes (very few, but nonetheless). If you are on AT%26amp;T or T-Mo, you've got to work on a pretty crappy network. So, you ask your buddies to call your google voice # instead of calling your cell. That way, when you are at home or near a landline, you can take your call on that without having to worry about reception.
