Google Voice - Enhance your Home/Office Phone Services

Google Voice is a free replacement for your traditional home or SMB or SOHO office telephone service. Cut the cords to telephone land lines and cable phone services.

Google Voice gives you a phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. It works on smart phones and computers, and syncs across your devices so you can use the app in the office, at home, or on the go.

Traditional phone services cost between $25 to $50 per line per month for most homes and offices. You can eliminate those costs and add many new features with Google Voice.

. . .
Google Voice is a voice-over-internet-protocol (VoIP) service that lets you make and receive calls and texts via an internet connection. You can use Google Voice with your smartphone, tablet, computer, or any device that has a speaker and a microphone. You can also link your Google Voice number to other phone numbers, such as your landline or mobile number, and forward calls to them. Google Voice offers features such as voicemail transcription, call recording, and international calling ¹². 

To use Google Voice with an analog phone handset, you need a device that converts the analog signal to a digital signal that can be transmitted over the internet. This device is called an analog telephone adapter (ATA) or a VoIP gateway. You can connect your analog phone to the ATA, and then connect the ATA to your router or modem. You can then configure your ATA to work with Google Voice using the SIP protocol ³⁴.

There are many ATAs available in the market, but some of the best ones for Google Voice are:

• Grandstream HT801 Single-Port Analog Telephone Adapter - https://amzn.to/48MhgiT

• Grandstream GS-HT802 2 Port Analog Telephone Adapter VoIP Phone & Device, Black - https://amzn.to/3NVbG5Q

These are some of the ATAs that you can use to connect Google Voice to an analog phone handset. I hope this helps you understand how Google Voice works and what devices you need to use it. 😊
