Google Voice App Comes to Android, Blackberry

An ultimate toolkit for routing and managing phone calls is not nearly as useful if it doesn’t work with your cell phone, so Google is rectifying that with its Google Voice app for Android and Blackbery phones. Google Voice, you’ll recall, can forward calls, transcribe voicemails, dial internationally and send personalized greetings to contacts. As a mobile app, it can display your Google Voice number instead of the mobile number. But while the computer software offers free VoIP, don’t hold out for a cheap workaround to costly cell phone plans: Calls through the app use PTSN, so it’ll count towards your monthly minutes. It still seems like a useful tool, if only anyone but the elite could try it right now; Google Voice is invite-only for the time being, so hang tight. [via Official Google Blog and GigaOM]
