Google Voice in Chrome

by Don Campbell on February 12, 2010 · 2 comments

I just installed the Google Voice extension for Chrome browser, and stumbled on this neat little trick – once installed, it turns any phone number on a web page you are visiting into a click-to-call hyperlink!

When you click it, it will dial that phone number and ring your phone to connect the two of you instantly.

Pretty cool – here’s a short video to show you what I mean.

So what is Google Voice?

Google Voice is a free service that gives you a local phone number. It will route voice mail messages to your email, and even transcribe them to text for you. You can set it up to route calls any way you want; for example, ring your office phone during the day, cell phone at night, or just go straight to voice mail.
