Google Voice Launches Mobile Apps

Happy to see the iPhone app will be out soon too. Now if only I'd actually get my google voice invite I signed up for over a year ago...

There's been a third-party GrandCentral/Google Voice app I've been really happy with on the iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftwa...

I'm interested to see Google's app and will likely wind up using it, but I doubt it'll integrate as cleanly as the Android version does.

I am in the same boat. It must be a massive undertaking for them to roll this out.

"When sending SMS messages in this manner, users don't have to pay SMS charges levied by their mobile carriers because the SMS messages are sent by Google."

This could be a major blow to the profitability of texting. I'll probably drop my AT&T plan (I think it's a thousand or so texts a month) when the iPhone app launches.

Hate to see big corps acquire services and butcher them.

Everything used to work great with Canadian numbers on grandcentral. Now I removed one and cannot add it back because it is international.

The app looks ok on my Android phone but of course not usable at the moment for me.
