Google Voice Liberates Voicemail

By Thomas Claburn InformationWeek October 27, 2009 07:00 AM Users of Google Voice can now choose Google as a voicemail provider for existing mobile numbers, displacing mobile carrier voicemail systems in the process.

Google (NSDQ: GOOG) on Tuesday plans to enable a subset of Google Voice features, notably voicemail, when using an existing mobile number, a move that partially thwarts Apple's effort to keep Google Voice off the iPhone.
