Best website for virtual number and calling

10 /10

What differentiates Google Voice from other similar products?

There aren't much websites like Google Voice, and many of them are paid where as in the order hand here Google Voice is free to use if calling to US and CA. It's very easy to create account with them and start using their service.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this product is that there is no restrictions at all. I can use the number provided by them as actual number provided after using a SIM card. They provide call and sms features and I love that. Their website interface is very easy to use.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about this product is that the cost to call other countries is very high. It's free to call US and CA but for other it's not free and charges are high for those countries.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If anyone is thinking of using Google Voice, then they should go for it. It's free and you are gonna love it.
