Google Voice newbies, start here | Webware - CNET: "Google Voice is best known for its visual voice mail features. If you miss a call, Google Voice uses computers to transcribe the voice message into text, which it can send to you via SMS or e-mail.

You can read or listen to messages in any order you like and the messages, which are stored online on Google's servers, and are accessible from any browser, including the browser on your mobile phone (see video at left for more details.)

If you already use Gmail, you'll notice that you can manage your online Google Voice in-box just as you would your e-mail.

Adding phone numbers from callers to your Google contacts list is a bonus, so you've always got an up-to-date address book stored online. In addition, you'll be able to record multiple custom voice mail greeting for individuals or groups of callers.
