Google Voice Now Integrated with Sprint Mobile Devices and Features

Sprint customers soon will be able to use their existing Sprint mobile number as their Google Voice number and have it ring multiple other phones simultaneously, Google says. Calls to your Sprint mobile number can easily be answered from your office or your home phone, or through Gmail viewed on a desktop PC. Calls from Gmail and text messages sent from google.com/voice will also display a user's Sprint number. The new capability basically gives Sprint customers all the benefits of Google Voice without the need to change or port their number.



Alternatively, Google Voice users can choose to replace their Sprint number with their Google Voice number when placing calls or sending text messages from their Sprint handset. This feature works on all Sprint phones and gives Sprint users all the benefits of Google Voice without the need for an app.

In both cases, Google Voice replaces Sprint voicemail, giving Sprint customers transcribed voicemail messages available online and sent via email and/or text message. International calls made from Google Voice users’ Sprint phones will be connected by Google Voice at our very low rates, and Sprint customers will also have access to the rest of Google Voice’s features, like creating personalized voicemail greetings based on who’s calling, call recording, blocking unwanted callers, and more.

The feature will be available soon to Sprint customers in the United States. Once it is launched, it will be rolled out gradually to all Google Voice users, and can be enabled through the Google Voice website. If you want to be notified about when the feature is available, leave your email address at google.com/voice/sprint and Google will notify you as soon as the feature is available.
