GOOGLE HAS LAUNCHED an enhancement to the Google Voice mobile app on Android and Blackberry phones, which makes placing calls much faster. Google has nicknamed the feature “direct access numbers.” Here’s how it works:
Until today, the Google Voice app had to make a request to the Google Voice server every time you wanted to make a call to send us the phone number you wanted to dial. Then the call would be connected via a Google Voice access number. With direct access numbers, we assign a unique phone number to every person you call. This means that we no longer need to use your data network to access the server each time you make a call, so calls will be placed much faster. |
