Some employees like to use Google Voice to create a work specific numbers.
The benefits include:
-
You can control what phone (mobile or house) rings when someone calls your work number.
-
You can also use the free Google Voice app to make phone calls to clients / coordinators, which means they see your work number on their caller ID instead of your personal cell phone number.
-
You can use the app to send/receive text messages, and you can have a custom voicemail greeting that people hear before they leave you a message.
-
Finally, your voicemail and text messages can be transcribed and sent to your email if you prefer that over using the app. You can find out more about Google Voice features here: https://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html
