Google Voice, Google’s free service to help you make and receive calls, is currently open only to former GrandCentral subscribers. Soon, though, Google will make Voice more widely available. Between free U.S. calls, call filtering, multiple telephone ringing, and call transcription, Voice offers many enticing features. Google Voice is so different from traditional telephone service, though, that it can be difficult to comprehend exactly how the service works. Today we take a look at the basics of Google Voice.

Hello, I'm Evan. I write about tech from my perspective – that of the average tech geek, sometimes with my lawyer glasses on. You can also find me on Twitter and at my real-life job as a lawyer. MORE ABOUT ME.
I’m pleased to report that Bobby Travis is joining 40Tech as a writer. I’ve known Bobby for a year and a half, and he’s been a frequent commenter here at 40Tech. I think you’ll find that Bobby has a unique and fun personality, and he’s just as interested in tech as I am.
I’ve lured Bobby here with the prestigious position of "Senior Editor." I swear that this has nothing to do with allowing me to change my title from "Only Editor" to the much more impressive sounding "Founding Editor." Maybe my wife at least will find that to be impressive.
Check out Bobby’s profile to learn a bit about him. Bobby, the co-founder of Bluetoque Marketing, is married and a proud father, and, most interestingly of all, he’s a Canadian.
I do have a confession to make – Bobby is just a few years shy of 40. But, as you’ll see from his comments and posts, he’s "one of us." In fact, he and I discovered, through my earlier posts and his comments on those posts, that we use much of the same tech and software, and share many similar views. I think, though, that there are enough differences, especially in our personalities, that he will bring a fresh voice to 40Tech.
We’re still ironing out Bobby’s writing schedule, but his first post, a comprehensive look at Evernote as a GTD tool, will be posted soon.
40Tech now will be posting certain types of content on Posterous, in addtion to the normal posts that you’ll continue to find here at 40tech.com. Posterous is a blogging service that allows users to quickly post content using email. On 40Tech’s Posterous site, I’ll be posting content that is too long for Twitter, yet too short to merit a full post here on 40Tech. Periodically (perhaps once a week), I’ll post a quick list of 40Tech’s recent Posterous posts here at 40tech.com.
So, without further adieu, the first 40Tech Posterous roundup: Search Engine Blind Taste Test – see which search engine you really prefer. Windows 7 Touchscreen Functionality – Windows 7 touchscreen PCs are on the way.
If any of those headlines interest you, check out the 40Tech Posterous site.

Here are ten iPhone apps, or categories of apps, to help you get all types of information, or stay entertained and amused, while you are on your travels.
