Google Voice is a great way to save time and maintain anonymity when making phone calls. It allows you to access phone numbers to call by just copying and pasting the numbers when you are using your computer or your mobile device.  This eliminates having to enter the phone number manually.

Also, Google Voice allows you to make calls from a number other than your own. Hence your personal phone number does not show up when you make calls to other people.

Google Voice is free, easy to use, and easy to set up once you have a Google account.

Follow the steps below to set up your Google Voice capability for your computer or your phone.
