Google Voice is definitely a great application and Google has made it even better. Google has just updated the app which includes a feature called “direct access numbers,” which now assigns each person you dial a unique outgoing number which now eliminates the need to forward the number to Google’s servers. This feature now resembles the process of making a traditional outgoing call.
Here it is explained by Google:
“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.”
Unfortunately, Google Voice is currently available to U.S. customers.

If you use google voice to make free call’s don’t update. Like the article says google voice will assign different numbers to different contact’s. Instead of just contacting the server at the same number every time.

… shouldn’t that be, “unfortunately google voice is ONLY available to U.S. customers”? as it currently reads it sounds like you dont want U.S. customers to have it either.
