Recently Apple removed the Google Voice application from the App Store. There is a big controversy surrounding its removal. The FCC is even investigating Apple for its removal. As MJF says, “It has nothing to do with the phone, it’s AT&T pressuring Apple.”
If you have an iPhone then you know how unreliable AT&T’s phone service can be. Apple’s rationale is that the Google Voice App duplicated functionality on the phone.
Google Voice is a call forwarding system at best, it allows me to point a phone number at any phone I may be using. Which is great for travelers that don’t want to purchase an international calling plan, they can just pick up another phone and forward the Google Voice number to it.
Point one phone number to any phone. Its a call forwarding system. So even though there is no app for it on the iPhone for now the basic functionality is still available. This may all be much to do about nothing.
