In the United States, Google Voice is a trending topic in the world of smartphones and tablets. It was originally released in 2005 under the name of GrandCentral, which could be used to make a number of phone calls and have been redirected to any telephone. In 2007, Google purchased GrandCentral and Google Voice was launched in 2008. The main advantage is that one single number can be associated to multiple devices, regardless of the SIM. Unfortunately this service is only available in the U.S.
