Re: Gmail: Free calls in 2013, Google Voice not mentioned Just wondering... does "Google Voice" even exist as a product outside of being a feature of Gmail? (Does anyone actually make/take direct calls without having to sign into their Gmail account first?)

| I have a Google Voice account without having Gmail; so, yes, it exists; but probably more on the side compared to Gmail. After all, they aren't getting any money from it, apart from what is basically already offered through Gmail already. |
|
| Every Google account includes Gmail. Those contacts in Google Voice are Gmail contacts. You may or may not use Google's Gmail [web] interface, but it's still there.

| Not every Google account includes Gmail. It's a fact; check it up. |
|
| I did say you don't have to use it. I didn't say you couldn't use another, non-Gmail address.

Yes, Google Voice is a separate product.
GrandCentral was founded in 2005 and acquired by Google on July 2, 2007, for US$95 million. Google relaunched the company as Google Voice on March 11, 2009.

There is no need to be logged into a GMail account to receive direct calls.

1 edit | Yeah, I know. My GrandCentral account/number was "converted" to Google Voice.
Yep, I receive calls at the cell phone number specified in my Google Voice settings all the time. (None of them are "direct" though.)
