So now I’m using Google Voice and love it 10x more. What is Google Voice you might ask? It’s a one stop shop for all your telephone numbers, custom greetings depending on who’s calling you, free SMS and low international calling. Basically they give you a new one-4-all telephone number and if you have a office phone, cell phone and home phone, you can have them ring at any of the three places, no places or all places. This is great for when you’re on vacation or you need to make sure that important business call doesn’t get missed. The only downside is you have to give them your new number. Your old numbers still work the same. Google does however let you customize your number based on numbers available. So I made one that ended in NEK-KIDT for my t-shirt company.

Ever been in the situation where you were headed out with friends or a client to lunch but just couldn’t because of an important call you were waiting on at the office or house? No problem, just tell your house phone to ring your cell phone!

Another great feature that really sold me was being able to have custom greetings for each person that calls and there is another feature to block unwanted callers!

If I get some invites such as I did with Google Talk I will give them away here. So check back often.

SwiftReply allows you to setup auto responses for people texting or calling you via cell phone when you are busy or maybe just don’t want to be bothered.  All you have to do is setup a few responses which you customize 100%. Here is a few of mine.

• Sleeping
  Auto Reply: Sorry I am currently sleeping.
• Meeting
  Auto Reply: Sorry I am currently in a meeting.
• Not Accepting Calls
  Auto Reply: Sorry I am currently not accepting calls at this time.
• Movie
  Auto Reply: Sorry I am currently watching a movie.
• Mars
  Auto Reply: Sorry I am visiting Mars. Please try back later.

Not all that text is 100% what I typed. You can have it say anything and the words Auto Reply was also added by me.

This is a paid application but they do have a free version. The paid version removes the copyright notice that the message is powered by SwiftReply. I think it was around $4.99 but I can’t remember.

Easily attach sounds, music, audio files, backgrounds, videos, pictures and camera pics with a couple quick taps. I wouldn’t use anything else. Also comes with threaded view and iPhone layout look along with a few other themes.

I have several other music apps installed but this one is 100% professionally laid out and easy to use. I recommended this one over all others at this time.

Enjoy.
