Due to the busy schedule of today’s generation, we really have less time to read any message or text or mail, and we read-only and main part and skip otherwise so now, a little over three and a half years after Voice was massively redesigned, Google started telling original users that the legacy web version would stop receiving updates and encouraged them to migrate over. Legacy Google Voice is now set to be “phased out” from next month.
This is an important feature that is used by the few remaining users as a legacy web feature that may be impacted as we complete the migration of all Voice users to the modern experience (which launched in 2017). You are receiving this email because you have a consumer (personal) Google Voice account.
Well according to the sources the Google has provided these voice features free of cost. And there are various features you can see as follow.:-
- Do Not Disturb Timer
- Ring Scheduling
- Settings for Carrier Call Forwarding: well we come to hear that there will be no carrier Call Forwarding into the setting. It will still be possible to forward calls from another carrier to your Google Voice number, however, all carrier forwarded calls from your linked number will go directly to voicemail apparently
- Call Notes: you can remove the Call Notes from the legacy web version in 2020 and will be deleted and no longer accessible through Account Takeout after March 31st, 2022. If you want to preserve the notes you have, you must download your data before March 31st, 2022.
- Voicemail-only accounts: Users with Voicemail- only Full numbered Voice account will need to update and update your carrier forwarding to use your new Google Voice number. To learn more, read Upgrade from legacy Google Voice (voicemail only) probably.
- Purchasing calling credits in non-USD currencies: but things do not stop here, it will only be possible to purchase new credits in USD and auto-recharging in non-USD will be disabled. To learn more, read Buy credit to make calls. Since consumer (personal) Google Voice is only available to U.S. users, by the summer of 2022 all non-USD credit balances will be automatically converted to USD when their account balance goes below 0.50 in your current non-USD currency .learn more, read Buy credit to make calls.
- Additionally, Call-to-Listen Voicemail Access, when turned on will require pressing “*” once your Voicemail recording starts playing. This will trigger the audio prompt that asks for your voicemail PINwhich must be entered in order to listen to your voicemails.
Legacy users are taking particular issue with the removal of Carrier Call Forwarding. The feature will continue to “forward calls from another carrier to your Google Voice number.” However, “all carrier forwarded calls from your linked number will go directly to voicemail.”
Not even this if you want your devices to ring from your carrier number, port your number to Google Voice even many of users asked that isn’t it possible to have carrier-forwarded calls from a linked number ring on all your devices.
Well, only the reason to make this feature is to make your daily phone routine easy and according to the living standards as well so hope you will able to get this opportunity and helpful to you. Legacy Google Voice is shutting down starting mid-February 2022.
