Google Voice gains Wi-Fi calling beta test
Google Voice lives on: A new beta enables Voice users to make Wi-Fi calls from phones, Chrome and other devices.
Google on Wednesday began beta testing Wi-Fi calling with Google Voice. Wi-Fi calling currently supports Android and web, with iOS support coming soon, Google said.
Wi-Fi calling will enable Google Voice users to reduce phone call roaming charges and have better connection if Wi-Fi is available. Of course, calls have to be made from the Google Voice app.
To make calls over Wi-Fi and mobile data, turn on Wi-Fi calling in Google Voice settings, then make the call from the Google Voice app.
You can apply for Google's Voice Public Beta program for Wi-Fi calling by filling out this form, and Google will contact you after.
