Google Voice - A New Tool for Ministry : Church Tech Matters

Greg offers a good overview of Google Voice and offers some great suggestions for use in ministry. The SMS features have me wondering if we still need to use Textmate around HHBC for stuff like inclimate notifications.

I should also note that Google now has a handy tool to let you grab a more customized number (I wonder is 555-HHBC is available).

One thing I’ve heard before that this article does not mention is that a Google Voice number could be used for a Pastor on Call number and then create settings that coordinate with the POC rotation so that the number forwards to the pastor’s mobile phone. Anybody doing that?
