Google Voice (formerly GrandCentral) is a telecommunications service by Google. The service is configured and maintained by the user in a web-based application, styled after Gmail, or through the service's Android and iOS apps.
Google Voice currently provides free PC-to-phone and PC-to-PC voice and video calling worldwide between users of the Google+ Hangouts browser plugin.
The original voice of GrandCentral and Google Voice belonged to actress and voice-over artist, Laurie Burke, but has been replaced with recordings by Kiki Baessell.
