After introducing the Gmail masses to Google Voice, it looks like the search engine giant now will send you an email anytime you miss a call.
Google Voice lets you take charge of your telephony experience, giving you one number that rings all your phones. But what if you’re not around to answer any of them?
Starting today, whenever you miss a call, you can see a notification in your Google Voice inbox, or receive an email notification, or both. (Google Voice Blog)
Users can log into Google Voice in order to adjust their settings, although they may want to make sure incoming Google Voice emails are marked as “important” (for those of you who have embraced Gmail’s priority inbox).
While Android users will probably have no need for this, iPhone lovers will probably appreciate this feature due to the fact that El Jobso has banned Google Voice from the app store.
Although this feature does not in any way help convince Skype lovers to ditch the VoIP king for Google (as Skype already emails me whenever I receive a voicemail), it should help Google remain somewhat relevant for users of the service.
