The
other day one of our friends phone was damaged when it accidently got knock off
the table. It was only a couple feet but it look like someone stomped on it
with a boot? The screen was black but it still worked, kinda, sorta, well not
really but it still made noise..
If she used her Gmail
account to setup a free virtual phone number in Google Voice she could still be making and receiving calls on
any Android, iPhone, iPad, or Windows computer.
Google Voice may not
be the best alternative to your damaged phone, but if you’re looking for a
cheap way to get a business phone or you simply want an alternative to your
damaged phone until you get a new one, Google Voice is a great way to go about
it.
Google Voice gives you a
free virtual phone number. Here's some info I've learned using Google Voice and
from the Tom's Guide article below.
We've had our Google Voice number for 10 years or so. If you've ever called "our" number and you were surprised when the wrong one of us answered, it's because our Google voice number rings both phones.
When that happens we tell people to hang on, we hit the * key ringing the other one's phone and they pick up and take the call. Handy!

Google Voice is a VoIP phone service, it works solely over the
Internet. But that also means that wherever you have an Internet connection,
you can access the service and make calls, send text messages, and more. Best
of all, you only need a microphone and speaker to use Google Voice, so laptop
or smartphone, it’ll work just fine.
Think of Google Voice as a forever phone number you can forward to your cell phone, home phone, or any phone.
If you lose your phone use Google's Find My Device to locate your phone on the map, get close and it will ring your phone loud for 5 minutes even if it's on silent.
Should you lose your phone in the wrong bedroom ringing your phone may be hazardous to your health. Google's Find My Device gives you the option to secure your phone and continue looking for it until the battery goes dead, or just erase your phone.
