Overview

  • Google now sells two standalone Google Voice plans that do not require a Google Workspace subscription and can be bought by any Gmail user.
  • The Starter plan costs $10 per month and adds features such as three-way calling, call transfers, easy call recording, desktop phone support, 24/7 support, and a guarantee that numbers won’t be reclaimed for inactivity.
  • The Standard plan is listed at $20 per month but carries a 50% discount for the first six months and includes automated call handling, call routing with auto attendants, and integration with Google’s Gemini AI.
  • Google’s recent 'Take notes for me' feature transcribes calls, creates an in-app summary with action items, and auto-generates a Google Doc emailed to the user after the call.
  • Users can upgrade from the Google Voice app via the 'Upgrade Voice' profile prompt or at g.co/voice/upgrade, and Google says the plans are available in the U.S. with wider rollout planned.
