Will Google Voice Become Usable?

As it stands now, Google Voice has great potential, but there are so many basic features missing it is completely unusable for lots of SMBs. 

  • Cannot call out from "Main Line"
  • Cannot receive or send text messages from "Main Line"
  • No shared contact lists
  • All "departments" require their own line instead of being able to call out from the "Main Line"

As a consumer, I only want one number to call a business, not several. I also want to be able to text that business when I can not or do not want to talk.

As a business owner, I want my team calling out from one, recognizable phone number. I want our customers to be able to text us with questions... and I NEED my team to be see a shared contact list with history, etc.

I really hope Google Voice gets these basic features soon... It would be hard to beat in the Workspace suite.
