GV Mobile Makes Google Voice the Default for Your iPhone

iPhone/iPod touch only: GV Mobile brings Google’s one-number-to-rule-them all, voicemail-transcribing, call-recording, sms-sending service Google Voice to your iPhone.

We gave you a peek at GV Mobile already, and now all the features you see in the video are available to your iPhone. The app comes in both free and pay ($2.99) flavors; the free version does the basic dialing out from your iPhone, but it doesn’t do SMS, call history, or visual voicemail, so it’s not nearly as awesome, unfortunately, as the full price app. Still, whether you take the free or pay route, it’s great to see Google’s exciting new (and currently closed to new users) service make its way to the iPhone.

One can’t help but wonder how long it’ll be before Google releases its own Google Voice app for free, but then again, GV app for Android wasn’t made by Google either (though you’d think that would be the first place they’d develop an app of that kind). It seems likely that they’re taking their time releasing mobile apps for Google Voice, waiting until they open the service for all comers. In the meantime, GV Mobile is a free and pay-for download for the iPhone and iPod touch only.
