Final clarification…

To be honest, Google makes it a bit complicated to talk about their products, so we wanted to make sure you understand us fully.

In this blog, we were referring to “Google Voice by Google Workspace”, the cloud phone service for business. We weren’t referring to “Google Voice”, the free phone number service for consumers and weren’t making any claims about compatibility with the consumer service.

“Google Workspace” is a suite of business applications that includes Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets and so on; it used to be called “G Suite”. Voice is an add-on application and isn’t included in the base Google Workspace suite.
