Google is doing a great job of expanding its offerings. Google Fiber is growing every day, and Google’s television networks and the like are value added on top of the Google Fiber cherry. However, there’s one place where the Google is lagging behind, and that’s land-line phones. Yes, they’re still a thing, and lots of people still have them. Now Google is going to make them happen, too. Google is going to take your land-line phone to the cloud.
Google Fiber Phone is basically a Google Fiber addition for $10 a month. Google Fiber Phone is basically a cloud-based phone that can be accessed from any device you have, from your mobile phone to tablets and, yes, the home phone. It has unlimited local and national calling, E-911 service, and similar rates as Google Voice for long distance calls.
“While mobile phones have pushed us toward the future, home phone service is still important to many families,” writes Google Fiber product manager John Shriver-Blake. “Landlines can be familiar, reliable and provide high-quality service, but the technology hasn’t always kept up.”
