How to Activate Google Voice on a Landline
The Google Voice tool allows you to create one number for all of your phones, which seamlessly connects your phones through the online phone service. Google Voice creates a number that links your landline with any other phone you wish to connect it to, and redirects incoming calls to all of the phones to ensure you receive the call. Once activated, the assigned phone number can be configured to be redirected to a specific phone depending on the time, as well as save voice mails to your Google account.
