Google Voice Improves - No More Lag

Do you use a Blackberry or Android mobile phone? If so then you have probably used or are using Google Voice. No? Then now is the right time to start, as Google has made Google Voice much better for people who already use it on a regular basis.

What improvement? Well they have said they have got rid of 'lag'. We have all experienced 'lag' at some point in our lifetime with mobile phones. A lag was the time between pressing call and the phone actually deciding to make the call.
Well now according to Google they have finally eliminated this annoying 'lag'. OK it's not the end of the world waiting those few seconds, but you must admit you were not sure the phone call was in place.

So now when you use Google Voice on a mobile using the Android system or a Blackberry and you press call, the lag has now gone. Hurrah!

Google has fixed this by stopping calls going through to the Google Voice server, instead Google will be granting 'direct access numbers' for everyone you call. Simples.

If you are currently using a Blackberry like a lot of businesses then all you have to do is go to your Google Voice account on your mobile and hey presto. For Android users even easier. Just download the application from Android Market on your handset.
