So, when is Google Voice coming to the UK?

June 27, 2009 · Filed Under Web 

Google Voice looks superb. But I’ve not heard anything about plans to launch in the UK. Ribbit also impresses me (bought by BT) and again, nothing concrete for a UK launch. This is really starting to tick me off. So, anyone who knows anything, please post something!

UPDATE: I’m hearing rumours that we may get it at the end of the year but I’m not holding my breath. You can follow them on twitter here.

In the meantime, check out the Google Voice video:

UPDATE December 27th 2009 for all you US people

Google Voice mobile for the iPhone is looking rather good. Unfortunately it only works on jailbroken iPhones at the moment. Gizmodo have a short but worthwhile post on it here. What is not clear to me is whether this is an “official” Goolge app or an unofficial one.

Anyway, what we want, is just plain old Google Voice for the UK!

    Hi Kevin, that sounds about right. I hope Ribbit look at the UK too, but looks like Google are way ahead of them at the moment, although they (Ribbit) have an excellent developer programme.

    How could Google Voice come to the UK? Sounds like there are issues with the payments model around the differences between UK and US payments. E.g US, Bill and keep versus UK calling part pays. Therefore, in UK, Google would incur costs of call forwarding charges to mobile devices. Any ideas how this could be overcome and GV could come to UK? Would love to see GV over in Europe.
