Now this, is awesome. Sprint and Google have just announced that they have worked together to give practically all Sprint wireless subscribers the ability to start using Google Voice immediately without any effort. It will literally be as simple as entering your number into your Google Voice account; the system will recognize that it's a Sprint number and ask you if you'd like to use it as your Google Voice number. The best part? Google Voice apps aren't needed anymore, and this works with practically any phone and OS. Android, BlackBerry, feature phones — it doesn't matter. Any calls or text messages you send from your phone will appear in your Google Voice account, and you'll be able to place calls or send texts from your Google Voice account online as well. What's even cooler is that when you make international calls, it will automatically use Google Voice, thus affording deep discounts compared to standard international calling.
News Flash: Flying sucks. Totally. That I actually have to pay money to be shoved into a winged hell capsule, strapped to a tiny seat that cuts off all circulation to my legs, and forced to endure the horrors of Other People with nothing more than a SkyMall catalog to keep me entertained frustrates me to no end. But as most airlines struggle to find new ways to make the ordeal even more torturous while charging me even more cash for the privilege of air travel, it's good to see companies like The Philipinnes' Cebu Pacific Air trying to make its customers a little happier.
Sure, I'd much prefer a little more leg room or some extra peanuts to Lady Gaga, but it's a nice start, don't you think?
