Google reportedly snapped up 1 million phone numbers last month in a move that could signal the launch of its Google Voice service.
Google Voice, which was announced in March, lets users have a single phone number that rings to all their phones. Features include Internet playback of messages, outgoing calls, settings that let you avoid certain people, transcription of your voicemail messages, and text messaging.
The service, which was made possible via Google's acquisition of GrandCentral, has been in private beta since its launch, but PC World reports that Level 3 has been supplying Google with phone numbers in anticipation of an official launch.
