Google Voice Receives First Update in Five Years (zdnet.com)
Google Voice hasn't seen a lot of love or attention since it launched with some fanfare in 2009, but surprisingly Google wants people to know that it still cares about the communication app. In a new sprawling release -- the first of its kind in years -- Google has revamped all versions of its Voice app and site with a clean, modern look, new features, and, perhaps the best news of all, the promise of regular updates. From a report: Google is finally adding two features Google Voice users have long missed out on: MMS support for photo messaging and group chats. Previously workarounds were required to send and receive picture messages, and group chats were flat out not possible.
They migrated it to hangouts. If you used hangouts MMS has worked since 2014, complete with group messaging and responses.
Sure, except that Google is (slowly) killing Hangouts, thanks to Allo and Duo: http://betanews.com/2017/01/07... - As goeth the API, so goeth the service.

I want ALL calls that start with 800* to go to voicemail without exception and never ring the phone. I can do this with Asterisk. Why the hell cant I do this with google Voice? I know it is absolutely capable of doing it.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
My doctor has not used Fax for years. All my records are available on his and the hospitals website. and yes it is HIPPA approved.
Hell I even sign things electronically on that website.
There is ZERO reason for fax anymore.
