Last month Google has started a new service Google Voice. This service allows calling on any phones. Google reserved more than 1 million numbers for this goal. However, Americans only can use the service, people from others countries have not got the same access. As for iPhone, Apple has rejected the application allowing to use Google Voice. They have said that the Google Voice apps “duplicate features that come with the iPhone”. Moreover, Apple has deleted all Google applications from AppStore.
Users having an account on Google Voice can use it with the help of an alternative app from Cydia. But before they have to jailbreak iPhone with installed Cydia and firmware not older then 2.2.1.
