You can get Google Voice on Windows 11, Windows 10 and Mac in a few minutes, straight from voice.google.com. Pick a number, make calls and send texts from the browser, then install the page as an app in Chrome so it opens in its own window.

This guide covers which route fits each device, the official Google links, setting up a number on a PC or Mac, plans and countries, and fixes for calls that fail.

Check whether Google Voice works in your country
Availability depends on the account type, not the device.
| Account | Plan | Local numbers available in |
|---|---|---|
| Personal @gmail.com | Google Voice (free) | US only |
| Personal @gmail.com | Voice Starter or Standard (standalone) | US only |
| Paid Google Workspace | Voice Starter, Standard or Premier add-on | 14 countries and regions |
Unlimited SMS is US only on every plan. Only Premier adds numbers outside your home country.
Is Google Voice free?
Yes, for personal Google Accounts in the US. The basic Google Voice plan costs $0 and includes a number, texts, voicemail transcripts and domestic calls. From the US, almost all calls to the US and Canada are free, and some cost 1 cent per minute. International calls use listed rates paid with calling credit. Voice for Google Workspace is paid: Starter is $10, Standard $20 and Premier $30 per user per month, on top of a paid Workspace plan. Standalone Starter ($10 a month) and Standard ($20 a month) exist for single US users.
Should you use free Google Voice or a paid plan?
Use free Google Voice for a personal second number in the US. Pay for Voice Starter only if you need call recording, desk phones or 911 support. The free plan covers calls, texts, voicemail transcripts and forwarding, but it has no 3-way calling, call recording or 911 emergency support. It also requires verifying your account with another phone number. Starter standalone adds those features for $10 a month. Teams outside the US need a Workspace add-on, because only those plans offer local numbers in 14 countries and regions.
How to keep Google Voice up to date on each device
Voice on a computer has no version number to check. Google updates the web app on its servers.
- On a PC or Mac, keep your browser current, because Voice supports only its current and previous major release.
- On Android, open Google Play, select your profile picture, then Manage apps & device, and update Google Voice.
- On iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, select your profile picture and update Google Voice from the list.
The App Store listed version 26.37 on 18 September 2026.
How to check a Google Voice download really came from Google
An .exe or .dmg named Google Voice did not come from Google. On a computer, Voice runs only at voice.google.com.
- Read the address bar before signing in. Voice runs at voice.google.com, and sign-in happens at accounts.google.com.
- Install the desktop app only through Chrome’s Install page as app menu item.
- On Google Play and the App Store, confirm the publisher reads Google LLC.
- Reject any site that charges for a Voice installer, because the personal plan costs $0.
