News: Google Voice Light means free voicemail transcription!

OK. This is awesome. The reason I (and apparently most people) were kind of wary about joining up with Google Voice was the necessity to use your Google Voice phone number in order to get all the cool features. This means updating all your contact info and having everyone use your new phone number. BUT NO MORE!

Now, mobile users can sign up and use their CURRENT mobile phone number to utilize a small but not insignificant set of cool features. This includes the transcription of voicemail to text (which can be sent via e-mail OR SMS text), the ability to save voicemail forever even if you switch carriers, and other fun stuff.

It only it wasn't in invite-only beta....if only.
