Google voice gives direct access numbers on Android and Blackberry

Google added direct access numbers to its Google Voice for mobile application on Android and Blackberry smartphones.
Google July 22 moved to speed up calls placed on Android and Blackberry smartphones through its Google Voice for mobile application, the latest in a string of changes the company has made to its phone management tool.
Google Voice is a free Web calling and phone management application. The program, which is used by more than 1.4 million people in the world, gives users one number to ring their home, work and mobile phones.
The app, which was just made available to everyone in the U.S. June 22, also lets users make free calls and text messages in the United States and Canada and make low-cost international calls.
The mobile version for Google Voice Android and Blackberry phones, available to those who already have a Google Voice number, now allows users to place calls much faster.
To this point, when people used the the Google Voice app to make a call, the app logged a request with the Google Voice server to send the phone number the user wished to dial. The call would be connected via a Google Voice access number.
Google is now using a feature called “direct access numbers.” Google now assigns a unique phone number to every person a user calls, essentially bypassing the data network to access the server each time a user places a call.
Google Voice for mobile is available here.
Users with Android and Blackberry devices may download it and a Web version is available for Apple iPhone, Microsoft Windows Mobile and Nokia smartphone users. However, these platforms aren’t accorded the same faster calling access.
