Stupid question about Google Voice

[Matth3w]

What is it, exactly? I read the wiki page but I'm not really sure what the point is. Can someone explain what they personally use it for? It might help me understand (I'm a bit dense shortly after I wake up).

Erm,

tough google voice cant be used in europe atm,
i think i understood it as Call/SMS application through web.
Kinda Skype but enhanced.

Correct me if im wrong

I use it with my own number for transcribed sms or emails of my VM. I can also save the audio recording of the VM.

I don't call international or use it for sms.....

Can you elaborate for those of us that don't understand what that means? You mean your voicemail gets sent to you as an SMS or email?
