Google Voice is a service available only for the US users that enables you to make calls, send SMS, preview the messages in your Inbox, and receive notifications.
If you do not like the extension turning numbers into click to call links then you can turn it off in the extension Options page.
SMS is only available for accounts with a Google Number.
SMS is not available in voicemail only accounts.
Note:

· Sometimes your forwarding phone list will be empty. If this happens make sure you are logged in to Google Voice account and then wait about 30 minutes. The problem should fix itselft automatically within 30 minutes and work from then on.
