Thank you for using Google Voice! By using Google Voice (the 'Service'), you accept and agree to be bound by the Google Terms of Service, the Google Voice Acceptable Use Policy and the Google Privacy Policy, as well as these additional terms and conditions (collectively the 'Terms of Service'). It's important for you to read each of these documents, as they form a legal agreement between you and Google regarding your use of the Service.
Caller ID
If you have a Google Voice number, it will appear on the recipient's caller ID. If you haven't set up a Google Voice number, a generic number or the word 'unknown' will appear to the person you're calling.
Emergency calls
You understand and agree that Google Voice is an enhanced call management application and that Google Voice isn't capable of placing or receiving emergency service calls. In addition, if you haven't set up a Google Voice number but you're using Google Voice to call a public-safety answering point (PSAP), then the PSAP see a generic number or the word 'unknown' on your caller ID and might not be able to call you back.
Google's proprietary rights
Google has the right not to provide calling or connections to any telephone numbers, at its sole discretion. Unserved numbers may include, but are not limited to certain geographical locations, special service numbers, satellite telephony services and other call-forwarding services.
Recording conversations
