Google Voice at PSU is available to University employees for calls, text messages, and voicemail. Google Voice provides users with a phone number that can be used for calling and texting on multiple devices including web browsers and mobile devices. Users can save time by reading voicemail in their email inbox, receive protection from spam calls, block unwanted callers, and screen calls before answering.
Start Using Google Voice
To request Google Voice, contact your Technology Coordinator.
Google Voice on Your Computer
Navigate to voice.pdx.edu to use Google Voice from your computer. You can also place and receive calls directly from Gmail (mail.pdx.edu) using the Google Voice widget (not available to shared lines). Visit Google’s system and browser requirements for Voice to ensure compatibility with your system.
Google Voice on Your Mobile Device
For Android devices, download the Google Voice app from the Play Store.
For Apple iOS devices, download the Google Voice App from the Apple Store.
Emergency Service Calling
When your new phone number is requested, your Technology Coordinator will ask you to review the Google Voice Emergency Calling Information to ensure your safety. For additional details, visit Google’s Call Emergency Services support web page.
On-Campus Calls
In a web browser (voice.pdx.edu) or on the mobile app, you can search for and dial PSU employees by name. To make an on-campus call with Google Voice without the directory, you will need to dial all 10 digits. For example, to call the OIT Help Desk, dial 503-725-4357.
Off-Campus Calls
To make an off-campus call with Google Voice, you don't need to dial 9 first. Dial the 10-digit phone number from your desk phone, web browser, or the Google Voice app in your cell phone. You can also make international calls using Google Voice.
