Update for Google Voice allows you to "pre-fetch" voicemails even with no network coverage

How can we cheer you up on this Tuesday? How about by telling you that Google Voice has been updated and now has some new features to offer users. The application will now allow you to send emails to multiple recipients. At the same time, you can "pre-fetch" your voicemails so that you can listen to them in areas where there is no data coverage. Other changes include an improvement to text message notifications.

As usual, Google Voice can be found for free in the Android Market. Ah, and we must remind you to open the app at least once before routing calls through Google Voice. The app requires users to have an Android phone running 1.6 or higher-which is just about everyone with a phone running Google's open source OS.

Google Voice lets you place free domestic calls and cheap international calls and allows you to send free text messages.
