Mission Google Voice Number
 

Google Voice (GV) is a service that allows you to sign up for a phone number through Google. This number then can be used in many flexible ways, such as automatically forwarding to several different phones, performing different actions based on who is calling, receiving voicemail as emails, etc.

The Mission now has a GV number which we will use from now on as our official number for calling the Mission Center (it has been changed throughout the website, such as on our contact us page). The greatest advantage of this service for us is that it can be forwarded to any other number - therefore, even if for some reason our actual number changes, we can simply forward the GV number to the new number. Therefore, this GV number can always be given as the number to reach the Center, and will never change!

GV can also forward calls to several numbers. So if we add our cell phone numbers to the list, we will be able to answer the phone even if no one is in the Center at the time! It is a very flexible and handy service.

Another advantage of GV is the "Call Me" widget you will now see next to our contact number in several places on the website. This allows you to call us directly from your computer by keying in your number and then letting Google connect the call (Google will call your phone first, then connect you to ours). Hopefully this will facilitate our outreach by providing an easy way for someone to contact us as they are browsing!

Our GV number is: (505) 433-7771. If you also use Google Voice, you can actually call this number directly from your computer to reach us (you will need a headset to listen and talk).

Questions and inquiries are welcomed (please read the questions policy first), as well as ideas for Mission outreach, offering your services and talents to help our Cause, etc. Please only call between 7 AM and 9 PM MST (Mountain Standard Time) - we do not pick up outside of these hours. If we miss your call, please leave us a message, and we will surely get back with you!
