Google's fantastic new telephony service, Voice, just got a little bit better. The company this week has rolled out a new feature that lets users forward their SMS to their e-mail, in a manner similar to (albeit likely more coherent than) the service's current voicemail transcription feature.

The new feature also lets users respond to said forwarded text messages via e-mail. According to TechCrunch, a few third-party app have already introduced this functionality, but required information for your Voice account.
