Can't Install Google Voice

Why can't I install Google Voice and Google Voice enabled applications? I have read that this app was removed because it "duplicates functionality" already on the iPhone. Can you please tell me what application already on the iPhone allows me to place calls for free and send SMS messages for free?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.7), iPhone 3GS

No one here can answer this. You can use the web based Google Voice on the iPhone.

Duplicate functionality is not why it was removed.
There are many blog posts in any given number of Tech sites or Apple sites that will go into detail and odds are far better than any user here trying to explain real quick. Also the FCC is also questioning this matter.

I was wondering how to get the message to Apple that I object to their removal of the Google Voice app from the app store. There is no place on the site that gives a phone number or eMail address for user feedback! There is a snail mail address for Apple headquarters. Maybe we should all send Apple dead tree mail to object?
