Google Voice is moving forward. Whereas the application was just available to users of GrandCentral (a service Google acquired in mid-2007), all of the people who have requested access should now (or at some point in the near future) be receiving invitation emails.
A post on the Official Google Blog instructs would-be users on what to do next. "Once you receive your invitation, just click on the link and follow the instructions to setup your new Voice account. To help you find a Google number that is personalized to you, we’ve added a number picker that lets you search by area code and text. See if you can find a number that contains your name, a specific word or a number combination."
Then here are two important notes. First, if you haven’t filed a request, it’s not too late. A page is ready to accept names and email addresses, and you’ll be added to whatever sort of waitlist Google’s working through.
Second, there was actually a segment about Google Voice on the "Today" show this morning, and since there would be little point in teasing everyone with a years-away piece of technology, it’s possible that Google will do away with the waitlist and make Google Voice universally available in the near future.
The video below does a quick job of explaining how Google Voice works if you by some chance haven’t heard of it or are interested in a refresher.
Google says the service is going to be free, i can’t say how happy i am, what i know is that i will surely get one of this numbers.
I got the invitation on Friday night at 9:19 p.m. edt. I followed the link on Saturday morning and was shown videos. But I did not move to sign up right away because I was very busy moving. By Sunday, the invitation had been withdrawn and I was being asked to sign up to be invited. What gives at Google Voice? This is the work of indian givers!
This is what you get as a rejoinder if you don’t act on your google voice invitation right away:
Sign Out
Invalid Invitation
Sorry, that invitation code is invalid. Request an invitation here.
If you used this invite before, you can now go to http://www.google.com/voice.
