Google Voice Invites on their Way to Mailboxes

Google Voice invites are headed to the mailboxes of all those who had placed a request on the Google Voice website or on GrandCentral, according to an announcement on Google’s official blog.
Google Voice is a new service that assigns a single phone number to a user, which can be used by the user to simultaneously receive calls and SMSes on his other phones. The user can categorize phone contacts into groups and configure the service to forward calls and messages from a certain group to all the phones, or to a pre-specified number(s), or to Google Voicemail – you can read the transcripts of voicemails as well.
A Google phone number is tethered to you and not a phone number or your location. The cherry on the cake, as with most Google services, is that it’s free. However, Google’s largesse has bounds and users will have to purchase new visiting cards that mention their new Google phone number.

We are talking about vioce messages under 20 seconds at least. Soliders in the army, family members in another state or on vacation. People that just want to hear the voice of a loved one... but you live in your mommy's house don't appreciate here. Grow up before your simpleminded thoughts sprout up from that fertilized garden in your head.

Voice mail/messages have been around for quite a while now. It is free with all cell plans. So I think the soldiers and family members have that part covered. Go read up on what google voice actually is. It might be right for you. And please...for the sake of humanity, don't speak again.

I for one have no use for this product, but people with multiple lines might, Especially if I have to basically purchase adds. Goto msmobiles.com and read what google is planning with it's android platform!
Yup, you guessed it...adding adds to android based cell phones to generate revenue for it's free, open source mobile OS. With that said, I will never purchase any android device or any google product.
