GOOGLE VOICE... is it too good to be true?

[west2east]

People who are already using google voice can't invite their friends, but you can sign up for the invite list yourself. Follow this link https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/, enter the info and they should send youan email in less than two weeks letting you know you are able to register. It's pretty cool.

i'll hook it up with invites as soon as i figure out how to do it.

we cant invite people yet...

actually they started giving some users invites around oct 12th. not all users have invites. to check to see if you can give invite out, you haveto go online. the invite section will be listed at the bottom of the inbox area.

lets say you have a friend a guy name Bob and another guy named Mark

Bob dials Mark's google voice number, this is how the phone call will Work

Bob >>>>Google Voice>>>>>Verizon>>>>>>Mark

Bob basically calls google, google forwards the call to verizon which is marks service provider, then goes to marks phone (goes for text messages as well)

Google voice is free btw

So you need a service provider, Heres what People are doing to TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!

Verizon and ATT recently started to offer free UNLIMITED calls to 10 people (verizon) 5 people (ATT) on any network, its basically T-mobile 5 faves

That means Mark can choose his mom, his home, Bob and up to 10 people to call for free since hes on verizon

instead of choose 10 people, he chooses 1 number as his Google Voice Number

So if Bob calls mark again, hes calling his google voice number, and Mark is using verizon to talk to Google voice, which Mark has UNLIMITED minutes with ANYONE who calls his google voice number

that may be confusing for many of you, but you guys should take advantage of it

IF YOU WANT FREE UNLIMITED MINUTES^

oOMG....

...i'll be going to hell now

What if mark wants to call Bob? Does it work on outgoing calls? Like can Mark call google and have google call whoever? And if so would you only be charged for the call to google and not the call google makes? I need a set up like this.

anyone? I guess its unlimited incoming phone calls

i just checked my account and i have 3 invites. Send me a pm if you want in.

I use this for work and its been a blessing. I do in home repairs for dell and had to call customers to schedule appointments. before i would have to leave mycell #. People would call me back at all times of the night, or call me weeks later instead of calling tech support. So now i just give them my gv number, havethe calls go straight to voice mail, and i can respond to people whenever i please. Basically saved me from getting a second cell, which I was about to do.

Also if you have a nosey gf/bf, you can give your slide the google voice number, and have them call that instead of your cell so it doesn't show in yourcall history.
