Thanks to a certain west coast Canadian, I recently received a Google Voice invite. So far it looks to be invite only, so you may have to wait to get your own. It's already proving useful since I get zero reception on my mobile phone at work, so the "ring multiple phones at once" option means I don't have to run to the window in hopes of enough signal to avoid dropping the call. I also have a well organized SMS inbox, ring schedules, call screening and forwarding,
custom voicemail, and a whole host of other things. If you get a text message from me with the new number, you'll know I love you. If not, you can click the banner to the right. It's probably a stupid idea to put a phone connect on my blog, but the fact that I can shut it down at any time gives me a warm, reassuring feeling. Plus I'm curious how long it will take for spambots to figure out how to call it.

Dude your giving me a workout! And no I wont call you, it's very creepy to hear an actual human on the other end of a phone that I text/IM to all day. Stavos |
n00b! If you were using Grand Central, you still have all of the same services, plus a few additional niceties... with a new name: Google Voice. Duane |
