Does anyone else have it yet? Before I give my Google Voice number to my friends I want to hear how others like the service. Are there bugs?

I've been using the service for a long time now and it runs ridiculously smoothly.

woo-hoo! that's great news. do friends who call you have to dial all 10 digits if they are in your area?

Well I found that local callers only have to dial 7 digits.

Everyone...this Google Voice has to be the coolest friggin' thing ever! It works perfectly! You get a new 10 digit phone number and when people call that number ALL OF YOUR PHONES RING. Whichever phone you answer takes the call. Now when people call my new number- my cell, my landline, and my office phones all ring simultaneously.

And it's free.
See how Google Voice works with your phones

I was wondering if one of you guys could email me an invite to use it considering the fact that this is a service that I would get a lot of use out of but it is invite only.

Thanks.

I'd be happy to help you out winston89 but at this time only Google can send out invites.

I thought this was going to be like when gmail just got started. You could get it but you had to have an invite from someone who already had it. Now, when it comes to gmail you can just sign up for an account without the invite.

They will probably allow users to send out invites eventually. Have you been to the website to request an invite? It's located at the top of the page.

I did. How long was the turnaround time between requesting an invite and getting one?

I signed up requesting an invite a few months ago but they only just started sending them out so I'm not sure how long it takes if you signed up more recently.
