When Google Voice launched in March, it was only available to people who were already subscribing to the service Grand Central, the company that Google bought and turned into Voice (also a pain since getting a Grand Central account wasn't always easy).
Finally, though, Google Voice is now being opened up to anyone. Of course, you still have to request an invite, which I personally just did, because it just seems worth it for the free call management system (you get a single number that can ring multiple lines, an Internet-based voice mail system, and you can make Skype-like calls over the Internet).
It does seem like a lot of hoops initially, but I know a lot of geeks are lining up for Google Voice. Are you?

after so many good reviews, im excited to try out this service.
1I am seriously considering it!
2I'm excited to try it! I signed up for the invite back in March when they started talking about it
3I have been a Grand Central user since the beginning and I've always loved it. Some of the features are ones I would never have thought I need, but find myself irritated that my phone at work doesn't have the same usability.
My favorite feature that is new with the Google Voice is the SMS messaging capability. This has been a life saver when I have accidentally left my phone behind at work, since I don't have a landline at home.
I'm still getting used to the new functions and layout of Google Voice, but overall I highly recommend it.
Love love love it!
4i know i can't wait. i kept my kansas city number so my fam could call for free but i really need a seattle number so i can buzz people into my apartment and get reminder calls from my hair salon. haha.
5God, I've been waiting for this *forever*. I can't wait until I can get an account.
