Google Voice invites
I've got a couple of Google Voice invites, so if you want one, please let me know.
In case you don't know much about Google Voice, here's how it works:
- You choose a phone number from virtually any part of the US.
- When people call that number, they are forwarded to the phone of your choice.
- Text messages and voicemails are stored online and go to your email too.
- International calling rates are slightly cheaper than Skype, at least in some cases, and you have the added convenience of being able to use regular phones.
One neat trick you can use Google Voice for is to avoid having peak minutes charged to your cell phone by putting your Google Voice number in your "Friends and Family" list if you have Verizon Wireless or another provider that gives you unlimited calling to a small set of numbers. You call your Google Voice number, enter the number you want to call, and it connects you (free within the US).
