Urgently need google voice invite
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:51:53 am »
Does anyone have one to spare? I need to get business cards printed ASAP (submit design to printer tomorrow!) and I don't want to put my cell phone on there.

Please & Thanks!!

There's no reason for me to have a work phone aside from putting its number on my card, so that money can go to more useful things in my business.

I can ask around.. where would you want it sent? (I'm assuming it requires an email address)

The only way to get in is to sign up at https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/ and wait for Google to invite you. I've had it since they started 6 months ago (I was an upgrade GC user), and have never received a single invite credit.

I have three invites right now.  It's recent, though.  I don't think I saw them last week.

Oh, weird! One would think that users who've been around the longest would get them first. Must be some other strategy.

Yeah, that is weird.  I have a few guesses, but the most reasonable one is geographical.  Maybe they can only allow so many new users, and they want to get it to people in certain areas.  I have a Maryland area code for my GV number.

Does this mean you have one...to spare?

I might.  I'm going to ask a few friends if they're interested, and probably offer it to my family too, but if no one is expressing sincere interest, then yes.

I think my gf probably will have invites too, so if I run out, I'll see if she'd send you one.

Read my post! The business day is growing short, and there's less and less people I can ask. :)

yep iago was able to get one for me, distribute yours to your loved ones Sidoh. Thanks anyway. And especially thanks iago. I didn't realize that I got to have my same area code....it's kind of weird and might take some getting used to.

It'll take getting used to having the same area code you always had?

I don't think I quite understand. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

That it's kind of a new number, but not really. If that makes sense.

They send them out quick now I guess.

Just remember that the "in network" crap doesnt work with the Google # (from everything I've read).

There is already free domestic calling though. Or does it still use your minutes? I plan just to use this for incoming calls though.

Where did someone say they expected it?  It was merely highlighted as a disadvantage of using google voice.

Yeah... I was responding to someone (you?) who asked for clarification... I never said I expected it. :)
