Google Voice now Open for Everyone!

Slightly  over a year ago, (At the Google I/O I believe)  Google released a preview of Google Voice. The web-based phone with text and voice mails. It was service that allowed you to have one Google Voice number and for that, later, to ring all your phones. Also they had a brand new way of voice mail. When people called you and left a voice mail their voice was turned into text. Which you could later hear. They allowed you to make unlimited national calls in the US & Canada. And if you need to make an international calls you can make "...low-priced international calls and more"

The thing was that it was not open to everyone. You had to fill out a form and after a lengthy period of time (For me it was a couple of weeks) you got an invite. Today Google announced that "after lots of testing and tweaking, we’re excited to open up Google Voice to the public, no invitation required." That means you head on to www.google.com/voice and create an account.

If you haven’t yet tried Google Voice or just heard about it, try it out and give Google some feedback. Apple and Google are some of the few companies that care about customer support. (IMHO) If haven’t seen what Google Voice can do yet, the video below provides a clear view of what it is, in about 2 minutes.
