I’ve Been Invited to the Party… by Google Voice!

I’m special, because Google said so!  ;)

So I received the long awaited email yesterday inviting me to join Google Voice (GV).  I was excited to receive the message and anxious to set up my new GV account.  Once I completed the activation process I thought to myself, “Now what in the world am I going to do with a GV account?!”

Some of you may be asking, “What is Google Voice?”  Well the easiest way for me to explain it is to post the following bullets from my [exclusive] invitation only email.  See how I threw that in there?

  • A personal phone number that rings all of your existing phones when people call
  • All of your voicemail in one inbox with unlimited online storage and free voicemail transcripts sent to your phone and email
  • Low-priced international calling to over 200 countries and free SMS
  • Other powerful features like the first phone spam filter to protect you from unwanted callers, the ability to ListenInTM on your voicemail messages while they are being left, conference calling and more

Now that you clearly understand what GV is, maybe you can suggest what I should do with my new phone number.  I thought about using it for individuals/companies that I don’t want to have my actual phone numbers, but that just seems wrong… Or does it?  Either way, I’d like to know what you’d do with a GV number by participating in my online poll!
