OMG I got my Google Invite Finally!

If you haven't heard yet, Google came out with Google voice. It has some great features. What features you ask? Well here is a quick over view:

If you haven't already heard about it, Google Voice is a service that makes using your current phones much better!

Here's what it offers:

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 ListenIn^TM on your voicemail messages while they are being left, conference calling and more

So today I finally got my invite after waiting for so long....... Is was easy to set up. Did some searches and came up with the number 954-667-7653 that's 954-667-SOLD! What better number then that!!!!

So I have to play around with it some more, but now all my marketing materials, blogs, websites will all have this number. It will then be sent to my cell phone.

For Sale

I can't wait to play around with it some more.....

So now like my For Sale sign reads>>>>>

So you really can Google Me like the sign says.... Of Course will need to change the number.....

UPDATE****** I did a test run and it was so cool, I got a text message from my husband who was checking it out and it said exactly what he left in the message and on top of that I got an email just as if he typed it himself...

Can't get any better....

Congrats Jeannette..and that is awesome..I'll have to play around and get a great number...I use your for sale signs in training! :)

I was just telling Tony how my sign reads true!! Google me!

Now why didn't I think to do that (SOLD) when I got my number, DUH! I like that you can listen in on a message while the person is speaking. SWEET!

Chanda panda

Wow, that's totally awesome! Google's bid to take over the world is apparently succeeding...I can't wait to look into this some more!

Funny it was my husbands idea.. we wanted my last name but it wouldn't work with my area code. Then after I got the number i thought I should have gotten a 800 number....

Denise Its the coolest thing aside from skype..

This is the first I've heard of this but will now look for it

I took the "home" digits .. I am getting ready to start going BIG time with the number ..I like the email message service

MichaelAngelo Go take a look, I have gmail and use it all the time, plus it was on twitter.. I read it there first..

Eric Yeah that is the cool thing!!!!

Congrats Jeannette,

I requested an Google Voice invite about two weeks ago. How long did it take to get your Google Voice invite?

Thanks,

Jeanette, be careful how you place your number on signs. An agent I once used did that on her for sale signs, and some found the sign confusing. A quick glance made it appear that the HOME WAS SOLD. In this market you can't afford to miss a single prospect. (She changed her signs) It's great for business cards and flyers, but I'd exercise caution with signs.

Mary About 2-3 months ago...

John Thanks for the advice, will keep it in mind!

I just went an applied for my invitation... thank you for the resource..

Konnie you are welcome....

Jeannette - I put in for my invite for google voice a few days ago. I'm hoping I get one soon before all the good numbers are gone in the area.

Robert It took some time to get the invite. I almost thought I wasn't going to get it because it was that long.. Good Luck though!

I've also got the google "CALL ME NOW" button on my blog, through google voice of course. Saved me a couple hundred bucks a year for the push to talk button service I used to use.

Ron I am going to have to look into that call me button. Where did you find that at?

I too also got Google Voice, tried to get a cool word number but did not like the options, Good that you got a good option. I was just going over the options and in settings there is a Call Wiget. You could make several wigets.

Love your sign, Jeanette. And what Google Voice offers. I am just not willing to change to a new phone numbers at this point. I love the text message transcription I get with Voice Cloud so I can read my voice mail on my BB. Haven't checked vm in over a year.

Jeff

This sounds like a great resource, thanks for posting, I'll go get on the wait list now!

I got my number about a week ago, it is pretty cool, but I haven't used it much yet. Let me know if you like it. :)

Hadn't heard about Google Voice before. Thanks for the tip, Jeannette! How accurate are the voice transcriptions?

JUL

John the Transcripts were to the T. I couldn't believe it and then there was a link you clicked on to here the VM.

Stacy I will let you know..

Good Luck Josh!

Jeff I see your point in changing numbers. I am still using my regular number, but any new material will have the new one and my clients still can reach me with either number..

Eva I tried using my last name that was a no go, then I tried my county name, that one was no go either, but this turned out well for me!

I like the voicemail to text feature...bout time!

I love this! I tell people to GOOGLE me too! Off to learn more!

I just got a Google invite. I had submitted my request within a couple of days of the first postings appearing on ActiveRain.

Unfortunately, Google Voice is NOT currently available in CANADA even though I got the invitation.

Just signed up for my invite. Thanks for the heads up. I am not always on top of new tech. Thanks again.

I received my invite, but it isn't much different than my ring central account. I've been getting my number forwarded with voicemail / email for a while. The best part of google voice is that it is free.

Jeanette - cool, haven't received my invite yet, but i will be looking for it. But all my calls go to my cellphone anyway.

Jeanette...

I also received my GV invite. I haven't set it up yet. I'm waiting to see what others have to say about it. One of The Members wrote a post about a month ago and pointed out a few things that may or may not be cause for concern. Hence the reason I'm sitting on my invite :)

TLW...ROAR!

I requested an invite- It was a toss up between that and a toll free number.

I've never even heard of this - will check it out. Sounds like you did better choosing your phone number than I did selecting my FB vanity URL!

I have used this for about a two years (Google bought the Grand Central). It has been great!!!

Thanks for sharing a wonderful bit of information. This is what makes Active Rain such a wonderful platform.

Look Under settings and call widgets. Good luck!

That is so cool! I love your sign! Thanks so much for updating us about this awesome service!

Jeani Thomas Richie, REALTOR

I'm really excited about Google Voice. I learned about GrandCentral (the comp. Google bought with the technology) after they had already closed registration to new users. So I've been patiently waiting. Registered my new number last night, but didn't have the BRILLIANT idea of getting "SOLD" or "DEAN" as the last four digits. Very smart!

I can't wait to get some time to play around with it. There are a lot of really interesting features and especially when it comes to cataloging all the calls, texts, voicemails, etc.

Congrats! Now I'm waiting for all the blogs about nifty little tricks that the ActiveRain world comes up with to use with Google Voice.

Just got my invite yesterday too & am looking forward to start playing around with it!

Nice sign BTW.

Dan

In PA our signs have to use our office number, so that wouldn't work as well here.

Google invite? how come I don't have an invite? how does one go about being invited? you guys and gals are way out there in front and I cannot catch up to all of you... slow down please! I am just getting over the skipe thing....

Antonio

I want it. I'm hoping my invite comes soon.

Hi Jeannette,

I heard some really cool things that can be done with the voice. I need to sign up, I am lagging behind!! Thanks for giving me a kick in the pants! :)

-Lisa

Oh Jeanette, this sounds wonderful. Thank you. (Don't tell anyone else!)

JUL

Thanks for the information. I signed up today for an invitation. Hope it doesn't take too long. I will be watching closely to see what changes Google makes.

AUG

I will have to check out Google voice, it sounds pretty interesting, especially the unlimited online storage for voice mails!

I hope you know that Google is nothing more than big brother, cloaked in disguise. I want them to have as little information about me as possible. Remember this famous quote by Benjamin Franklin, "Those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety".
