I got an invite, too. I'm trying to think of something clever to use for a phone number. Nothing I come up with is available.

Is it possible to create one now and then change/add a Google number later?

From what I read, its a $10 charge to change your number later.

Why would that even cross your mind?

Because a lot of the time the Truth is better than the Fiction.

Blyk is closing up shop here. It was a mobile network mean for 16-24 year olds who got £15 free allowance in exchange for receiving MMS/SMS adverts. I had it (and loved the freeness; i just deleted all the ads!).

Blyk closing up poses questions for Google Voice and how it's going to make money the same way if Blyk tried for 2 years and didn't.

It's Google... they don't need to make money from you, just collect all your information.
They collect information, identify patterns and trends and then sell that information.
We are slowly inviting Google into every aspect of our lives, and none of us seem to care.

Well they haven't used it for evil yet.

The key word is "yet". I know Google is evil, but I have just accepted it...

I got my invite last night, and signed up this morning. Alas.. my dreams of having my phone number be my name (michael) have been shattered. NOTHING I searched for came up with a number, nothing. So i got some lame number instead, for the time being.

There were only two 'vudu' numbers available in my area code. The extra three numbers in one of them spelled 'sux'. The other one didn't spell anything.

At least you got something that was true. Mine doesn't really spell anything..

I got my GV invite. If Google can get GV to do fax-to-email, FoIP, Fax over IP, web fax, efax or ifax(or whatever you want to call it), that will make this the ultimate communication collaboration.

Damn, I can't get my Magic Jack(MJ) to work with Google Voice(GV).
I had to forward my MJ calls to be able to accept GV, but now if you call my GV I cant push buttons to accept the call from my MJ.
I'm soo close to this being a good thing, yet not close enough.

Looks like Google Voice has just made a very nice expansion
http://www.google.com/chat/voice/

now you can do you GVoicing through GMail.
all within the browser and no cell phone or house phone needed.
I'm assuming a headset or mic and speakers will work through gmail.
