Google Voice - Anyone using it?

[Illuminati]

Anybody using it? I just requested an invite to try it out.

If you are using it, how do you like it?

I just read the PCWorld article on it and think this service could really take off if you could port your existing number to Google Voice... (hoping they could port my Vonage number).

Didn't this just come out like yesterday?

It's free, so that sure beats Vonage.

I saw that too, i would like to try certain features out (translation of voicemail)
i think its been available to customers of the GrandCentral company they bought out and they just now are opening it up to more?

Ya, apparently it has been out to a select few, and now they are opening up additional invites.

Interesting. At work we got rid of our desk phones and everyone is transitioning to a VoIP setup through M$ Communicator. I have mine setup to forward calls to my cell. And I have the choice of answering either via USB headset or cell. I also get any voice mails as an mp3 email attachment. The bonus is that we got rid of a ton of PBX's. Also, I can take my work phone with me anytime my laptop is on the company network.

For a consumer level product this Google thing looks pretty slick.
