Google Sends 'Voice' Invites to College Kids Only, We Consider Starting Switched.edu

Unfortunately, we're not eligible to try the VoIP service, since our old college e-mail accounts are no longer active. However, with college kids, Google believes it has found the perfect group to test its new service. After all, youngsters these days are notorious for racking up serious minutes and sending loads of text messages. Plus, with Google Voice, students can read voicemail transcripts on their cell phones, making it even harder for professors to hold their attention during class.

Google voice is so god damn amazing. I signed up for the beta last year sometime. I cant remember exactly when because im really only using my google voice number for voicemail and on the very rare occasions im filling out forms that need numbers. I love it so much! You are able to set up people that you dont want to speak to again and instead of forwarding the call to your normal phone it will send it to a recorded message that sounds exactly like the number is out of service. I have gotten rid of a lot of annoying callers that way. On top of that when you chose your google voice number you get to pick literally whatever you want. You get to type in strings of numbers that you like, you can type in letters to substitute for the numbers if you want a phone number that has a word in it. I personally picked the best god damn number in the world (that i wont say here for security reasons. heh)
THANK YOU SO MUCH GOOGLE, BUT GIVE ME INVITES NOW!
