Solve : Google Voice?

Answer»

I just read up about google voice and it SOUNDS really cool. It says it's invite-only right now, so I was wondering if anyone here has a GV account and is willing to invite me. I heard that all calls become local calls...but I can't find any info on that. If that was true, that would be really usefull because my grandparents LIVE in England, and we don't get to talk much because of long DISTANCE fees.

If anyone is willing to help me out, that'd be greatly apreciated. I have an account but no invites, sorry.What about Skype?
Free, too You can go to their web site and invite yourself.  They say they will get back to you, but don't give a time frame.

For calls to England, you might want to check out Vonage as your phone provider. Quote from: rthompson80819 on January 15, 2010, 06:19:45 PM

I'm tied to Bell. Three year contract...but I get a federal discount rate. All the basic ($25) features, but cheaper long distance rates (in Canada and the US) for half of the original. I did sign up for an invite, but I hear those ones can take a long time to arrive. My grandpa may already have a google voice account (he was one of the first invited uses to gmail, I would have too, but I stuck with hotmail for a while longer). I will have to ask in the morning.

Broni Skype on my cellphone?

Long distance isn't that expensive anymore man.  I spend some time doing international calls, about three hours a month really, it only costs me about six bucks. Quote from: Helpmeh on January 15, 2010, 07:14:58 PM

WOW at 14 years old you pay your own phone bill. More young people need to do this. Or were you meaning that you parents currently use Bell?

What did you sign some kind of contract with hotmail or something? You are never "stuck" with any free email provider you can drop them at any time.

My mom does use bell for the home phone service, but the discount only applied to new cellphones. And a lot of people just a little bit older than me pay for their cellphones. It's just one more step to freedom from their parents.

Stuck as in stayed. I didn't really feel like changing yet.

This is a Samsung VICE. It is not a webphone, iPhone, etc.

Well you should have said that you chose to stay with hotmail and not that you were stuck with it. The words "stayed" and "stuck" mean two different things.

"I stuck by his side" They can mean one and the same. Do you have to analyze my sentences word-by-word? Quote from: Helpmeh on January 17, 2010, 07:45:42 AM

On Saturday? That's got to be a s***ty job. additionally in the context it says that you "stuck with hotmail for a while longer" in this context "stuck" is a synonym for "stayed with" or, in a way, that you "toughed out" a little longer with it.

Well my "work" (school) basically whenever I have an excuse to go on my laptop, I'm allowed to use it. I love my IEP. I go on here quite often, just to see what's happening.
