Google Voice

Jul 31, 2009 etc.

So after Brian told me about Google Voice, I started doing some research into it. Apparently, it seems to be the best thing since the invent of fluffernutter. I have to say that I’m not overly enthused…
BUT
Getting an invite is like the quest for the holy grail.
It was about the chase.
So I found one. And registered.
BUT
The guy who gave it to me basically had to input my number and when he passed the account over, I’m registered twice, which is a no-can-do.
SO
I am patiently awaiting his email response.

Shits driving me bonkers. I can log into my account, but there’s a prompt to enter your info and when I get to the third step:

This number is already being used on two other Google Voice accounts. Forwarding numbers cannot be shared across more than two accounts.

Grrrr…
