Finally taking Google Voice out for a spin

19Aug09

Google voice is one of those things I have been waiting around for with high expectations. When I finally got the invite, I tried to hook it up, but when accessing the www.google.com/voice page from where I live in France, I was greeted with “We are sorry but this is not available in your country.” What to do? Since I was moving back to the States in less than two months, I wanted to start giving out a number I could use for job prospects instead of my French number. Finally, I got my friend to log into my account and set it up using his phone. Pretty simple. Now, I can access the interface and mess around and even receive messages send directly to my email! Pretty slick stuff. Can’t wait to start using this with a new cell phone.
