I just got an invitation to use Google Voice:

"You are invited to open a free Google Voice account. If you haven't already heard about it, Google Voice is a service that makes using your current phones much better!

Here's what it offers:

* A personal phone number that rings all of your existing phones when people call
* All of your voicemail in one inbox with unlimited online storage and free voicemail transcripts sent to your phone and email
* Low-priced international calling to over 200 countries and free SMS
* Other powerful features like the first phone spam filter to protect you from unwanted callers, the ability to ListenInTM on your voicemail messages while they are being left, conference calling and more

To learn more about Google Voice before registering, visit: http://www.google.com/voice/about

Please note that Google Voice is only available for sign up in the US.

We hope you enjoy Google Voice,

The Google Voice Team"

Sweet! Now, from two perspectives this is interesting. Technically, I bet there's a bunch of possibilities using an API. Google Vice raised a big stir in the business communit when it was first announced. And, I have enjoyed Skype so much...can't wait to see what Google Voice has to offer. Any observations?

Stay tuned!
