> Google voicemail: voicemail like email  
> Voicemail transcription: read what your voicemail says  
> Custom greetings: vary voicemail greetings by caller

Hmm dident think they could sell invites yet… usualy when a service is realitivly new they dont offer users the option to invite friends for quite some time… I remember when g-mail came out… holy fuck the ammount of people selling invites… but if you got on gmail early wasnt to hard to grab an account anyways. I somewhat forgot about google voice till i got my invite… holy fuck I cant belive it took 6 months lol

But Pete, basicly it allows you to have a single phone number that can ring to multiple phones, allows you to make calls on your cell phone showing your google voice number instead of your acctual cell number

Basicaly you can call/text people from a number which isnt tied to your cell phone provider, so if you want to give someone your number or want to give out a number you dont care that people know you dont get bothered with bullshit as you can just send them straight to voicemail without ever being bothered
