I had to be careful in that when I was using GV to make my calls it was routing the number via a 786 area code and I was getting charged minutes on the random numbers google voice used in the calling process. My GV number is listed in the friends. I used the GV call back app and that fixed my problems.

Voice Invite

I hope this is ok to do.

I have a few invites left on GV. The next couple to email me can have them. MY sn here at gmail is where to email me your gmail addy.

I am so excited to use GV finally. Thank you all for the information. My GV number is already in friends and family but I rarely use it YET.

Could not find your e-mail address, and board would not let my send private message, I did not have enough posts. I assume you gave away all the invites, if not I would love one. Thank you either way.

So is it true that if you add your GV number to your 5 Family/Friends list, you can theoretically get unlimited outgoing calling if you dial numbers via GV? (i.e. dial your GV number, and at the prompt dial the number you are trying to call for free)

I've been calling the Dominican Republic for the past week and ANY number I call over there , I get a busy signal..I've been calling with my Droid Incredible's GV app..it's been like this since last Friday..anybody else having problems making International calls?

Found one negative. I have my phone setup to make all outgoing calls via google voice. I just recently moved and have been calling my parents often on their cell numbers. They don't have unlimited minutes but they have free verizon to verizon. Problem is they were charged since the call was being made with GV.

This kind of sucks. I want all my outgoing calls to be the GV number but there is no easy way to just call my parents with my verizon number this way. So I now have the phone setup to ask me everytime I make a call. I hope maybe they can add a feature where you can make exceptions to the standard settting based on the contact. As an example, set my phone up to make all outgoing calls via GV. Then in my contact list on GV I can specifiy to call just that contact on GV.

About 10:30 AM on the 8th, I put in a student invite request http://forum.androidcentral.com/dro...-does-google-voice-work-inc-2.html#post151882

Google's response was that I would receive an invite in 24 hours.

At 12:09 PM on the 11th, I received the invite. Just FYI for those of you with an .edu address available to them.

Also, Google Voice for Students will give you an instant (i.e. no waiting for a slot to be open, some say it's been instant, others said it took a few days) google voice account if you have a .edu e-mail address.

Thanks, Zabi.
