Google Voice Going to give a free phone number "for life"

http://www.google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?answer=141993

You have to leave your email address to be notified when it starts which is supposed to be soon.

Google Voice is a new Google service that offers "one number for life," so that one incoming call to that number gets forwarded to all your other numbers — work, mobile, home or hotel room. Users get free calls across the United States and international rates cheaper said to be currently cheaper than Skype. Landlines, computers and cellphones can all access its services. Voicemails are automatically transcribed and sent as e-mails or text messages, and there are loads more features, including smart handling of SMS messages, free conference calls, switch phones during a call, the ability to listen to a incoming voice mail before taking a call and call recording. Available now to current Grandcentral users but check out the video features to find out what they have planned.
 
This is already going out to people who use GrandCentral.com but my account isn't ready for upgrade yet, whatever that means.
 
I remember was going to happen a long time ago, but never did.
 
It is up and running but seems to still be on an invitational basis. I received my invite and signed up for a free phone number. Had a buddy do a couple of test calls and it works fine.
Seems that the catch is the calls are free on in the states. Rates start at $0.01 and up depending on the country you want to call outside the states.
It has a lot of interesting things you can do, forwarding, etc.
The site is set up so you view your calls similarly to they way you see your emails in Yahoo or whatever and can play the messages that have been left. You can call back through your home phone through their website. I believe it uses their phone number to call from and that number, not your home number, will show in the caller ID.
they have mobile and sms abilities.
If you want to get on the list for an invite go here:

then just wait!
