Does anybody have Google Voice that can send me an invite since it is invite only. I am interested in trying it out and comparing it to skype.

Unfortunately, my invites are gone, but Google is offering free accounts to anyone with a .edu email address.. Not sure if you've got one, but all you need is that plus a Google account, and you're set.

Past that, if you really want an account, invites can be bought on Ebay for ~$3. It would give you free USA calling, texting, etc. Just would have to have a phone to link it to, as it's not a 1:1 comparison to Skype.

Man, sucks that it's US only. Figured it out when I got an invite. Thank goodness I didn't click the invite link and sent it back to the person who invited me. I wonder if that did something?

Well, does anyone know if it will expand? Preferably soon? It's probably hopeless, but oh well.

I have an .edu email address, if someone gives me links I'll send an invite.

I have one. I have two invites left and I'm going to save one if I want to give it to an IRL friend who is considering it.
PM me, Nike.

Well, I just got it from earth so I am no longer in need of an invite. Sorry Cliff Dude but thanks for the help. Also thanks PFK.

Figuring a lock is not too out of the question, so let me know if I'm wrong in this assumption.
