Google Voice Beta was announced a while back, and has since been making progress.
I’m going to make this post short, and not go into a whole spiel about Google Voice.
Google Voice invites for students (and staff) with a .edu email address are being given higher priority to invitations.
For More Information: www.google.com/voice
To Sign Up: www.google.com/voice/students
The following an excerpt from the Google Voice blog:
We’ve found that Google Voice can be useful in many different ways to many different people. … We’ve heard college students in particular really appreciate getting their voicemail sent to their email, sending free text messages and reading voicemail transcriptions rather than listening to messages (especially handy while in class).
But since Google Voice is currently only available by invite, a lot of students are still listening to voicemail and sending text messages the old-fashioned way. As a recent college graduate, I can’t think of anything more painful! So starting today, we’ll be giving priority Google Voice invites to students. To get an invite, just visit google.com/voice/students and enter an email address that that ends in .edu.
