While I used Google Voice on Android via an app, it wasn’t the same. With this partnership your Google Voice number is your Sprint mobile number. This is great news for Sprint customers but I hope they are just the first carrier to sign on.

It cost $20 plus whatever your carrier fees might be. While I use Google Voice for my voicemail, I probably won’t be porting any numbers over. I thought about my home phone but it wasn’t allowed. You can watch the video below that explains it over visit the Google blog for more info.

I’m just hoping this isn’t too far away from public release. I have embedded the video below.

Google is offering invites to all students. They say you should have your invite within 24 hours. The service is really popular but rollout seems to be slow. Giving it to all students is one way to rollout fairly quickly.

Google posted a new video explaining Google Voice. I use Google Voice as my voicemail since I got my Droid. The transcripts are awful but it’s still a great service.

Google Voice would be a great addition to your new Droid if you picked one up. Just comment below and use a valid email address. I wouldn’t post your email in the comments. I don’t have as many invites but I will use random.org to pick as many winners as I can. I have some other things to give away later so I would suggest subscribing to the RSS feed for the site. Good luck.

Congratulations to:
Philip
Sandy
Tim

The invites were sent out. I can’t control how fast Google sends them but it is generally pretty fast with the Voice accounts. There will be more contests running here over the next few days so keep checking back.
