You put in the aread code, city, or zip code. They give you options and you pick one.

I got my invite Friday. I had trouble verifying my phone # until I switched to a pc running Google Chrome.

I haven't played w/ all the features yet, but one of them that sounds interesting is the option to personalize greetings by caller.
I'm gonna have a lot of fun w/ that one.

After I entered my zip, it showed me the #'s I could choose from.
I took the area code and prefix, and started looking for easy #'s to remember.
For example:
If you #'s are (213) 970-????
You could search for 1234 or 2020 or spell something out.
A guy named Mike could search for (213) 970-MIKE(6453)

I would do that. What I would do is give ur GV # to new ppl from now on and give ur GV # to ppl who maybe just maybe in the future you might need to block be like here is my new # I changed my old one. And give out your real number to important ppl. That's what imma do. I don't see the need to give everyone who has your real number your GV # but anybody from here on out I would just give my GV # too

yup, I got 555-matt

and i'm getting cards made up with that #, cuz I really didn't want to print my cell # on cards that would get floated around. I've been specifically waiting for this #. now I have txt and email to remind me to call someone back, otherwise I always forgot.

but like I told my mom, important ppl will still use my real #, at least until I'm sure the service is stable.

Does anyone know if they have 319 area codes yet? When I signed up for it originally 2 years ago they didn't.

Well it’s not incoming number portability but it’s better than
nothing… While the Google Voice team continues to battle through a
massive back log of customers itching for their invites, a nifty new
feature popped up today for current Google Voice users. Love the service
but hate your number? Well now you can change it on the Phones tab
under Settings . There is a one-time fee of $10 to change your number
but it’s a small price to pay. If you need help picking a new Google
Voice number, there’s even a great little number picker tool that lets
you type out words and try to snag their corresponding phone numbers.
The best part — your old number stays active for 90 days so you
don’t have to go crazy hitting all your contacts with your new contact
info in a rush. Sweet!
