Just log into your account and the upgrade option should be at the top of your inbox page. I'm liking it so far.

 

[stanrc]

Mine said the same. I checked back every twenty minutes and after about one hour it was there. Good luck!

 

[stanrc]

Sweet, I'll check later tonight.

So, how is this working for you guys so far? Do you like it? It sounds like it is going to be very useful.

 

[AMD+nVidia]

How do I sign up?

 

[stanrc]

There is a freeze on new accounts at the moment. I'm not sure when they are lifting that and allowing new accounts. I have an account but I still don't have the upgrade option

[pale_neon]

Great, now they can start storing records of everyones conversations along w/ their searches and email....

 

[nyder]

personally, i like the idea.

but we'll see how it goes.

 

[dlee7283]

can someone please explain exactly what this is

Do I get a phone number from Google that I can call people at and they can leave voicemails?

 

[lowkickqop]

Yes.

 

[dlee7283]

does anyone have an invite for this. I literally don't even have a cell phone or a lan line so I have to communicate with text messages on GMAIL lol

 

[Coma]

Awesome. I never listen to my voice messages because of how long it takes for the damn automated voice to let you press "play the message already!"

It literally takes like 2 minutes... and you can't go do something else, because it hangs up on you if you wait more than 10 seconds

(my provider)

 

[grayskunk]

What did yahoo! do for email? I actually don't know, not trying to imply they haven't.

 

[Dethredic]

 I would like an invite too. PM me if you can.
