I keep checking and it seems that Google Voice is still only available to the Grandcentral users from when they were open to Beta users way back when! I wonder how long they’ll stay closed. Well, for you lucky ones (and those planning on signing up is ever it is open), check out this trick to help save on your cell phone bill!

First off, you have to have one of those plans where you can add numbers you use often to your “friends and family” network or whatever your service calls it. Then you add your Google Voice number on to your list. Now you can call your Google Voice number without using minutes up. There are two reasons for this:

You can check Google Voice messages with your cell without using cell phone minutes
You can make calls out using Google Voice (so your Google Voice number shows up on caller ID) without using cell phone minutes

Right now, all calls within the United States are free through Google Voice. All you have to do is call your Google Voice number from your cell (which is hopefully attached to your Google Voice account), punch in your four digit code and hit option two in oder to make a call out. Every time you do this, the call will be free PLUS you won’t use up any cell phone minutes!

Neat, huh? Claps for Google once again!

I got to stop reading these. I get jealous that I didn’t sign up for GrandCentral. It’s said it’ll be open in “a matter of weeks” since they opened it a couple months ago! I unclap for Google for not making it open sooner. haha!

NOOO! Don’t stop reading! Google always seems to say stuff like “in a matter of weeks”! But that doesn’t mean you should stop reading about it! That way you’ll be ready to use it to the fullest when they DO open, someday;)
