Nexus 1 and google voice....

[Cuda1447]

I read somewhere that you get a free google voice invite when signing into your gmail account on your Nexus 1. I have set up the google voice program in the phone, but it only transcribes emails. It doesn't actually give me a phone # that I can make calls from. Does anyone know how to get that working properly? Maybe I actually need a real google voice invite and that isn't one?

What happens when you log in to the web interface at google.com/voice? Does it show a phone number next to your username at the top right?

I think when I got an invite, over a month ago, it gave 2 options. 1. voicemail or 2. phone number.

I say go with BigSmooth's suggestion and see what you are set up as by visiting their website.

I added the Google Voice number as a contact on my N1.

you get to pick your phone # so if you didn't, i don't think you have one.

For those looking for an invite. You might get invited by Google the next day or next year but at least you're on some sort of list.

If you're looking for an invite, PM me your email. I've got a few invites to hand out.

Did you login to your account? Go into your voicemail settings. If an account is setup without a number, there will be an option on that page to pick a number.

ive had google voice for a few weeks but no invites to hand out yet. how long did it take you before you get invites?
