    1. I have a spare invite if you’d like one. Do you want me to send it to the
      address from your comment?

      2. Do you need a name for this invite? And is it better if I use a gmail address or is my regular acncan@hotmail.com address good enough?

        1. You should be able to link your hotmail addy to your GMail acct. Just have
          GMail open on your browser when you go to Google Voice for the first time.

          Enjoy!

      3. Just in case I wasn’t clear thanks for the Google voice invite. It has come in real handy. I have been using my Majic Jack as the US based forwarding number.
        But of course just when you think you’ve got it figured out you get a curve. Now Majic Jack finally has Canadian Area Codes. If I take the Canadian area code and I have to then my Google voice number wont forward anymore.

        By any chance do you another way to get a US number that will forward to a Candian number or do you have any idea when GV will forward to Canada?

        As far as I know you know everything.
