Google started their new service called google voice qhich is a great service but why they launched it just in US , and i have no idea whats wrong with them , if they can trace the IP and figure out from where the account is created why don't they do it while sending invites , it really sucks when you do get an invite and still can't create an account and use the service , this it disgraceful :-(|||Once invited, you use a US zip code to get a list of available numbers in your peticular zip code. Google only has access to available numbers in the US obviously because google is based in the us. Im sure there are tons of restrictions and red tape google would have to go through to get access to other countries zip codes, or equivalent thereof, and gain access to unused telephone numbers in said "zip code" areas.
And hulu cant do anything because of copyright restrictions on the content they show. Most the shows on hulu are based in America. Why else would there be different dvd country regions and release dates? Same thing with hulu.|||You can create an account. You'll probably get an invite after a few weeks from what I've heard, but you won't be able to do anything with the account if you're not in the United States.
I used to have an account with Grandcentral that worked fine with my Canadian phone number. Once Google bought them, they invited me to "migrate" to Google Voice. The problem is that now it will no longer let me use my phone number, and I can't revert back to Grandcentral! It's really annoying. Hopefully they'll expand soon.
These online American companies are really weird...they're all obsessed with "region restricions" like Google Voice, Hulu, and others. It's really dumb...companies from other countries don't do that...it's some asinine elitist American crap.|||Google Voice is currently invitation only.
And possible they are only able to give out US numbers at this time.
Google does attend to begin support for additional countries but there is no time-frame at this time.
