I got an "invite" from one of the members of this forum. It is "instant" and I had my numbers as soon as I was able to scroll thru hundreds of choices, let go of the obsessive/compulsive search for the perfect number, and choose the one I liked best. I am very appreciative. I have gone to Google Voice invitation page and asked for an invite but not yet gotten one. Should I get invites, I will certainly share them here with you. My Droid comes tomorrow. I'm very excited. Should any of you be prior Verizon customers, ask for the Win Back program department. They are empowered to offer a very good deal. Obviously the Droid is not going to hold any "value" as it has been on Wirefly for as little as $130, though that seems to be only for certain zip codes. But it is on Wirefly, Amazon, Sears, etc. for $150. But I went thru Verizon as I wanted their warranty. Sherry
