I’ve been using Google Voice for a while now.  I’ve tried to make it my hub of calling by following some advice on a website I frequent called Lifehacker.com.  The particular article can be found here: Transition to Google Voice I’ve enjoyed it immensely but that isn’t what this article is about.  It’s about never having to pay for cell phone minutes again.  If you have a cell provider that allows to you have a “circle” or choose particlur numbers you call call unlimited anytime, this will work for you.  Some of you might have just put two and two together if you are familiar with Google Voice but here’s how it works:

1. Get  a Google Voice account.  Currently Google voice is in private beta but you can score invtes by searching Google but I might have a few to share if you contact me on my Contact Page
2. Set up to Google Voice account and add your cell phone as at least one of your routing telephone numbers.
3. Set your Google Voice number as one of your “friends, “circle” or whatever your provider calls it.
4. Call your Google Voice number from your cell phone and initiate you call to over 400,000,000 people for free forever.

The best thing about this is there is really nothing cell providers can do about it.  They don’t know the number you are calling is a Google Voice number, it’s a unique phone number you created.  You can call the entire US, Canada and if I recall Mexico and some other foreign countries with Google Voice.

Enjoy the free minutes!
