Well I managed to get over 120 people in, so that was a success. Google have now taken my invite button away, so no more invites, I'm afraid.
Sorry to shout, but I've started to get pm's now asking for invites.
Okay, I've edited the 1st post cos I realised it will just disappear if there's no posts on it and I want to invite as many people as possible. Google+ is looking VERY good at the moment and the more people we can get in the better!
Thanks that was quick

You're welcome mate
Not many people taking up the offer, so it's easy to keep track of, and everyone seems to be getting in straight away as well. Win!
Thanks for the quick invite, but I just get a button that says "Learn more about Google+" and when clicked takes you to screen that tells you it is in limited Beta and offers to keep you posted. So are invites closed already or am I missing something?
thanks, just input my email address and was invited. But how to use g+?

My invitation had a link that said something like "View or comment on post »" and I used that to sign up.
If that's not working then just keep the email and try every now and then, but they were definitely accepting invites very recently.

There's not much to it, once you get going.
Just applied Thanks in advance!
[edit]
Got the invite, thank you very much! But:
Google+ is in limited Field Trial
At the moment, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us your email address and we'll make sure that you're the first to know when we're ready to invite more people.

I saw somewhere that there's a workaround for Google+ invites not working; I can't confirm this or anything, obviously... anyway, I think the article said that if you share something with a friend (i.e. you put in their e-mail address to share it), then it'll send out an e-mail to the thing you shared (like a post on your "wall" or whatever it's called), and then you can sign up. Just speculation, dunno if it works or not ^^
And yeah, I used my gmail account.

That's a very good point. Most of the people that are posting their email addresses to the spreadsheet are using gmail or googlemail addresses. There's only a few that haven't so maybe that's a deciding factor. I suppose it would make some sense, while it's still in beta.
Edit: Just saw Breece's post above. This obviously isn't the case.

So, I've been waiting for months and months, and really would love to use the Google Voice thing on my G1. Never used Grand Central.
The Google people seem way too slow and love to tease
Anyone can help? I'd appreciate very much..
TIA...
As of right now, I've not seen an option to invite folks. I got mine a few days ago via signing up on the Google Voice site. It'd been about a month or two since I had last signed up to test it. I've had numerous folks asking me for an invite, but unlike Gmail, I've not seen an invite feature. Guess you just have to be patient until Google picks you.
I'm a GC/GV beta tester, and one of the option's it shows in the control panel is Tell A Friend. I've never used it, and it's not very descript at all. I don't know if this feature will get you an immediate acct or just have you sign up to be notified whenever it does go out beta. I'll be glad to give it a try if want. Shoot me a private message msg here on XDA with your email address. It's worth a shot I guess.
where are you seeing that?
Been a GC/GV bet bunny since GC popped into existence. Never seen that option to "tell a friend". Maybe I don't really have any friends? Or maybe its new? where are you seeing that, under Settings?
I was one of the first to sign up and I got mine a couple weeks ago, it doesn't appear that I have any invites to share but here is the link from Google.

Thanks a lot. I'll send you a PM. Whether it works or not, I do appreciate your help.
I tried to register for invites (2-3 times maybe, since March or so, with different email IDs) and now it's July and I still got none from Google!

Yes I did... At least 2 different @gmail addresses... But 4-5 months is a bit long time and kind of frustrating... Esp. it could be very useful for my line of work (if the features they promise are true) plus would make my G1 phone more of what it should be...
I just got mine after 2 weeks

I'm in VoIP / 3G / satellite business and yes it's kind of a drug I guess. Especially I am addicted to my G1. I'll seek professional help, I swear.
I just got my invite on Thursday, applied back in March with a gmail address. I have been using PF Visual Voicemail and it's been great, but the Google service is clearly better for those us running most of our email/phone/messaging lives via Google. Hope you get your invite soon, it's definitely a winner!
Anyone know if a Google branded app will be released soon? The GV app is good, but I'd love to have another option as well.

A quick update:
So, this morning I finally received the official Google Voice invite from Google.
Now, imagine my absolute joy and relief, that after waiting for it since March (!) I click on the link in that email only to see
"Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future. "

Somebody I don't know said a bunch of crap about me publically on Google+, and tagged me in the posts. I know I can't untag myself from them, but unless they actually visit this guy's page, will followers of me on Google+ see these tagged posts?
It depends on who he posted them to. You can select to make anything you post totally public. Post a link and I'll see if I can see it for you.
Other than that, Google must surely give you a way of untagging yourself for this very reason. Get in touch with them and ask the question.
The post was totally public, and he has no connection to me through anyone following me.

I'm just curious if anybody following me can see it on their stream or anything.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Well, I have another Gmail account and I made a Google+ account there, followed myself with the original account, and the other account. I don't see that post on the new account following the one with the tagged posts. So I should be good, right?
It sounds like it. TBH, I doubt many people can say for sure as Google+ is so different to the Facebook that we're used to.
I think you've done the best thing you can to test it.

K good. So nobody else can see it unless they go to the guy's page. Which wouldn't happen because he lives 4000 miles away and has no connection to me. But there HAS to be a way to untag myself, but I've been looking for hours on this and all I'm seeing is untagging pics.

Like I said earlier, the only thing I can think of is to ask Google. You can't be the 1st person that's needed to do this.
They don't really have a support email I can contact for this type of thing. I sent feedback and posted something on their forums. I'm just worried about somebody seeing this crap. I muted the post, that's about as far as I can go.
But, you said you didn't see anything...

I wasn't talking about you. I was simply responding to your post in which you felt the need to resort to name calling.
I've received 15 messages in my inbox from random people begging (quite literally) for invites. And then the guy who posted above yours was asking as well. All of these people have joined within the last couple of months and seem to have very few posts and minimal "thanks", which is a great indication that they come around here just to ask for things such as One+ One invites and more recently, Inbox invites.
Of course I'm not going to hold onto invites just to be spiteful. I have friends who I know will want them. And, quite frankly, if someone on here with an actual reputation for helping/contributing to this community asked me for an invite, I'd be more than happy to give them one. But like I said, I'm not going to just hand them out to the leaches of this site. You've got to see where I'm coming from here...

224444 is being used to send text message notifications by Google to their list of different users who have opted-in to their SMS notification program. Many websites, mobile apps, and other businesses use their short codes to notify their users of current deals being offered, promotions, coupons, when tables are ready at their restaurants, password changes, and other time sensitive information related to their individual accounts. This is to keep their users informed with up to date information, give their subscribers coupons and deals, and also to verify that the user attempting to make changes to their account is the verified account owner.
Maybe at some point, you registered your phone number to one of Google services (maps, youtube, etc) and they want to keep you informed.
On the other hand, if you didn't do any of this, it may be possible that you accepted some bad cookies or notifications from surfing the internet. In that case, you can uninstall and reinstall your browser. Hope that this could give you an answer to your question ?. If not, you may have to do some researches of your own Google account security settings.
