Does anybody know if this service will be available for European users? - Pierre TAMISIER from FriendFeed MT Plugin

This article confused me. Google Voice has been out for months now and all the Grand Central users have already been prompted to move over to it. If you were a Grand Central user then you already have a number so there's no need to "check those emails and get ready to claim your number, they could go fast." There are no new numbers available except to Google employees and a few special individuals who they want to give them out to. Previous Grand Central users don't have any invites to give out (I wish we did). Maybe when Google Voice "opens up" there will be new numbers but I'm still confused about what the article is saying. :( - Lindsay from FriendFeed MT Plugin
