Want to know your Google Voice Number?

Google Voice is the long awaited re-release of Grand Central, an online voice communications service. Based on their beta, Google Voice will essentially be a Gmail for voicemails with call forwarding, filtering, SMS, VOIP, and speech to text.
They appear to be assigning Montana area code (406) phone numbers to folks who call or SMS a Google Voice user. I can only assume that the generated number will be your default Google Voice number if you eventually sign up.
If you would like to know your default Google Voice number, send an SMS to 206.855.5330. I’ll reply back to you with your number. Once established, you can start receiving calls at that number that are forwarded to your phone.
Disclaimer: I don’t know if the numbers are permanent, but they appear to keep working after at least two weeks.
