The point is, I know there is at least this number that is available and not in use. However, apparently it cannot be utilized by either MJ or GV when I go looking for a number.

For our local telephone company, they hold off re-issuing discontinued numbers for about 6 months. My guess is to give ...

Ummmm... a couple of stockholders, huh. Just my luck.

...oh, you're too smart for me.

....Obviously, it's a personal decision to give up on Google Voice because you can't get a local area code, but based on the cost of entry, I would at least sign up. You could always forward your local numbers to it to enjoy some of the features.

From the reviews I read, Google Voice has some great features. However, if the Area Code that you need is NOT available from GV, then none of those features are going to do you a damn bit of good.

And, it appears if the Area Code you need is not available, it will not ever be available.

I'm happy ...

Guess I have a basic misunderstanding of how Area Codes that are Not Available today; might ever become available in the future.

Iowa has a total of 5 area codes. If you go to the list that MJ shows for Available Area Codes (Dec 3, 2009 Version), it only lists 4 of them. Naturally, the one I need ...

Google voice invites can be bought on ebay for a little more than a dollar. I paid $1.30 for 1 for my daughter.

I bought an Invite for $1.04, and of course when I tried to get a 641 area code, found that none were available.

So.... right back where I started, with no way for locals to use my MJ ...

Mine came in a week and a half.

Thanks for the tip.... yes, I have registered there, but no invite showed up. I can't remember when I registered, so perhaps it hasn't been long enough yet.

I'm trying to solve the issue with my MJ, where my area code is not supported.

Would anyone have a Google Voice Invitation that I could use?

Thanks much!!!

Are you sure??? Last I heard there were still GV #'s. IF NOT, maybe someone here has an extra GV invite they can give to you. I know I had an extra one and gave it to someone and she loves it.

Maybe make a new topic asking ( nicely of course) if anyone has an extra GV invite, can't hurt right ...

Maybe Google Voice has that area code for you ( it's free) and then you can have people dial the Google voice number and have your MJ ring.
Just a work around till if/when MJ gets your area code.

Well, perhaps Google Voice would have that area code, but I have NO WAY to get Google Voice ...

There are 5 total Area Codes in the State of Iowa. Why would MJ only provide 4 of them and not the 641 area code?

I keep hearing it is coming, it is coming... but it never comes. :cry:

Please add the 5th area code to cover a large portion of Central IA (641). There are lots of people like myself ...
