The Composer, I am not seeing anything in my inbox. It may be that it is just taking a while to get here…

Thank you for the invite!

**TheManTwo** , your email address is bouncing. Is your spam filter rejecting messages from SDMB?

I used “TheManTwo at excite dot com”

Damn!! Looks like it’s not available outside of the US right now and Google is tracking IPs. Hope that invite is good in three years. . .

Login remotely through a US based machine, and get a friend in the US to take the incoming activation phone call.

That’s what I did, and I’m in India. Once activated, you can login and use the service from your local machine.

At the risk of looking like an AOL user saying “ME TOO!” on Usenet in 1997, I’d be interested in an invite as well.

That is strange… I am able to receive email from the SDMB. At least I received the confirmation when I signed up. I also sent a test email from another email account and that went though.

Could somebody else try? TheManTwo[AT]excite[DOT]com

Thanks, **gardentraveler**. I’ve signed up!

This is my new cell phone, if not my main number. I have family call-ins twice a week that keep me stuck at home or worrying that they won’t try my cell phone. This solves the problem.

GrandCentral looks great! I’m very grateful to the Dopers in this thread for bringing it to my attention. I had no idea this existed!

If someone could shoot me an invite, I’d be very, very grateful. My address is in my profile.

**The Composer** , I went though my SDMB options and “Receive Email from Other Members” was not checked. It is now, so that could have been the problem. I also completely turned off my spam filter.

Ok if you need a grand central invite I have 5 I can send. To get an invite from me reply with the words MannyL Invite #x where x is one higher than the prior person to ask me.

The first person will use MannyL Invite 1. I’ll send the invite to your registered address
