Google Voice - Now Available only in US

Google introduces google voice.. It offers call forwarding , voice message, sms , call conferencing, international calls and much more features.
http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html site has the google voice features and usage in video format.

Up until now, if you wanted to use Google Voice, you needed to choose a new number (a "Google number"). Taking calls through your Google number allows us to offer features like call recording, call screening and getting text messages via email. But we know not everyone wants to switch to a new phone number, so it made sense for us to create a lighter version of Google Voice for people who are willing to trade some features for the ability to use their existing numbers.

But these are available now in US. If other country users try to login in google voice it shows the message that
Google Voice is currently available for GrandCentral users only.

Who are GrandCentral users?

      GrandCentral Communications, a company that provides services for managing your voice communications. Google acquires GrandCentral Communications. GrandCentral becomes more available to the world by connecting the invites to Blogger. If you're in the US, you can now get a free invite to GrandCentral, the Google service that centralizes all you phone numbers and adds new features as mentioned in the google voice website.  "GrandCentral provides an innovative web-based voice communications platform that helps you manage all your phones and phone numbers through one simple interface. You get a single phone number that forwards to all of your phones, giving you one number for life."

Hope google soon introduces these features in remaining countries..
