This mystifies me in that it looks like Google Voice has been active for a year (invite only), then they open it up, and I try to do the most basic thing (enter a number, call it) and it doesn't work.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying Google Voice for the first time. When I add a contact with a phone number and then when I click &quot;Connect&quot; , there is a pink box saying &quot;Invalid number&quot;. I've tried 3 numbers, all of which I know are good, with the same result. If I go to Settings -&gt; Voice Settings, there are 2 tabs, Billing and Account, neither of which are of any help.<br />
<br />
What can I do to get call these numbers?<br />

Google Voice: Invalid number

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
