Today was the first time ive seen a 'sign up for Gmail' link on gmail.com . I suppose this means that they've finally opened it up for everyone - maybe its out of 'BETA' mode? Is this true of all countries, or just UK?
I can't view that page...it sends me to my inbox there, where I still have invites to give away. So I can see where the confusion comes from for anyone that didn't know it was public. But if it's public, then what are my invites for now? Q
The service [Google Mail] is no longer by invitation only. This welcome page shows an ever-increasing amount of storage available per user, currently about 2,815 MB Gmail
Not only did they open it a long time ago, but the counter has also been counting for a long time. =D
But its still need invitaion to signup google.com/accounts/SmsMailSignup1 sorry i dont have permission to post url
I cant even remember how i got my Gmail account. Someone must have recommended me but Ive only just started using it! Im getting abit nervous about using it though with all the reports of Google collection huge amounts of personal data about me!
yfs1, I do not remember if it's opened for public earlier, previously you need to have an invitation link to open a gmail account. Stevejohn, try this link and check if you see the signup button. I just came to acknowledge that it's in UK only(not sure)
These days Google knowing you visit porn sites is the least of your worries when it comes to data collection.
I remeber that I got mine from one forum wher everyone was posting the invitations. But allso remember people selling it for 50$ LOL
People selling GMail for $50 - man, I missed out on a trick there! I've got about 10 accounts, each with 100 invitations - so that could be $50,000 I could have made. If only I knew about the Digital Point BST forum back then!
Initially $50 was cheap on eBay Of course back then even if you had an account, it was rare to get any invites in it
