It seems like Google has changed their minds about people having to use their cell phones or get a invitation to open a Google Gmail account.
Effective immediately Gmail is open to everyone. I think this is a great idea since the original option of having to use a cell phone turned a lot of people off. So it seems that policy has been terminated and anyone and everyone can now sign up for a Free account with over 2G of mail space ready to use.
And Gmail provides a very effective spam filter along with being able to use Gmail as a pop3 account as well, so you can receive your mail through most of the popular email software programs, such as Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird and so forth. A help section on the Gmail site will provide you with the information on how to set up this type of a account.
Gmail is great to use as a alternative address for signing in to websites that may spam your ISP mail account. Plus you can check your Gmail account from any computer through out the world. Get yours at gmail.com.
Enjoy.
