What is gmail and how can one go about getting a gmail address?

There should be a link at www.gmail.com that allows you to get a gmail acct. by having them send you a text message with a verification code. If you input that code when prompted on the webpage it will allow you to create an acct.

google owned email address, and the only way you can get one now is my getting an invitation from another member.
Reply:actually, all you need is a cell phone. An invitiation code is sent to your cell phone to activate your gmail account after you sign up. It's actually a pretty good email system they have set up.
Reply:someone who has gmail already needs to invite you. It's e-mail made by google.
Reply:g-mail is an e-mail service provided by Google. It used to be that you could just sign up for it for free, but now you have to be "invited" by someone who has an account.


Whoops, I was wrong. See the 2nd link.
Reply:It's a google email address %26amp; the only way (from what I've been told) to get one is by getting an invitation link from someone whom already has an account.
Reply:It is an e-mail service owned by Google. It is better in many ways. You can research it on their website. I have an account with them because my daughter gave me an invitation. That is the only way you can get an acct with them--you have to know someone with an acct first then they invite you.
Reply:If you send me your email address AND if I still have any invites left at that time, I'll send you an invite. But if you don't hear from me, it means I already gave away all my invites.
Reply:gmail is provided by google.com, you can get gmail by giving them your cell phone number and they text you an activation code. or you can have someone who has gmail invite you. Its like yahoo mail, I like yahoo better.
Reply:gmail is mail site by gooogle jus like yahoo mail for yahoo. u need 2 recieve an invitation frm n already existing gmail member. i hav it. if u want it let me knw.
Reply:It is Google's version of web mail just like Yahoo. One thing that is nice is that the pop access is free so it can be used in a regular mail program. It is by invitation only. Check at mail.google.com or ask a friend who has it.
