How can I open a Gmail account?

IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. Is it like, limited to the elite who found out about it when it first came out or something?
How can I open a Gmail account?
Google is distributing invites to people with cell phones that have SMS capabilities and only in certain countries, United States being one of them. However, if you don't have a cell phone that receives text messaging (SMS) or don't know anyone who already has a Google Mail account who can send you an invite code, there are sites that offer free invites.





Check your more popular search engines and look for "Google Mail Invite Code". You'll be surprise with the amount of available sites offering invite codes.





e.g. http://www.highwayman.org/gmail is such a site that offers Google Mail invites.
Reply:I first got my Gmail account by signing up with a "newsletter" with Google asking if I was interested in getting a Gmail account. After several months, I was surprised one day by an invitation to join Gmail from the Google Team :D %26gt;.%26lt; But I think that only was for the beginning.





Other ways of getting a Gmail account are signing up through your cell phone, or getting an invitation from somebody who already has a Gmail account. This is used to verify that the people creating Gmail accounts are real people, and not bots or spammers.





For more information, you can go to Gmail.com ;D

Reply:If you know anyone with a Gmail account, after sometime they will be granted invitations, so you should let them know you would like one so that they send you one when they get them.
Reply:No, no, no. Go to www.gmail.com and sign up.
