The question arose earlier that only Googlemail is available to the EU.
I live in France, when I signed to GMail, I gave my location as the USA on the application. Et voila - I have a GMail account, should work in the UK too!;)0 -
oops - Myosin - did you read this thread? As said earlier, if you use @gmail.com it works absolutely fine. I have 2 gmail addresses and I only ever use the address xx@gmail.com but it works fine.0

Tried both links gmail & googlemail.com but the message that came up both times was:
We are sorry. This invitation is not valid. We monitor invitations to protect our users and to prevent abuse. If you would like to sign up for Google Mail, you can now do so using your mobile phone. Click here to sign up (US only). Otherwise, please ask a friend with an account to invite you directly.0 -
Hi, I received my weekly newsletter and was interested in signing up for this new gmail account and have followed the link as above and filled in all my details etc.. but it has come up with the following:-
'We're sorry. This invitation is not valid. We monitor invitations to protect our users and to prevent abuse. If you'd like to sign up for Google Mail, you can now do so using your mobile phone. Click here to sign up (US only). Otherwise, please ask a friend with an account to invite you directly.'
I don't know what I have done wrong (not good at all this stuff). Any advice anyone??
Many thanks.0 -

Another lovely thing about the Spam file on gmail is that you always get a spam recipe at the top of the page containing your spam email!!0

I just signed up to gmail, there was a message saying i needed an invite so i closed the page and wasn't going to bother. I then opened a new internet page (google is my homepage) and in the corner of the page it said my google email address and i could access my account. So double check if you have had the 'need an invite' message as you may have created an account without realising!
Just tried sending an email to my gmail account but it wasn't delivered. I can sign in to my account in google mail but can't view mail it keeps giving me the invitation speech!0
