Google Voice Works With Alberta Numbers?

Apparently using an Alberta area code will allow you to activate google voice. If true, this means that google voice should work fully in Alberta. Can any other Albertans confirm?
From an anonymous comment poster on one of the other entries on wifitalk.ca as to how to activate google voice:
“Pick a US phone number.
Tie it to a Alberta (403) phone number. Use a friend’s if you are not from Alberta to give the security numbers.
It works.”
Update: Several people have now confirmed that area code 403 does in fact work with google voice. Lucky Albertans.
Everyone knows that Southern Alberta wants to join the United States anyway… foreshadowing? Methinks so…
Confirmed. But, cannot activate Google Voicemail for the 403 phone.
Does this work in the other half of Alberta with the 780 area code/
Doesn’t work with 780.. just 403.
Has anybody confirmed the 587 area code too?
damn it’s good to be in oil country….

403 is no longer working with google voice! if you were lucky enough to validate in the system, it stil holds and works but new accounts cannot be added!!!
