Google Fiber launched more than three years ago with gigabit Internet and TV, but not phone service.

Now, Google might finally be adding a VoIP phone component in order to duplicate the "triple-play" bundle offered by many ISPs. The Washington Post reported today that Google is sending invitations to try a new home phone service to members of its "Fiber Trusted Tester" program.

"Our latest offering is Google Fiber Phone, which gives you the chance to add home phone service to your current Fiber service plan," the invitation said. (See the full invitation here.)
