Seraphina wanted me to tell you guys about Grand Central (now owned by Google), which I've been using for a little while. Well, I'll just post what they say.
GrandCentral.com
******************
What is GrandCentral?
Get all the same calls, but in a whole new way.
GrandCentral doesn't replace your phones; we just link them together and help them do more. How do we do that? We give people One Number...for Life - a number that's not tied to a phone or a location - but tied to you.
With GrandCentral, you can be reached with a single number, answer a call at any phone you want, seamlessly switch phones in the middle of a call, and even know whether a call is important before you take it.
What else can I do with GrandCentral?
We're not your typical phone company. And these aren't your typical features.
* Check your messages by phone, email, or online
* Keep all your messages online for eternity (second favorite)
* Record and store your phone calls (just like voicemail)
* Quickly (and secretly) block an annoying caller
* Click-to-dial from your address book
* Surprise your callers with a custom voicemail greeting
* Forward, download, and add notes to your messages (my favorite)
***************
One thing I thought was cool, was the feature below, they call it WebCall. Basically with the link below, you would put YOUR phone number in and click call. GrandCentral will call you, then call me. You never know what my phone number is. (You can call me if you want, but I won't know what to talk about.)
(Well, embedding flash is disabled.)
I think I can invite people, but also you can go to GrandCentral.com and reserve your own number.
