@Kosmo- Take a look at Jim’s comment, as he explains it well (thanks, Jim). As Jim explains, you only get one number per account. it is really a “virtual number” that isn’t tied to any particular phone. Also, outgoing calls aren’t as easy as hitting a speed dial number, unfortunately, because you don’t actually initiate a call by just dialing a number. My post mentions it in more detail, but you either have to call your own number to get a menu option (after which you then dial the number), or you initiate the call by using your computer to tell GV to call you (your phone will ring, and when you answer you get a message something like “please wait while we now connect your call), and then call the other person, and connect you. So GV has a long way to go before it is an easy outgoing call solution.

@Todd- I’m in the same boat you are. My wife and Bobby (the new writer here at 40Tech) are the only ones with my GV # right now, and I picked a number that would be easy for her to remember. I want to test it out a bit on a limited basis before rolling it to everyone. The two biggest glitches I’ve seen so far is that you can’t configure the number of rings before a call goes to VM (problem for me because my work VM is not configurable either, and picks up first unless I have Call Presentation turned on), and just today I discovered that if I mute an incoming call on my iPhone (push the volume rocker down), the call goes to my iPhone’s voicemail.

@aery and Ruchi – I should have mentioned that- unfortunately, Google Voice is U.S. only. Let’s hope it gets rolled out on a wider basis.
