Thank you. Most of what is discussed is how to have the call sent to any phone, but this feature, pretty much treated in passing by this and other articles, seems pretty kind of major to me.

Sorry, couldn't reply until now. Digg's captcha for replying to replies didn't work until now... Apparently, Google Voice has a hole with the 403 area code (Calgary and southern Alberta)... according to <a class="user" href="http://www.wifitalk.ca/?p=177" rel="nofollow">http://www.wifitalk.ca/?p=177</a>I have a VOIP DID from work that is 403 and I was able to verify my number where it's forwarded to my 647 cell phone. However, I did discover the problem with the BB and iPhone apps not working is because it's some caller ID thing that it can't be verified. It still works on the GV web site though.
