Google Voice (GV) is an application from Google where you get a phone number that you choose in your area code (if you wish). You can then list up to 6 phones that will ring when that one number is called - plus it does a lot of other really cool things. You can sign up for an invitation to join. At this time it is available in the US only. Anyway, there was an app on the iTunes app store for GV that AT&T made Apple pull because AT&T said it was in competition - even though there are plenty of other apps out there that do similar things. It is a big controversy and
Big Brotheris looking into it. Check it out on Safari. I have it, and it's great - especially in an emergency. It also makes it unnecessary to call forward - just add the new number to your list of numbers called by that central number.
