Ok, when I didn't answer the home phone, after about 30 seconds I got a voicemail on my cell. All I heard was a ring, one time.

My home phone got a voicemail too but it's that automated voice from Google that, if I didn't know that I was doing this, would confuse me.

Okay, so it seems it doesn't ring them all at once, it must try one then the next. That would make sense.

This is nice: Tip: Share a voicemail by emailing it to any email address through the "More" menu.

Well, you can have it set to ring just one (which I do) or add phones. I'm not sure why it rang my home phone after I ignored the cell.

But then I thought about it and decided that I wouldn't be ignoring my cellphone if I was the one making the call..duh! So then that confusion of the voicemail wouldn't be a problem.

Looks like a tie in for Google Android phones ? Looks like a nice supplement if you have standard cell phone service like I do , real basic service

But ?
Doesn't smart phones like iPhone/mobleMe and Blackberries/Exchance , already do most of that stuff ? I dunno I don't have one

I don't think they do everything like this.

I just got the invitation and completed my set up, giving my home number. I figure i can check my home voicemail toll free when I'm on the road.

You got one? They don't like me.

i've had it since last week. i had my wife call me and had my cell phone and home phone assigned . . . they both rang. i answered with my cell and it stopped ringing on the home phone.

you can also press 4 during a call to record the conversation. this is nice if someone is giving you info (e.g., a phone number). something else i like is that when my wife and i finished, i could look up our conversation and see the date and time of the conversation. it had her name (since i had an extension address book already in Google for Gmail, i guess) and number and the length of our call.

i am going to start using this number full time when folks ask for it.

i like that you can choose the number you want. i think i spent 20 minutes finding one that would be easy to remember. i noticed that one prefix available in my area was 843. that spells THE. when i lived in Lawrence, Kansas i had a phone number that was 843-2378 -- THE-BEST. unfortunately, all 843 prefixes started the next for digits with a 1 and 1 doesn't have a letter assigned. so i picked something else. ah well.
