So if you are at your home or work and have them set up as well, you can opt to pick up a landline instead of the cell. You can retrieve voicemail via a web browser, so just use the one on your phone. The execution isn't always perfect which is why I've not given everyone my number, just a few. Unfortunately after Google bought them, there hasn't been much of anything in the way of news, new features, etc., but it still works and it doesn't look like it's going away...

The problem with that is, I've been on their "waiting list" for over a year now, and not a peep as to letting more people in. That's great that it works "all right", but if no one new can get in, it's not much use to the majority of us.
/not envious at all of not getting an invite when they were like candy, nor a new batch from Google themselves.
Edit: Argh! Coz beat me to it.
