There are some reasons for certain people. I'm planning on using it with
the phone line for our small Jewish congregation here in Victorville. I have
no way of getting notified when their Verizon landline rings or has a voice
mail message sent to it (and we're not big enough to have people employed
full time, and I'm the one tasked with checking voicemail). This is just one
example; I'm sure there are other good ones.

I'd like to have more than one number, though, like a Cleveland number in
addition to my Victorville number so I can be local to people back home who
want to call me. Maybe at some point they could offer that as an extra-cost
option.

Also, they mention free incoming minutes on phone calls to the GC numbers.
But they mention nothing about outgoing. Does this mean they're planning on
charging for the outgoing leg on each call??
