	So far I've just played with it a few times. It will be very
	useful for those times I'm buried deep inside a boiler/mech
	room with no cell signal and wifi onsite. Having to run in
	and out trying to troubleshoot a piece of equipment over the
	phone with the manufacturer can get frustrating. Not so much
	saving on wifi minutes for me though. I am considering buying
	a call in number though, and having it forwarded. Any
	thoughts, (dis)recommendations, etc for providers? I'll need
	to find out if that gets a listing in the phonebook too. It
	would be very handy to have only one number and forward my calls
	to whichever handset I may have. Is anybody currently
	using such a setup that could point me in a direction? I
	would like to integrate it with an alpha numeric pager I
	have as well. Currently I get paged by the voicemail system
	when a caller marks their message urgent.  That lets me keep
	my pager number semi private, but still allows callers to
	page me w/o making another call.
   
Best Regards,
