I had been thinking of renting out a condo of mine. The catch is that I have an out-of-area cell phone number and want potential tenants to be able to make a local call. I'd gladly pay even $20 or $30 to buy another line on my GV account in another area code.

In the meantime I've been playing a bit with Twilio's OpenVBX and maybe I might just use it to create a number with recorded information about the place and an option to leave me a message.

Until we can forward a GV line to another GV line and do that 10-20 times, so that when the FBI/CIA/NSA is trying to trace a call the guy in the computer room keeps shouting "He's in Berlin! No wait, he's in Detroit! Now he's in Boston...the bastard is routing his call through multiple cities!" it will be useless to many.
