I suppose call hunt would work for some applications, but for me it just isn't practical. By the time the home phone rings ~4 times, then the first cellphone rings ~4 times, then the second cell rings, the caller has given up. And shortening the ring cycle per phone won't work for us either, because it frequently can take us 4 rings to get to the phone for various reasons.

Yes, 1 +2 would work for us, but I fully understand others may need more than that. 1 +2 would allow me to dump Google Voice.

On the other hand, since Google just bought Gizmo5 (and I already have a Gizmo5 account ), there's always the chance GV will come out with it's own VOIP service. Right now I'm just looking for a solution that best meets my needs via one service provider.
