That is one reason why I converted my cell phone number which I have since nearly 15 Years to Google voice. It allows me to get to my text messages and voice mails via any web browser from anywhere in the world. In addition I can place international calls for $0.02 using any phone I want to and I can route my incoming calls anywhere I want to.
I do not have to give out my real cell or home phone number at all by using Google voice. The only drawback is the fact most of the features are tied into a Google account and a MMS is split out to the Google e-mail address because the Google SMS service can not handle messages with an attachment (MMS). The beauty is I can always ise the cheapest month by month rate and plan and even have my home phone ring on the same number.
