A quick glance just now tells me: 1. Go to settings, groups, add 1 or more people to a group and then choose which phones ring. 2. Go to settings, phones, then choose 'advanced settings' and you'll see params for setting what times which phones will ring. 3. Not sure, maybe it isn't actually sequential. @Dave- you gotta look closer. A quick glance just now tells me:

Like the free calling in USA. Like the call screening, blocking, and ability to conceal my home number. But I have not figured out how to do 1,2,3 below, as you mentioned. 1) "You set the service up to forward calls to your various phones based on rules." - I've not figured out where to set up the rules. 2) You can have it ring through to your office landline during business hours. 3) It can ring through sequentially to each phone you have until you pick one up, or go to voicemail. - Google voice only seems to ring all of my phones at once, not sequentially.

And even more sinister, I sometimes see the vmail go to GrandCentral, over which I no longer have any control over! @jason- true.
