It's still in beta - I think until recently, it was only open to Grand Central users.

They're going to have a challenge with supply and demand on numbers.

The FCC has some very anal retentive rules about number management, and the pool of available numbers are VERY tight in areas like LA and NYC in particular. There's also some challenges they have to deal with in terms of e911 calling and location.

So look for them to scale this slowly.

Our mia ffn Richard Bush has it and uses it much same way cleo does. It offers a number that is totally location and device independent and unlike most voip providers, you can protect your device's native number on outbound calls.

It's a very nice vision for voip, and I think other providers and even cell providers will follow suit.

AT&T apparently feels threatened by it, they google voice apps from the iPhone yesterday.
