I don't know if this has been mentioned but apparently the rumour has become a reality

restrictions apply but handy.

Just a FYI.

Interesting.

But why not just use your mobile phone as a forwarding number instead? (something I have yet to do by the way)

Seems like you would get the same results without losing some of the extra features that this will be restricting you to.

Anyway, thanks for finding that.

thanks a lot! i hope the option to port landline #s isn't far behind.
