If people call me on the GV number, it goes to my cell, which burns up "out of network" minutes. I try to keep my minutes to the lowest plan possible. Anyone come up with a way to overcome this obstacle? I have a Google Voice number, but have been hesitant to use it.

All calls go to voicemail, where they are captured, transcribed (poorly), and forwarded to our Zendesk support software as new requests so our support team can handle them appropriately. Personally, I use GV in its traditional form. No hacking or special routing. It integrates pretty seamlessly with Android (Nexus One), so it feels like a normal phone service for me.
