Google Voice (née GrandCentral) also has the phone number indirection-layer feature. It's a product and not a developer tool, so it lacks some of the more advanced features (eg command line access), but it's far more accessible to non-developers.

Google's uses Google Voice as part of GoogleFi, so hopeful it won't be killed off any time soon.

I use Google Voice for just voicemail.

Similar to what the parents does, I use "conditional call forwarding" to send all non-answered calls to Google Voice. When I get a voicemail, GVoice then sends me a transcription of the message.
