On this topic, what's a good Google voice alternative? Something for business that will ring my cell phone. Preferably a 1-800 # with answering ability and phone tree capability.

I've enjoyed using Twilio (http://www.twilio.com)
Hum, is Twilio more for integrating voice servies with an app? I'm looking for something stand-alone.
Full disclosure: I work at SendHub

SendHub (https://sendhub.com) will give you a virtual business line (SMS+Voice) for free that you can access from the web or from your iPhone/iPad/Android device.

I know we support 1-800 numbers on paid plans, just hop on support chat and they will take care of you.

You guys should make a "Google Voice replacement" plan that is just one line and no grouping but more generous with texts & minutes. I'd pay for it but you guys don't have a plan that is anywhere near this model.
SendHub team - I'd try to get the developer behind GrowlVoice (http://www.growlvoice.com) to support your service or come up with simular Menu Bar interface. It's been one of the most popular paid apps in the Mac App Store for a long time. They provide best way to quickly interface with GV from your Menu Bar on your Mac.
Does it work with Canadian area codes?
Try it out - some parts of Canada are supported.
Thanks - that's the sort of thing I'm looking for.
RingCentral is a good paid alternative.
