Once GrandCentral became Google Voice, that's the number I used from then on. You can set the number to go nowhere at all. You can set the number to only forward during business hours. You can set it to do different things, depending on the number that calls you... However.. I don't pick up my phone anyway. I don't have a phone so people can call me. I have a phone so I can call people. :D The only phone calls I answer are from close friends and from clients that I'm currently working on a project with. Everybody else can leave a message.. Even though I never check them, like you just mentioned. If you don't email me, you're not getting a reply at all. Also.. You'd better hope that you're not already in my junk mail filter. People that like to send spam get relegated to junk mail and I never see them at all. In fact, I currently have 3,320 unread FACEBOOK messages. I don't know who these people are that have time to be randomly talking to people, but I'm not one of them. Hey Kenya! :D

I recently did that and wished I hadn't though; that dude was texting me all day. I'm not a texter (not from my phone anyway). I am some level of digital snob too. Just this weekend my iPhone voicemail was full and I deleted ALL of the messages without listening to them. I connected my Google Voice VM up to it so now I can read people's messages should they choose to leave one. As far as folks who won't join Facebook, when you get Facebook Messages give them that email address and call it a day. What about giving out the Google Voice number for people who like to text?
