I use Grandcentral. If you give out a grandcentral number to everyone you can 
forward it to mulitiple phones, or to single phone and change which number it 
forwards to whenever you like. While your gone forward to your cell and when 
you get back change forwarding number to home phone again. This is nice because 
if you move residence you still use grandcentral as the number and forward to 
the new phone.

It's been very reliable. I use grandcentral paired with gizmo on PBX-in-a-Flash 
from nervittles, to provide a separate free number (VOIP) for my step daughter 
that goes to her room. All the phone calls every evening were bugging me and 
now they can talk all they want (incoming is free, outgoing is cheap via 
Callcentric & Les.net)

US for 2 weeks and then Austia for a week.  Right now I have a
Canadian cell phone.  So I plan on getting prepaid SIM cards for the
US and Austria so I don't have to pay roaming charges.  But this
introduces the problem of letting people know my new numbers.  Instead
of spamming my new numbers to all my contacts I'm looking for a more
elegant solution.

One way would be to record a voicemail greeting on my Canadian cell
saying that I'm traveling and list my new number.  But I think there
could be a better solution.  My dream solution would be to have calls
made to my Canadian cell number automatically routed to whatever
prepaid card number I am currently using.  Since I am going to be
taking the Canadian SIM out of the phone to swap in the prepaid it
needs to work without the actual phone being on.

I've heard a lot about GrandCentral and was wondering if anyone on the
list had experience with it:

Can anyone think of another way to solve my little dilemma?
