Be careful with pre-paid SIM's. When I was in Aruba, admittedly this was
in 2003, I was seeing US$1/min rates with them.
I don't think I've seen a pre-paid SIM in the USA.

I'm going to be spending the better part of a month traveling in the
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?
