Here's a (not new) virtual phone service that is now offering their service for free - at least up to the 1st 200 minutes:

"If you sign-up for Phonebooth Free you get a free local phone number for up to five users and 200 inbound minutes a month. Every additional minute is 6¢, which is about the industry standard.
Phonebooth Free includes an auto-attendant so that you can have number-based redirection to go to other employees or users. And like Google Voice, you can set-up call forwarding to forward to one or multiple cellular phones based on rules that you set.
Phonebooth Free also includes support for something called Contact Us Plus, which is a dynamic widget that you can put on your website that offers up contact information (including click-to-call), plus other business contact info like e-mail, Twitter links and a Google Map with your company’s location."
Full disclosure: this is a local company (for me) and they approached me about helping with their launch at SxSW, and I have not been compensated for sharing, other than one beer at a tweetup they hosted. :cool: I certainly think it's valuable for the 4HWW set, which is why I am posting this. What do you think? :)
Edit: it's US only for now, but they are working on expanding.
