« on: October 26, 2011, 03:36:29 PM »
I have google voice on my computer that has a number that i picked. When s/o calls that number it calls my computer and my husbands cell phone cus he has a virtual american number on his israeli cell phone, and i linked my google voice number to his phone. My question is if anyone would know whats the next best step to get the phone calls on a house number in israel (an israeli number) is that at all possible to get the google voice number attached to an out of country number? my goal is to get phone calls on a house phone in israel without getting vonage or the such...

I've found the cheapest way is to use rebtel.com or jajah.com (depends on the rates to your specific country). They both provide you with a direct us number that can be dialed from a phone that is on the account (i.e. gv).

So just set that direct dial number as a forwarding number in gv and it will connect your call for you :)

The second link is the same service as Bahyaman has suggested. Skype charges as low as 1.2 cents per minute. (Obi would be totally free, and since you want to keep your Israeli line I would recommend the 110)
