trade google wave for google voice

It is telling me to choose between getting vm for an existing number or to create a new number. It says:

If you haven't already heard about it, Google Voice is a free service that makes using your phone much better!

You can either use Google Voice with your existing mobile phone number and get:
  • Voicemail like email, with automatic transcriptions sent via email and SMS
  • Low cost international calls to the entire world
  • Custom voicemail greetings based on who is calling
OR choose a new Google phone number to get these additional features:

  • One phone number that rings all your phones
  • The ability to send and receive SMS messages via email
  • Spam filter to block unwanted callers

I chose a new Google number and I have SMS, Voice Mail, and all kinds of other stuff.

If someone calls my Google number, it goes directly too my cell.

That is all it really does.

That way you can have a different number you give out to clients and another number you can give to your friends.
