I use google voice in a different capacity. The number tied to GV is the one I give out. I can then tell GV where to send that call to, so it acts as a router. I also keep most of my friends and colleagues in my address book, where I put them in a group of GV and customize the response. So when I'm willing to accept calls from family, but not friends, I just set it up like that and give some custom voicemails to the groups in question. I have the GV android app, but use it mainly to manage my voicemails more effectively than verizon's normal voicemail system.
