What I'd like is to be able to forward my business cell phone to a USA based #, and then have that line ring on a travel cell over 3G/wifi VOIP. Basically I want people to be able to call the # they have for me locally in the USA and then have that ring my phone wherever I am, but not pay very much to talk. Also, I'd like to keep the same forwarding #, so every time I travel, it's a simple fix.

I'm thinking my best bet may be to buy a USA-based Skype # and then forward my calls to that. Then when I land, I get a local SIM and my calls will be forwarded to my mobile via Skype app.

2 Questions:

1. Is there a better option?

I know I could just get a local SIM, call Verizon and then have the calls forwarded to my "new" foreign number and it would be seamless, but then I have to pay for international calling on my home line. Given that I own the business, I don't want to pay for this.

2. Does Skype have voicemail? I'll want to be able to return calls I get while I'm in transit or sleeping.
