Anyone else have ideas for something even simpler? My Ooma Premier renews early November.

ETA: It looks like OneSuite, recommended a couple of times downstream in an earlier thread of mine,
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...fferent-s.html , might be the way to go for cheaper (and a much easier interface than the scary looking one recommended by several on that thread):

1) Port main Ooma # to One Suite.
2) Set up OneSuite to forward to cell phone.
3) Test
4) Drop Ooma Premier but still have the free Ooma

ETAA: After further checking, it looks like call forwarding with OneSuite is $.025/minute to USA #s. Was hoping for a solution with a no per-minute charge.

AETAA: Maybe just keeping the Ooma Premier for $11/month is the simplest
Was going to chime here, but seems you got it straight.. while I like onesuite a lot for many different things, it's not really free and forwarding isn't either.. it's great in a pinch when traveling int'l for destination phones and the like, or having a simply 800# for people to call, but I think you're looking for free, right?
