US number route to EU mobile phone
presumably a dumb question, but if i want to be able to have people call a "local" US number (free for them) and have that forward to a mobile phone i use in EU, what kind of options might that include?

There are multiple ways, from simple call-forwarding to an international number, if your US phone service or VOIP-type provider allow for it, to forwarding to a VOIP-type app number if your in-EU phone has cheap, reliable high bandwidth data.

I go more for something close to the latter when I can -- as it tends to be cheaper for me.

US phone/Google Voice forwarding to Skype-In seems to be pretty reliable if data is not an issue.

I use Kall8 gives a 800 type number and I have it on my business card if clients need to get a hold of me when I am overseas. The ones above are good options as there are many companies that have this service.
