Which annoys the hell out of me, since they insist on getting a phone number to sign up for gmail now - but while I have plenty of credit cards, I do not have a phone.

There are quite a lot of free VOIP providers who will just give you a real phone number which you can use for incoming calls for free. Might be worth getting one of those and pointing a soft client at it when you want to be able to take calls.
Thanks for the suggestion. I used to have a Skype number, but dropped it since I was only ever using skype-skype calls or calling numbers myself with it. If there's a free option out there, sounds good to me.
I'll probably get an Android phone sometime soon enough, though. But I tell myself that the longer I wait, the more advanced it will be!
