Actually, I use Google Voice as my main phone number. I don't even want to give _that_ out -- so same exact problem for me. <shrug> Selective blocking is only a partial solution; your number is still "out there".

Well, that is why I built the app, anyway =)

Something neat about just being able to "buy" an extra number from the market.

As someone who also uses GV as a "real" number, I love the option to flush your number and get a new one. It's like the voice equivalent of "cleaning house" on social networking sites.
