Pseudo-related, yet does anyone know of a good replacement for Google Voice? I've heard Asterisk is good software to look into, yet ideally I'm looking for a way to self-host or cheaply have a standard phone number which can send SMS and call normal phones, from multiple devices, ideally with a web interface.

You'll probably need a SIP provider. I just spent 4 days setting up VICIDial and Asterix as a complete noob; can probably definitively say it's not a replacement for GVoice

Google Fi can do most of the things Voice could, certainly I can call or send SMS from any device.
