Also, the paid transcription they have is much much MUCH better than what is offered by Google Voice... (disclaimer: I actually use PhoneTag still, not YouMail, but both PhoneTag and YouMail have assured me that YouMail's new transcription feature uses PhoneTag's backend, due to their partnership to provide this service).

Is there a good alternative to Google Voice? I want an online voicemail service and call forwarding for when I travel.
I use Youmail for voicemail and have been really happy with it. I pay the $20/year or whatever it is for a paid account.

I've been happy with Youmail's free and paid services. I paid when I needed voicemail transcriptions. Right now I'm using the free voicemail service.

I self-host openvbx which is a pretty nice application running on the twillio.com service.
OpenVBX looks quite good.
