Don't care about any of the features listed on the front page. GV does those fine, and I don't find them useful, anyway.

I do care about: ringing multiple phones, being able to receive/respond to group MMS, and integrating with Hangouts. Obviously the last one is impossible.

Coincidentally, Google just announced a Hangouts update that fixes my MMS issue.

So I can't see any reason GV is inadequate, and it's also created/maintained by a large company that I know won't be dead in 6 months.

True. But AFAIK GV is limited to US numbers. Roamad allows you to provision numbers globally. As someone who travels a lot that's important to me. Gmail like filtering is something I care about for my phone calls.

I understand spam filtering, but I'm curious what "Gmail-like" filtering means. Meaning different voicemail messages or screening settings for different callers?

Yea, different VM messages and screening settings for different numbers or callers. I've been using it to filter calls on an overseas number that reaches me only at certain times of the day.
