Port your business number to Google Voice. Then you can forward calls to it to any number (like your personal number, for now). No reason to pay for 2 numbers if you don't have to. Pay an extra $200? Sheet, that's pocket change. Its a no brainer. That's why the iPhone does relatively well in the US.

I'd stay away from Google Voice at all costs due to privacy issues. Those free Google Apps are only free because they eavesdrop on all your usage and market the data they harvest from the services you use. I ported my work phone number to Line2 to bring a second number into my iPhone and find it works really well. If you're using it as a business number and want to, you can turn it off and have your calls sent to voicemail when you don't want to be disturbed. It costs $100/year for a single line. Check it out.at: line2.com It will send you emails when you get voicemail, and have a link to click to listen to the voicemail from the email, or you can access the voicemail. It will also route your calls via VOIP using WiFi if you're in an area where cellphone coverage is weak but you have WiFi. I found this to be very useful in urban environments behind a lot of concrete. Let me know if you have any questions about how it works.
