I mean, sure having a second number is useful... but using your cell phone minutes? Why wouldn't someone just use Skype or the new Vonage app and use your 6GB data bucket (or, even better, WiFi), and still get all the same benefits?
I must be missing something here, since there were a lot of people upset about it being denied...
