Google Voice is amazing. We’ve been using it for about 2 years now and not sure how to live without it. You get one number to give out. That number will ring any of your predefined other numbers.

Privacy concerns? A bit creepy some might say. However, each person you choose to share with has to accept your invitation. Even after that, at anytime you can turn location sharing on or off:
