I don't know if you're anything like me, but I live off my cell phone. Both for my personal use, as well as both my businesses. But I've always had the dilemma of how to answer the phone. If I answer with my name, people aren't sure if they've reached the business they wanted, and it doesn't sound very professional. I never wanted the additional expense of a separate cell phone or a home phone simply for a new number.
But yesterday, I just found the coolest solution! Kall8 will provide you with a toll-free or local number, and you can choose to have it ring to the phone you already have. And it only costs $2 a month ($5 for a local number).
You can set it so your caller id shows your tollfree number so you know which business people are calling for, and answer correctly. You can even add another $2 per month service that will give you a recorded announcement when you answer the phone, again so you know which business they're trying to reach.
Calls are only about 7 cents a minute, and you can receive voicemail and faxes all as part of your $2 monthly fee. This is exactly what I've been looking for!!
Don't worry, this is not a sales spam, or an affiliate link (though if you really want me to get a referral credit, you can enter my tollfree number when you sign up). I just struggled with this phone issue for so long, I was really excited when I found this company.
Being virtual, having a toll free number is a bonus for my clients, as I'm saving them a few cents any time they need to reach me. And now I can always come across completely professional when answering my cell phone, no matter where I am. Hope this helps someone else as much as it helped me!
