Super cheap phone line for your business

Chris, That could be very handy. Especially if you can do it for multiple phone numbers/phones.


Paul

Yes, I would like that too!

What about the voice quality and everything else? Do you really mean total 1.50$ per month? Nothing extra? I don't think that it could even cover their own costs! Is this a spam or anything like that?

For day to day I use Google voice.
It's cheap (free) and offers all the features I need. I can call/answer via phone or chat, screen calls, forward calls to any number(s), block calls, send to voice mail, personalize greetings depending on the caller, place click to call on my sites.

However I'm not foolish enough to rely on google completely, I still use Ringcentral for its virtual PBX system.

I must say $1.50 is a very good price for toll free. Is this price part of a package that includes a fixed number of minutes?

That's certainly a good and attractive option. But you find many countries are not allowing VOIP. I know some countries of Asia where Voip is illegal. Anyway, what's your opinion regarding voice quality and other such service. Are those nice enough to have a try?

wow you got a good price and it must be good to have that and making a tutorial about it is even better well good luck with everything

Hello Chris Thompson,

We use a dedicated number from skype. The service is good and very affordable. We have voicemail and can answer/ make phone calls with their app from our phone.

Best,

Skype and Google voice are good options. What I'm talking to about is buying a DID, which stands for direct inbound dialing. It is a phone number. Similar to buying a domain. You need to connect the number a calling plan just as you would connect a domain to hosting.

I pay about 1 cent per minute.

I can setup IVR (aka auto attendant, voice mail, etc).

Just like you can buy hosting and host multiple domains for the same price I can buy multiple phone numbers and connect them to one account, so I can have a different number for a different business with only an extra dollar or so in expense per month.

Sounds like enough people would find a tutorial valuable. I'll do it.

Chris Thompson would those numbers work on Craigslist?

I love that. thanks.

Yep, please show us how it's done....

Ok I'm planning a couple of videos to explain how all this works, but for now here is a very short version.

VoIP = Voice over Internet Protocol (Voice over IP). It used to be unreliable 10 years ago but now it's completely awesome (we all use skype, right? same concept).

Phone numbers are just pointers, just like domains. You can lease your own phone number for a monthly fee. The technical term is DID.

I use VoIP.ms for my dialing. Account setup is totally free.

My business partner is the guy who introduced me to these guys. Their service is completely fantastic.

So you go create an account and deposit some money ($25 will do) into your account with PayPal. Now you can go through their tutorials to learn how to setup a phone, voice mail, etc. But I'll do something that simplifies the explanation. That site is really built for geeks, and there is a lot of geek-speak to get past if you want to set it all up.

To make a call (and receive a call) you need either a regular phone + VoIP adapter, or you need a "softphone", which is a piece of software that acts like a phone.

There are free or paid versions of softphone software. Lots of them available for Android and iOS for smartphone users. And lots of desktop clients available.

For me, I use a voice adapter from Cisco / Linksys. The model is PAP2T and it's commonly available on Amazon. Not very expensive. Pretty easy to configure. Just took me about 10 minutes of following the online instructions to setup my regular phone into the adapter, and configure the adapter to "talk" to my VoIP account at VoIP.ms

Beyond that the feature set is huge. These guys only charge you for the actual voice use + your monthly DID fee ($1-1.50 per number, essentially).

I'm going to be switching my home phone over to this service too. To give you some perspective on price, I expect that my ALL IN price will be about $6-7 per month. We just don't use the phone that much. I'll pay $1.00 for a number and another few bucks for voice use. That's it.

SUPER cheap. As good as any other VoIP provider in terms of quality. If you've used Vonage you know what I mean.

right now I use kall8.net and pay 2-4 for an 800 number a month but also pay a per minute fee. I want to say 0.04-0.06 a min

Wow and my cell phone bill is $100 a month, perhaps I need to make some changes. That's cheap.

Chris, how do you use that so when people call you long distance you don't pay a large cost? Or even not long distance, but calling you and you have to pay for their calls (could be lots of sales calls, trolls, etc.)

I created the tutorial on how to do all of this here:
