Phone Service
You ask "Where should I get phone service for my toll free number"? A great question. Haven't we come a long way from 1915, when this photo was taken in the good ole' USA. In addition to the major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and your local telephone carrier, below is a small list of Virtual phone companies. Known as VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) allows your internet connection to act as the phone lines. Check out the "Virtual Office" way of communication. Virtual Office is you connecting to the outside world through the internet...placing calls, receiving calls and voice mail, all online using a virtual phone companies control board. Similar to the way MagicJack, Ooma and Vonage technology work, only these companies are business quality. Many if not all of these virtual phone companies allow you to use your smart phone to connect to your Virtual Office. Really cool. Virtual phone companies start as little as $1 per month for basic phone service and about $10 per month for basic internet Virtual Office with about 300 minutes of incoming calls and about $35 per month for the full feature service, which does everything but make dinner!. Below we list just a few virtual phone companies and the internet has lots more. MAKE SURE that once you transfer your number to the phone company of your choice, their TOS (terms of service) do not allow them to keep your toll free number. Some companies will do that. Ask if they will waive any setup fee. 800 LogicCor chooses NOT receive any referral fees from any phone company, thereby serving you with an unbiased point of view.
