Small Business Phone Systems

Phone.com is a new virtual pbx (phone system) provider, and I’m recommending them as a solid “A+” provider.

I have met the CEO, and aside from being a great, reliable U.S. company with 24×7 support, they’re a great bunch of folks, as well.

At Phone.com, you can (in addition to a local number) get a ‘Vanity’ Toll Free number for your business. What this means: For a very small monthly fee, Phone.com provides you with a toll free number (Vanity toll free numbers require a one-time $25 set-up fee, but ‘regular’ toll-free numbers have no set-up fee). Then, when your customers call your new toll free #,  your existing home phone, cell phone, or office phone (or all 3!) can receive the call just as if they called your ‘regular’ number.

RingCentral, one of our #1 picks for a Small Business Phone system, is (for a limited time) offering 10% Off in addition to its Free Trial, AND if you want a TOLL FREE number, they’re still WAIVING the $15 set-up fee. If you have been considering getting a toll free number AND a very low-cost phone system and fax solution for your business, RingCentral does it all and is extremely reliable (read my review).

Still deciding which Virtual Small Business Phone System (or ‘Virtual PBX’) to purchase? The ever-trustworthy PC World magazine reviews them here.

I am VERY excited about this…

I have been using regular old Skype for a long time now, and have saved literally hundreds of dollars - perhaps thousands - on local and international phone calls made from me, at home, for my home-based business. (You can read my Skype review here). I have found Skype to be reliable and cheap as a standalone phone service.

Now Skype has introduced PrettyMay Call Center for Skype (PMCCS) (goofy name!) . It’s a Virtual PBX that you set-up on your PC in just 10 minutes! (But it will still work with your PC turned off). You and your employees have to have Skype installed to use it (in other words, it’s a PBX that works in conjunction with SkypeIn, SkypeOut, etc You Pay $150 for the PBX - That’s ALL (other than your regular low, low Skype Charges). PMCCS’ Benefits to you:

• With Skype, you employees will be able to receive calls transferred by PMCCS for free at any time, anywhere.
• With SkypeIn service, you customers will be able to dial into the Phone System from any cell phone, landline phone or mobile phone.
• With SkypeOut service, your employees will be able to make cheap international calls through PrettyMay outbound call center.
• With SkypePro service, your employees will pay nothing per minute for calls to landlines within the same country.

Check it out. You’ve got nothing to lose with Skype’s 15-Day Free Trial.
