Default Re: GotVMail - Get an 800 Number! (Ok, so ours is an 866, but whatever) and a cheap fax!
Hi Elizabeth,

I have an 1-800 number from GotVMail (now called Grasshopper). It is a great service, costing me about $10 a month. When callers phone, I have the calls redirected to my cell phone so I can choose to answer the phone or redirect them to voice mail. They also offer a wealth of other options. Prior to having the GotVMail number, I had a subscription to MyFax.com which I dropped when I got my GotVMail as they offer incoming faxes. You can't send faxes with GotVmail, however, I rarely use outgoing faxes as I can always pdf whatever document I am sending and email it.

There are a number of companies out there offering similar services, I know quite a few VAs use Ring Central and have heard others use Kall8. There are a number of threads on this board discussing these services, you can do a search and read more.

Whatever you choose will end up being a matter of personal choice depending on what you intend on using the service for.

Good luck!
