Hi all,

Well, I'm all ready to start purchasing from this company Access Line for their local phone number which includes one VM box & BAMMM, I'm told they don't want my money b/c I'm in Canada & their archaic payment system doesn't allow for Canadian addresses & they clearly won't even fix the problem.

Not only is that a terrible biz move b/c now they will lose money from not just me, but a lot of other people out there, but once again, it makes us Canadian businesses feel unwanted & unloved by some of these American companies that refuse to accept that we also have enterprising businesses & deserve the utmost respect.

So, can anyone recommend a company that actually wants my money & to do biz with me?

I just need a US phone number (I want an easy one that I already have picked out) & 1-2 VM boxes.

Thanks


Michelle

You can also try eFax.com.. they are pretty good. Its not local but its not bad.

Isn't efax just for faxes?

I already use their free service for incoming faxes.

When I say local, I mean a # within the US.

Thanks


Michelle

Have you tried kall8.com? I have heard good things about them.

Thanks, but not only can you not listen to the messages on the phone as they only come via sound file in an e-mail, they charge you per minute even though it's not a toll free # LOL

Thanks for trying though

Freedom Voice is getting ready to offer local numbers also. We are actually doing a website now for a client in New York that offers a lot of services - local numbers being one of them. His email is rwardell (at) callclearvoice (dot) com - if you want to shoot him an email

Corey I just called up FV yesterday - http://www.freedomvoice.com/view.cgi?page=index&g= & they told me they only offer toll free #s. I decided to give them a chance b/c I do have their package, but don't want to go the toll free route at this time.

I'll e-mail the other guy.

I've called several companies & $8.95 is the lowest, but they won't allow me to pick from several #s so I get a really easy one. That's an issue for me b/c I'd rather go with an easy # than a complicated one.

Thanks

I am a reseller for FV so I do know they are going to offer it soon. They might be doing it before October. I cannot remember if they are doing that along with the Web Conferencing / Phone Conferencing by then or not. That was why I said they will be offering it but I am not certain what areas either.

I do know Ray does though, I just cannot remember his pricing off hand

Yeh I'm a reseller too, but haven't made anything from them yet, so I'll just be keeping them around so I can sell.

Unfortunately I can not wait until Oct. I need a # now.

You should tell them to tell their receptionist that they will be offering it since she didn't give me all the information.

Later

Well she probably did not want to say anything since they are not offering it. They test everything - pretty thoroughly before offering it to the public, which I do like.

You should join the Monday night conferences. I started so that I could keep up with all their new services
