Make the calls come to you
If you're a small business owner, your office may be your car one day and your kitchen table the next. With virtual phone service, your callers won't know the difference. They'll call one number, and they'll be routed to the number (or numbers) you select: home, office, or cell—all at once, or one after another. You can even set your own business hours so you'll only receive calls when you want them. And with a number to handle your business, your cell phone number remains just for personal use.

So we've given our highest ratings to those services that not only give you essential features for a great price, but that won't cause you headaches either. When considering a virtual phone service decide which features are important to you: Want faxing? How about conference calling? How many minutes do you need? Our reviews and comparisons break down all the costs and features.
Save money, and save yourself from headaches
Call it virtual phone, virtual pbx, or virtual office, it doesn't matter, because mostly you'll be calling it a life saver. There's no need to spend extra money on equipment or high-priced plans from the big phone companies. Virtual phone is cheap, powerful, and scalable. You'll be surprised at the big features you get for a low monthly cost. Sign up, configure your mailboxes with your web browser, and you're good to go. You'll have great phone service anywhere you can receive telephone calls.
