Question by Chase S: Is there such a service that will forward business calls to your cell phone?
Ok i know many businesses have “Virtual assistant” services but some do alot more then i want and offer more then i want. In my absolute ideal situation there would be a reputable service, maybe even local to Minnesota, in which i would get a call and they would have some virtual assistant say “You have reached……….” or whatever they say and then they say “Just a moment and we will connect you” all obviously pre-recorded. Then they will forward the call to me on my cell phone and when it gets to my Cell phone the company will use a NON Toll free number. And this is because a person then could have My Circle or My faves on the phone and add the number the company calls from and then all calls would be included in the cellular plan. Now i have seen GotVMail and Toktumi which both look great but GotVmail is like a cellular plan already in that it has a limited number of minutes. But it has more Toll Free number options then Toktumi. Does anyone know of a business that has just those two simple things the “Virtual assistant” and the forwarding with a Non-Toll free number? Because the way it works is they use your own number to forward the calls. So if you have a toll free number they will send the call to you from your toll free number and since those My faves and such dont support toll free numbers you pay for it see?
If you are asking why i dont just get a land line its because my home office is in the middle of the house, to far for a wire, and to unpredictable for VOIP. I tried.
The other option i guess is get a local number and get any of the before mentioned services and then all will go through their system and when i get a call it will be from my local number which i can use as a My Fave type of deal but that obviously limits calls. So if anyone has any ideas i would really love to hear about it, thanks!
I think there may be some confusion in what i wrote. Because it doesnt have much of anything to do with my cell phone. My faves is My faves across the board, and they wont allow 1 800 numbers so if i have one and i have a virtual number relay the call to me it will come in as a 1 800 number which i cant mark as a Fave. That why i was hoping there was a company that when they relay the call it will show on my cell phone as a NON toll free number. So i could fave that number and all calls would come through that number so there would be no cost for the calls through that virtual number.

Call your cell phone provider tech support or customer service. Tell them the situation. There is usually a code that you can enter on your cell, but you have to refer to your manual. its easier to just call your provider.
