With Gerry starting his own small construction and finishing business from home I told him we needed to shop around and compare some of the small business phone systems that are available. Then we can use that dedicated number on all of his new business cards, flyer’s and his web site. That way we also don’t have the kids answering calls from his customers. I also believe we can write off some of the bill on his taxes this year.
Packet8 Virtual Office offers a nice package that I think would work out great for us as we get his business going from home. They off all kinds of helpful services such as “hardware free” and “self-installable” that will help keep things easy.

The plan I am looking at is their Business 2000,
The Business 2000 calling plan is a Business VoIP telephone service that includes a single direct-inbound-dial line with a basic business feature set that includes voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, find me/follow-me, simultaneous ring, call forwarding, 7 digit local dialing and more. Business 2000 calling plans include 2000 outbound/inbound PSTN minutes.
With us both planning on keeping our full time jobs for at least another year, this sounds like the perfect plan to help our business get off the ground.

Packet8 Virtual Office also offers a wide range of other money saving plans. They even have plans to help you lower your already monthly bill. Residential plans or Business plans, they have a plan for you. Compare them to any traditional phone service provider and you will be amazed at how you can save.
