Need HELP

Jun 11, 2009 7:13 pm

Going independent and need help with phone system. We will be utilizing time warner business class phone and we will have four lines and three phones. Should we contact a local telephone communications company to set up a whole phone system? The quotes we have received are a bit pricey. Or should we go online and purchase a multi-line digital answering system and two other phones? I am just curious as to what others have done for their phone service. Purchasing the phones online seems like it would cost a lot less or am I missing something here. If you could please help it would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

1.  If you’re by yourself why do you need 4 lines and 3 phones?

2.  If you’re not a 1-man operation, then we can assume then that you’re building a professional practice, and if this is the case why are you concerned with the cost of doing things the right way and just paying someone to do it?

The response from BerkshireBull has to be one of the worst in history.  If you don’t know the answer, DON’T RESPOND!  I know exactly where goinindie is coming from - one man operation OBVIOUSLY NEEDS MORE THAN ONE PHONE LINE BECAUSE I WOULD ASSUME HE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE ASSISTANT AND POSSIBLY A TELEMARKETER.

  Let me guess, the fourth line would be for a............you got it.........FAX MACHINE!   Anyways, a telecom provider will ding you for $2k+.  If someone else has a better solution, I'm all ears.
