Re: Recomendation needed: Voicemail provider

A few years ago I had a need for a fairly sophisticated way to deal with
messages.  Cell phones weren't even available then.

What worked best for me was a answering service.  I found a service that had
live operators 24/7.  The staff was offering more than just taking messages.
 They were not as good a secretary but they did keep track of stuff for me,
and they gave me a pager too.  They paged me when they had a message they
and I had agreed was important.  This took care of the "honey, bring bread
home" kind of messages.  My clients and customers liked it a lot.

Of course today's technology does wonders, but if you want an edge with your
contacts, nothing beats a real human voice with no accent.

Subject: [PCTECH] Recomendation needed: Voicemail provider
 
Folks:
 
I am in desperate need of a voice mail service.  I don't mind paying a
few bucks a month.
 
My basic needs are: local or toll free access number, local number for
leaving messages, email notification of messages, net access to messages
(nice to have).
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks!
