I need a new toll free solution! First of all, I've been using a toll free number of over 15 years now and attribute much of my income to having one. A toll free numberis one of the best real estate tools I've ever used, and could not imagine making a living in real estate without one! There are loads of options, but I am lookingfor a smart one with portability. In the past I've tried other options, and was disappointed in them...some for quality, and others for pricing. I used to use a toll free number that attached to a business home phone, and the first numbers of the number became a toll free number. It was is it piggy backed on my existing service. The cost was an additional $70/ month. My current toll free number resides with my broker and is cheap less than $5 / a month but the number is not portable. I like the portability of a toll free number. I must admit I do not like the sound quality of VOIP...it sounds like it is coming in over 2 tin cans and a sting tied between them!
Here is basically how I use the toll free number. A person comes to my website and calls my toll free number. The toll free number then dumps into a voice mail where they leave a message, and I capture their number at the same time. I am not interested in conversing with the person on a toll free number. It gets very expensive, and all many persons are looking for are free information at my expense! Any ideas? Please share!

I noticed on Kristal's post (now featured) she references the Arch-telecom system and that many agents are still using it. I tried it once, wasn't for me. I'm interested to here what suggestions you get.

Jim, I will be curious about your solution. Someone mentioned Folow Me Technology with Google but that does not fit your dump into Voice mail concept. I have a Sprint dirt cheap 800 line that rolls into my Verizon land line so there is caller ID but sometimes I do answer as part of the mix of calls rolling in.
Cheryl Ritchie, Southern Maryland Real Estate (RE/MAX 100) I assume the Sprint is a mobile 800?
I have had a toll free # since 1995 at about $7 a month with 200 minutes and .10 a minute thereafter. It is through Cox, but I had it with Bellsouth and AT&T.
Check out 800Service.com. For as little as $9.95 month you will get powerfull lead generation system with your own national toll-free number.
