If you are running a business that needs a toll-free number and/or an electronic fax system, consider using Kall8.
They are very inexpensive at $2 / month (at the time of this writing) and about $0.07 / minute. They have regular toll-free numbers as well as vanity numbers. This service is probably best for small to medium sized businesses or sole proprietors.
The great thing about the Kall8 service is the flexibility. Here are some of the possible uses:
- You can use it as a great way to receive faxes, especially when you are on the go. Just give the sender your number and Kall8 will send a PDF of the fax straight to the email address of your choosing. You can then print it out or save it for reference. This will cut down on your paper and toner use and will provide a record of your faxes, should you need it later.
- You can use it as a 24 hour recorded message system. Many potential customers are afraid of calling because they are afraid that you will try to sell them something that they don't want. That is why it is good to have a website and a 24-hour recorded message. The great part about this is that even if the caller hangs up before they leave a message, Kall8 can send you an email (if you select the option) for every call that was made to your number with the phone number of the person who called. You can call them back and see if there is anything you can help them with.
- Finally, you can use it as a toll-free number. Sometimes you will have to do business with people that live out of the area and don't have a cell phone with free long distance. Give these people an easy way to contact you!
All of these options are available on the same line. Kall8 offers a ton of other options too, such as call recording and call routing. You can route calls to any phone of your choice, or have the number ring to several different lines in succession.
Activation and billing are all taken care of online and activation is instant. Their administration page is easy to use and allows you to change options instantly, depending on your needs.
