Virtual Office Resource

Phone.com (News - Alert), winner of a 2011 Internet Telephony (News - Alert) Product of the Year Award, was recently highlighted by KBFX News in Bakersfield as part of a feature on money-saving phone systems and mobile phone applications.

Highlighting their Virtual Office product, Phone.com representative Meredith Red pointed out its many conveniences and low-cost features. Priced staring at $9.88 per month, Virtual Office delivers two toll-free numbers or two local numbers, the ability to transition an existing number, unlimited voicemail and forwarding of calls to a mobile phone thanks to its mobile app.

Users of Virtual Office receive 300 monthly minutes, although they can upgrade to unlimited minutes for $21.88 per month. In addition to recording professional company greetings, SMB owners can receive incoming and outgoing fax, unlimited virtual extensions, and conference call hosting for up to 99 attendees.

Additional Virtual Office features include HD Voice, Text to Voicemail, queues, IVR, pre-recorded hold music, international calls, call recording and blocking, and after hours greetings.

In addition to the Virtual Office program highlighted on KBFX, Phone.com also features a number of Mobile Office apps designed to maintain professionalism on the go. You can make calls from your Mobile Office, or example, using your Phone.com number and review voicemails from your mobile screen. Mobile Office works with Android, BlackBerry (News - Alert) or iPhone devices.

Phone.com Group SMS and ChatCalls are also offered for mobile devices. Group SMS allows multiple users to carry on an SMS conversation on a single thread with a “Reply All” feature, and ChatCalls allows you to send quick messages to friends using a pre-selected greeting followed by a customized message.

Working with FlexJobs, Phone.com provides VoIP solutions to both telecommuters and to employers who hire telecommuters. The Phone.com solution and its ability to help teleworkers, entrepreneurs and other highly distributed professionals in a professional and cost-effective manner earned it recognition from the telecommuting job board website.

“As we continue to move into a highly distributed information economy composed of large numbers of contracted individuals, there needs to be a place for these people to find work. FlexJobs helps to meet that need,” said Ari Rabban (News - Alert), CEO and co-founder of Phone.com. “At the same time, those people also need the most cost-effective, feature rich, and high quality phone services available to communicate with customers and managers.”
