What phone/internet service should I choose? I am starting a small business.....HELP!!!?

Question

I have researched every service that I can think of including:
Qwest
Cox
Verizon
Cingular
AT&T
I only need a cell phone, a business phone, or a VoIP phone. I also need at least 512 Kbps bandwidth on the internet. I need to know if the software works on Mac and Windows. I also want to know if the service is good. If you have experience please let me know. I would like to know if they treat you nicely when you have questions, and whether their tech support knows what they are talking about.

I also need to know if the company has good rates, and why you think so, (please give me a comparison).......

Answer 1

If you need a phone for your business. You can save money by bypassing the high cost of a business phone line with this trick. Get a 866 toll free number for $2 and have all the calls forwarded to your personal cell phone. You can setup the 866 number to display the 866 number on your caller id so you can identify whenever the call is a business call. So now you are able to handle both personal and business calls on one phone instead of two. Don't worry about customers getting your personal voicemail because you just set it up so any 866 call will go to the 866 voicemail that is included for free before your personal voicemail picks up. Then all messages are emailed to you as well as saved online. Also, don't worry about business calls in the evening because you can setup specific times when it should go strait to voicemail. http://kall8.tollfree2.com
If you have Sprint or Verizon, you can get a laptop netword card to connect to the internet at slow DSL speeds for additional fees. Sprint is cheaper.

Answer 2

It may somewhat depend on the targeted clients... Where we live, reception varies so much that, in our city, Sprint reception sucks and other prices are too much and Verizon reception is a must, whereas in a large city 60 miles away, Verizon reception sucks and Sprint reception is a must... Nationwide, I dunno
