Any suggestions on a good 800# service that I can direct to a cell phone (possibly sprint pcs or others) or multiple phones that has a decent rate?

Anymore links to companies that offer 800 numbers?

I currently have a landline right now, but was thinking of a cell phone with an 800 number...

Does everyone use:

landline?
cell?
both?

I only have the landline for fax really...

So if I were to singup with ureach.com I'd be able to choose my own 800# and then by using their online cpanel, direct it to my cell or whatever!?

When I chose Canada as my country I got a message... Does ureach offer me this service in Canada?

ureach does not allow you to select your own number. They assign you a number from their existing database of toll free numbers which mostly include 866 and 877 numbers. Really sucks that you can't pick your number at ureach:-/

We use RSLCOM and I tell ya they kick ass no monthlys and only 5 cents a min and check this out they round if off to the nearest 10th so if you use the number for say 15 seconds you only get charged 2 cents lol.. you can also ask they if they have a specific number.. we got 888-okihost :D


<edit> oops guess the number would help..
888-225-6057 (billing)
800-266-2006 (sales)

Does RSLCOM have an online system to manage your account? What kind of features do they provide or is it just a simple phone number attached to your existing line?

RSLCOM has a website?

All I want is to register the number I want and then basically pay for what I use... I understand I will prob get charged a monthly fee which is fine :)

I also need it to direct to my canadian number...

I had an RSLCOM number before I moved and it was great, there isn't a monthly fee but there IS a $5 monthly minimum (hahaha NO problem there).

But I've been waiting since July 5th for a new toll free number! I finally got tired of waiting and used the kall8 link above and my new toll free line is already ACTIVE though I am paying 1 cent more per minute and $2 per month (oh well I'll suck it up).

Well I have a fancy number I might use for my business but it sounds like RSLCOM is the way to go to get a number to let my family call me when I move out of this area:)
