Do I have to have two line to add a fax machine to my home business?

fax

Question: Do I have to have two line to add a fax machine to my home business?
Own home business going to purchase a fax machine. Do I have to have 2 lines.


I have a home business, and I have two lines. one for the phone one for the fax


No.

My fax machine listens is a combination fax machine/answering machine. If I’m not home, it listens for the difference between voice and tone and responds accordingly.

If I am home and it turns out to be a fax, I hit *9 and the machine switches over.


No. I use a single line which has a phone, and a phone out on it. I can pick up the call if I wanted to or I could let it get to fax after 4 bells.

Personally, I have been contemplating the switch to eFax. Its cheap and accessible from anywhere in the world.

Good luck with the business!


It can be done with one, but is pretty awkward. Figure on two lines.


I had used a fax machine for some years and it’s so uncomfortable. Then I have tried PopFax.com internet fax service and it’s so reliable. It lets me to save money on fax machine, potential repairs, and it is environmentally friendly, because it doesn’t require consume of paper and toner. Also I can receive and send faxes (http://en.popfax.com/Send%20fax%20subs.html) while traveling, as long as I can get an internet connection.

OOMA Q&A, OOMA vs Magic Jack? OOMA multi-line business? OOMA Linux Ubuntu?

Thing works like a charm, I love it! Magic Jack doesn’t work in Linux natively but OOMA works since it doesn’t touch your OS! :) If you have a small business that needs multi lines, get Cisco IP phones used on ebay then buy 5 lines for a month! Remotely hosted IP Phone service.

marketing, advertising a new business?

fax free

Question by liran k: marketing, advertising a new business?
Hi all and thank you for looking at my question.

I have opened a computer repair and support company in Miami 6 months a go, most of my clients are word of mouth, which is good and I am happy with that as it means we are doing a good job, and the majority of clients are happy with our services.

We would also like to advertise and get fresh new clients to extend our networking, unfortunately we do not really have a buget for advertising, or heavy expensive advertising, we have tried :

1. fax advertising
2. free directories
3. google
4. newsletters
5. flyers

with all of this, we have not yet breaked the ice, nothing has really really changed in the volume of interest.

I was wondering if anyone had a really good success with some sort of advertising? Radio? telemarketing? anything that can be useful please share.

Thanks

I have a Small Business, is Ring Central Office a Good Option for Me?

fax email

Ask by Jonah Montgomery: I have a Small Business, is Ring Central Office a Good Option for Me?
I’ve been hearing about Ring Central and some of the features they offer would work well for my small business (the virtual assistant, fax/email/etc) not sure though how it is in real life. Anyone with experience?

Thanks

Answer:

Answer by mykah
I actually started using Ring Central specifically for their “auto receptionist”. I just wanted my business to seem a bit bigger than me sitting at my house on my computer!!

I’ve been using the service for a few months now – and have the phone management and 800 number as well as the virtual fax. Its actually drawn several compliments from friends who know how and where I work…they think I’ve gotten an office!

Oh, and I got a free trial by using a Ring Central coupon I found here http://www.discountspies.com/ringcentral-coupon/. It made it really easy to decide if it was for me or not since I didn’t have to pay anything if I didn’t like it.

Best of luck. I’d definitely recommend at least trying Ring Central Office as it really is an inventive solution for people with small businesses, like us!

Can I keep my business phone number and have it forwarded to my cell and drop the high monthly fees?

Question by Joseph F: Can I keep my business phone number and have it forwarded to my cell and drop the high monthly fees?
I currently have VOIP service but I’m droping my cable internet at my shop for a mobile air card. I’m not at my shop much and I could use my internet service on the road more than in the shop. The downside is that my VOIP service provides my voice and fax line. Without the internet the VOIP won’t work. I plan on switching to a internet fax-to-e-mail service but I don’t see the need in paying $ 29.99 for the VOIP service just to have my calls forwarded to my cell phone. Is there any way to pay a company to instantly forward my calls to my cellphone for around $ 10 since I won’t be using them for long distance or any outgoing calls? The local phone company isnt very friendly with business numbers. I could get a basic residential line and have it forwarded for $ 9.99 but the business number that I have has a minimum charge of $ 54.99 w/ Bellsouth.

Answer:

Answer by ?????????????????
