Hi Z! Why don't you jump the fence to a cell phone? I have found it valuable to be able to speak to people immediately when they call. (They don't call someone else while waiting for an answer to their message.) Whenever I leave the house, I simply call forward from my business phone to the cell phone. That way I don't have to advertise my cell phone number. The cell phone has lots of great features including an excellent answering service for those times when I have the phone turned off (before 8:30 am.) Also, if someone leaves a message with the answering service, it rings my phone as soon as I turn it on, telling me that I have a message waiting. If this idea appeals to you and you have further questions which I might answer, let me know. I have had a cell phone for about 10 years.
