Thank you. If anyone asks me, I will tell them that I moved to Norway :)

>Here in Norway nobody (and I do mean nobody) has a landline anymore. Actually, the landline system was been closed down earlier this year. IOW, everybody, including companies and authorities, use cell phones.
>
>Bigger companies with dedicated telephone receptionists typically use computers which are connected to a cell phone or a special GSM unit. No outside wires.
>
>However, the "outside world" don't see these changes, since most companies continue to use the same old numbers.

>>Hi,
>>
>>I was wondering what you (collective you) think of changing the landline number of the business to the cell phone number?
>>
>>Currently I have two landlines for my business. One line is practically never used. The other line (main line) used 90% of the time by telemarketing people. Maybe 10% is used by customers.
>>I need to decide if I renew the landlines (both lines cost about $400 per year). I definitely decided to drop the 2nd line, since it is never used. And I am thinking of dropping the 1st landline and simply use my cell phone as the number for the business. Especially since a lot of time I am not in the office and customer leave voice mail. At least when they call the cell phone number, I will be there.
>>
>>My question, does using cell phone number for business "sound" unprofessional?
>>
>>TIA
>>
>>P.S. When I write landline, it is a VOIP line.
