I don't have any landlines anymore -- but I have a VOIP service that makes it look like one to everyone & of course I can VOIP on my cell phone. Cell phone service is so cheap now -- you can easily get unlimited text and calling for less than $10 a month now -- for example https://tello.com/buy/custom_plans has good deals and uses the tmobile towers. Anytime I have an 'office phone' first thing I do is just forward it to my cell phone anyway -- so really no real use for a landline anymore. For VOIP I use https://www.voipo.com/ --- I've had good luck with them and it does have a 'twining' ability so it can ring/forward to other phones too -- so you get this VOIP and then you can actually forward that or set it up to ring at same time on your cell phone. Between VOIP, Google Voice, and $8 monthly cell phone plans I see no use for a landline lol.



>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?

>P.S. When I write landline, it is a VOIP line.
