Now that we’re in the days of always-connected internet access from every device, you don’t need to use the traditional phone networks anymore. The cost of an expensive phone plus the money for the extra line adds up really fast-for instance, a $699 iPhone plus around $30 per month for an extra line ends up being over $1000 over a year. This solution works and allows you to answer the business phone line from anywhere, but it’s not very cheap. Tons of small business owners do this, carrying around two iPhones and constantly switching between them. Since it’s 2021 and more people have cell phones without even owning a landline, your second option is to simply get a second phone and carry that around with you. Even if you’re able to get a cheap landline, this option lacks convenience. This is still an option, but the problem is that now your business phone number is tied to your house or office location, and can only be answered if you’re physically there. That means contacting the phone company, asking them to run a new line to your house (which usually includes a setup fee), and then paying extra every month for the new line-you’ll pay $20-30 per month on the low end for a residential line, and in the $60+ range per month for a business line. If you’ve decided to stop using your personal phone for your business, the traditional way to get a new number was to simply get a separate line. We’ll review some of the reasons why you’ve made the right choice. If you’re looking into separating your personal phone from work, but you aren’t sure if it’s the best decision, look no further. The alternative to personal cellphones and landlines is VoIP, or Voice over IP, which will give your company a more professional feel and a competitive edge. While it makes sense to use your cellphone, and it can be scary to make a change, owning a business in the 21st century may require an upgrade.
Some may even be using old landlines for their calling needs. Lots of small businesses use their personal cellphones when making work-related phone calls.
