(900) Help

[Giorgio_Xo]

I am very interested in creating an automated telephone (900) version of my online escort directory.

I have spent some time doing research but I keep running into brick walls, i.e. MCI is no longer in the business, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions or knowledge?

Do I need my own PBX or will some third party have a customizable system?

What kind of costs should I expect?

Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to go a telecom hosting facility and have them build it for you.

Expect to invest about 5K to get it done, they will also arrange lines and billing.

Or you can work with those make a million dollar now guys and kill time and money and get nothing.

Thank you! I don't want to sound ignorant but could you name a few telco that would do this?

You should find a talented telephony software programmer to write the customized app that you can use for your own services and then license it to other escort services as well.

You might want to try to find one at

http://www.ITmoonlighter.com

They have over 100,000 freelance programmers in their online database. I'm sure you could find a specialist in there who could create it for you.

Keep us abreast on development. It'd be a great program to market.

Requirements:

(900) that charges per call and not by the minute.

Escort listings can be searchable by region (zip code or area code), ethnicity, body type, price, etc. via a numeric menu or imput. The system will announce the results and play a complete verbal description of each lady with contact information.

Administratively, each listing will be managed by the phonemaster and categorized in the taxonomy by numeric imput. I don't want a system that the escort themselves can manage or edit, only the phonemaster.

One could view this similiar to a personals (900), but not as complete.

Ok you need a inbound 900 number with a flat rate

Simple database driven stuff they should be able to setup, and if the descriptions wont be pre-recorded it will have to support text to speech

I would hire a lady with a nice voice to do the pre-recorded descriptions.

Any suggestions on who to approach and how much?
