How can I get a US phone number?
 

Without setting up a complicated VoIP setup.

The easier the better...

Thanks,
Steen.

Try Vonage.com

..........

VoIP isn't complicated to setup...

They ship you a gateway (about the same size as a router), you plug it into your modem, plug a phone into the gateway and just like that, you've got yourself a US phone number.

Check out vonage.ca rather than vonage.com

woohoo woo hoo hoo ... woohoo woo hoo hoo

I don't need a cheap phone though.

All I need is a phone number. I know our toll free number is cheap as borche (sp?) and just terminates (redirects) to a phone number of my choice.

Is there anything like this for normal "local" numbers?

Vonage aint complicated to set up. You just plug two thingys in.

As far as I know, VoIP is the only way to go about it. Unless you have an American buddy who's willing to setup a phoneline and put on call forwarding.

What's your aversion to VoIP?

Why .ca? V .com looks cheaper.

On wireless internet...
Want to keep the current number here...
Want to keep the current phone service here...
Don't need another phone? :)

.com is US only, and prices are in USD.

I've got a wireless network setup. Doesn't matter for VoIP. You can also keep your current number and your current service. VoIP doesn't make use of the phone line or phone jacks in your house (unless you want it to).

.com can be hooked up in Pakistan afaik. It's just bandwidth.

We got US address and US credit card etc... No problem hooking up vonage.com (it's cheaper than .ca after conversion).


Regardless, it's not really what I want or need. Besides, I can't afford it.

Yeah, you're right, you can hook it up anywhere. But they'll only ship it to a US address. But seeing as how you got one, that's not a problem :thumbsup

efax(.com) is just what I want, just for telephone, not facsimile.

so you don't need an actual line you can talk on, just voicemail?

I'll 2nd Juicy on Vonage.com

its not fuckin complicated at all - just plug and play :thumbsup

Just some requirement I need to meet: US phone number

Would prefer not to get VoIP, but I suppose if I can't find anything else...



All I really need is a number (US, obviously) that someone can contact me at. Voicemail should be fine, or redirect, or anything else.

You have to be dumb as a brick to not know how to plug in a few cables

what a joke

You've spent more fucking time answering in this thread then it would take to hook up Vonage

Even with someone in the states that is willing to set up a phone number for you, and then redirect them to you, you or he will be paying longdistance charges. The only way to do what you want, is VOIP, and Vonage is the best to use.

I used genie.us before, didnt get much use out of it, switched to vonage. Genie are big assholes though

It works.. I didn't see you offer anything

www.angel.com - get the basic business service. 800 number plus voicemail and it e-mails the messages to you. If I remember right you can redirect the number you choose to another phone number.
