Phone number just for call forwarding?
 

I have someone that is starting to do some business development for me (mainstream) and I offered to buy them a cell phone and service, but they would rather just use their current cell.

I'm looking for something where I can just buy a local phone number and have it forwarded to his cell for $xx a month. I know vonage has something but I dont feel like going out to buy another unit and I dont want to sign a year contract with a company if it doesnt work out.

Any suggestions?

Not sure what your using it for fully, but i've used a company called VoiceStar for tracking multiple phone numbers across internet campaigns.

I actually think that this might be good... Not sure.

Most of the voip services offer this.

Call your existing phone company and ask them, I have that type of setup with Rogers and I think its only $5/mn more. I don't know if any companies will offer just that service, but most offer that as a complimentary service if you have services with them.

Buy a magic jack at www.magicjack.com and you can go online and forward that number to anywhere you wish. Then you don't have to pay a monthly fee.

use www.GrandCentral.com now Google Voice. :2 cents:

Can use Rapidvox, voip.ms or any other voip company.

It is called Call forwarding fixed. Any telephone company can provide this.

Google Voice is the shit. I've been using it for quite a while and it's only gotten better.
