That is one failing of Vonage. They do not provide dial-tone routing or any sort of PBX services like that. They do have something that might work for you, though. It's called "simul-ring" and it mans that incoming calls also ring at another number. So let's say you have a slaes number on your cards. It can ring simultaneously in MN and NM. If your NM guy's phone rings more than a couple of times, you can pick it up.

There is one other very, very cool feature. You can select a number that is almost anywhere in the US, and maybe Canada also. Want to make your presence known in Virginia? Get a 703 number. They'll never know you're in MN.

Hi Guys,

I have a T-1 in my house and I work from a home office in Minnesota. I have
a sales person in New Mexico.

Ideally, I'd like a VOIP service where when someone called me they would get a message like "press 1 for sales, press 2 for Dave." The idea being that it
would route the call either to her or to me.  We would need voicemail and
caller ID too.

Does Vonage provide these kinds of services and if not does anyone have
another service they might recommend? I want to give callers the impression
that we are a much larger company then we are.

Thanks!

I have been using Vonage at home and love it.  I had tried Lingo before
Vonage and HATED it, although I think most of the problems were due to the
D-Link hardware that they supplied.

I have had some experience with Linux based PBX systems and have found
them
to be much more cost effective than hardware PBXs.  This along with VoIP
really has the possibility of cutting quite a bit of cost around the
office.
