I'm looking to get an 800/888 number for a small business with no brick and mortar presence. We want voicemail, conference calling, extensions (which forward to individual cell phones or land lines), a menu with options when people call, and an admin interface that I can interact with to make changes.
Heres what I'm not able to piece together just yet... 1) how do I get an 800 number thats not tied to a phone company or physical phone line. 2) how and where can I host the server (asterisk?) To handle calls, store voice mail, etc. I currently have some amazon ec2 instances and would love to use one of them if possible. I've heard good and bad things about doing this. 3) if cloud hosting isn't possible, should we just go with some hosting service specializing in business phone services and hosting? Id rather not get into the business of housing business critical hardware in my house. I'm more than willing to rtfm's if pointed to some :) Thanks Alan
