Ask HN: How do small businesses handle phone calls?

4•duckkg5•21h ago

If you run or work at a small business: cell phones, landline, VoIP, or something else?

What sucks about your current setup?

What would you like to see instead?

Google Voice for local, VOIP. ms for toll-free text and call in US and Canada. No live calls. Everything goes to voicemail and we call back.

I use https://www.quo.com/ (previously OpenPhone).

At Matasano --- and this is back to like 2005 --- we just used an online telephony provider that routed calls to our mobile phones. I'd probably still just do that today.
