When you’re opening a small company and finances are tight, the last thing you want to spend big money on is a high-tech telephone system. That’s where Phonebooth comes into the picture—an internet-based telephone system designed for small business and freelancers. Without paying a dime, businesses can secure a local phone number, set up extensions and voicemail boxes, and even use call forwarding to push calls to mobile phones when nobody’s in the office.

Before you have an office or even a desk, you can get started working with clients and building your business by getting a local phone number through Phonebooth. Because the system is entirely cloud based, you don’t need a landline to begin receiving calls. Once you set up the system, you can insert Phonebooth’s widget onto your website and start hearing from potential clients and customers right away. The system gives you 200 minutes of inbound calls per month for free, and after that the rate is just 6 cents per minute. Phonebooth’s “auto attendant” lets you set up a customizable menu and voicemail box just like a tradition business phone system, and each voicemail can be automatically transcribed and emailed to your inbox without any extra costs or fees.

As your business grows you can upgrade to Phonebooth’s fee-based OnDemand system, which features HD-quality audio, conference calling, and unlimited local and long distance calling for a set monthly price. The OnDemand system keeps detailed call records, offers a 24/7 customer help desk, and support for toll-free numbers, number porting, and international calling, as well. If you’re the head of a growing business looking to keep costs low, then Phonebooth is a web-based phone system that can save you a bundle.
