Cellphones, VoIP, it's all good, but for a business phone I would not suggest a cell. I have a cingular cell, but I've got free cingular to cingular calling, all in all I use about 1500 minutes a month, just for personal phone calls, and I also work at an ISP and that plan would never work for conducting business because we use about 8000 minutes per month during daytime hours for support calls. If your slick enough to set up an asterick box (what we use at work), she can set hours to recieve calls, voicemail, phone busy messages, and use a VoIP provider (can't remember it's name now). The one we use provides us with an 800 number, and incoming and outgoing is less than 2 cents per minute in the US and around 5 cents per minute international. If you are interested in what that carrier is email me at lwoods@ycnx.net
I love when taking calls at a dialup ISP when they say initially that they can't get on the internet, when after about 10 minutes of telling them to go here or go there because they can't dial up because they are on their home phone that they have forgotten their yahoo.com email password and can't get into it anymore!
