[Hidden-tech] $10/month 800 numbers

[andrew bellak]

Thanks for that guys.  I believe what I¹m looking for is called Virtual PBX,
so maybe that might jar some memories out there.

David, Kall8.com does offer this, it¹s about $25/month plus $12/month per
additional user/extension.

Paul, YouMail.com is just plain nifty.
