      I don't entirely disagree, but if there is added cost for something as trivial as a phone for a tiny 1 or 2 person business, why bother?

      But the cost is trivial, but the need is not. It is very rare that publishing a personal cell phone is not a big deal, and rarer still that a company will go sans phone contact all together.

        But there is cost involved. A business owner having their cell phone tied to the business and for personal if there is any chance of growing now runs the issue of having to either re-brand their business for phone etc (this is actually a big mistake small businesses make) or give up their personal cell number and have it ported over for a PBX system and then have to deal with the cell phone company to get a new number etc.

        The cost is so tiny now for a PBX or google voice number that a business just shows how little they know about running a business and their longevity when they don't take the time to be a fully operational business with real phone lines etc.

          I spend a lot of time helping small businesses undo all their bad decisions from when they started. Phones are just one of many.

            That's a big piece. Get this wrong and it haunts you for a long time.

              business

              If I want to buy a business and it emails all to someone's personal email that's going to be a pain in the ass.

                2-3 seems large when I'm setting one up just for myself, now that I know my cell phone randomly refuses to go to voice mail 😞

                    Yes, exactly my reaction when I heard about this. Waiting on my tech support request response. Just got that in today.
