This week we covered Online Voicemail and Fax Services.

There are many reasons to use online voicemail services, including the opportunity to sound like more than a 1-person operation. You can also route calls to a virtual assistant, to your office, home, and cell numbers as needed. The service I use, AccessLine.com, I found through Costco’s Business Phone Services. I also set up our NSA Northwest chapter to use AccessLine. Using AccessLine for our chapter slashed their phone bill by 60% (instead of using a voicemail line from Qwest).

• Costco Business Phone Services   <– Use this link if you have a Costco card
• AccessLine.com <– Use this link if you don’t
• eVoiceReceptionist — from the same company that gives you eFax. We reviewed it as a point of comparison with AccessLine’s services and pricing.
  
  

We also discussed Online Fax services. There are a number of issues to consider as you look for the appropriate service.

• Can you receive AND send faxes?
• Can you receive faxes via email?
• Can you send faxes via email?
• Can you take your (land line) current fax number with you?

We looked at two services:

• eFax.com
• CallWave.com

I have used eFax for over 3 years. I don’t get many faxes these days, but for a while I was getting quite a few from international locations, especially for reservations from hotels that hadn’t gone online. eFax has some great features, such as being able to send a fax merely by creating an email and attaching a document.

Enjoy!
