Get a business phone number

A separate number keeps work calls organized, protects your privacy and lets you set business hours.

• Use a business phone app (VoIP) that rings on your cell, or get a second line.
• Record a professional voicemail greeting with your business name.
• Use the same number on your website, cards and listings everywhere.
