Going Out of Country? Keep Your Business Running

November 19, 2007

If you’ve got the opportunity to travel out of the country, you don’t have to put your business on hold.  Of course, there are computers and internet access just about anywhere you’d be interested in going; so you’re never too far from email access.  This is a terrific way to keep in touch even if you’re out of the country for extended periods of time.

If you want to be able to accept phone calls, you are in luck!  As long as you have access to a telephone while traveling (whether it’s a cell phone or your hotel phone number, or your friends phone number, etc!) you can still receive business related phone calls- as well as personal calls- from a phone number that your clients and family already know.

That is, it’s easy if you  had a toll free number through get800today.com.

Before you travel, sign up for the prepaid service, and deposit some money on your account.  Choose your toll free phone number, and have it forwarded to the phone of your choice.  When people dial your 800 number, they get redirected to the number you’ve selected as your forwarding number. 

When you’re ready to travel, whether in or out of the country, you can have the incoming toll free calls forwarded to whatever number you choose- and continue “business as usual” wherever you are.  Your clients will not even know that you are away (unless you tell them).  Your family can call you toll free, no matter where you are.  It’s a tremendous opportunity to stay in touch and you are in complete control over how much it costs you, since it’s a completely pre-paid service.

If you think the entire process would be too complicated to set up, or time consuming- you’re wrong.  You set it all up quickly online, from the selection of your toll free number to the phone number you wish to forward your calls to, and even the making of your first deposit to fund your account.  In five minutes or less, your toll free number will be set up and ready to go. 

If you’re thinking that your trip out of the country is a vacation- and why in the world would you want to be accessible to your clients- then you would want to consider a toll free number so your family or friends could reach you in the event of an emergency, or just to say they  miss you!
