Question

Looking for 1-800 internet answering service that delivers messages to email. Don't want phone, just business answering machine that would record messages and send them to my email (or notify me to pick it up). Do you know an inexpensive service like that ?

Answer 1

It is easy to do with pay-as-you-go VoIP services like CallCentric or InPhonex.  Just create an online account.  Purchase a Toll-Free phone number (called DID - direct inbound dialing).  Then, set your account to have all incoming calls go directly to VoiceMail.  Set the email address you want copies of your VoiceMail to be forwarded to.

There is no VoIP equipment to buy when just using the services as a call frowarding, or VoiceMail forwarding service.  Self administer your account and only pay-as-you-go.  No term commitments.
