I had two free Callcentric phone numbers.  One which i used for inbound faxes and the other for calls.  I will keep the fax line and dump the other.  It is only $1.00/month.  BFD.


You might be able to use the line for both with some type of call treatment. A recording asking to press 1 to connect with you, otherwise it times out to the fax service.


Unless I misunderstood, it's $1/month for two incoming numbers.

What I'd like to understand is what other service providers offer the free inbound DID / VoIP service (if any)?

My "landline" usage is negligible, so paying for it at all is not something I want to do. Even the switch to a very low monthly fee from CC is not appealing.

There is no such thing as totally free phone service.  Somebody has to pay for the infrastructure costs, business taxes, regulatory fees, etc.

It's one freakin' dollar.  Tell me what you can buy for one dollar?

Does that mean I can send you the bill? :)

I have multiple numbers that need to be supported. None of which get any substantial amount of use. If I'm going to have to start adding on costs, the benefits go out the window pretty quickly.

I don't want totally free "service", just the inbound portion. The outbound is handled by Google Voice. I can handle the inbound with them as well, I just have to sacrifice the SPAM filtering since it's required to have a forwarding number in place in order to filter the calls.

However, if a Google Voice phone number is not used for some unspecified time interval (formerly 9 months, now undisclosed duration based on new algorithms), it will be reclaimed (taken back by Google).  "used" means:  make outbound calls or send text messages.  Inbound doesn't count, as an abandoned number will still receive robocalls.

I would hope that doesn't apply to numbers that were ported into GV.
