Anyone in are getting started in business should look at this company I have been dealing with for a minute. They provide 800#'s and 2 local #'s (in any market/area code) for 30.00/mo.
I run a couple of companies off these numbers the work like personal assistants for me and my guys.
If someone is going to either be moving locations in the future or dont have a location at all as of yet it is very good for them because they can use the local # have a local presence and when they do go to a physical location they don't have to change anything ( the local numbers don't cost you anything per minute so you simply forward them to the locations phone.)

For a real estate broker, an insurance agent, or any other Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) proper presentation is essential. When you are running an operation from quarters more modest than the fiftieth floor of a downtown skyscraper, it is essential your customers perceive professionalism. When the view out your office window looks UP at the neighbor’s fence, it’s not enough you are able to talk to customers they must hear and "see" professionalism in their mind.

Outbound Calling as low as 2 cents per minute!
Ever wonder why hotels charge as much as $1.50 per call and as much as $1.00 a minute to make calls from your hotel room when the same call costs so little from an outside phone? Because they can. They know you don’t want to make that important call from a public phone booth – if you can even find one anymore. So, they charge as much as they can get away with. Well, Genie will help you put an end to that. Simply call your Genie toll-free number and make all the calls you want for as low as 2 cents per minute! If you are in a foreign country, use our Universal Office Call-Back. Just make one call to Genie and ask her to call you back. Now your call is an inbound call, you’re talking to Genie, and SHE makes all your outbound calls for a fraction of the cost!
Two (or more) Local Numbers in Different Cities
