In a message dated 98-07-29 01:04:24 EDT, you write: In part, Dale said, << If expecting a call that requires immediate attention, I will call forward the office phone to my cell phone. >> Before I opened my store with a full time secretary to answer the phone, I forwarded my business phone to my cell phone when I left in the morning. I carried my appointment book with me in the car, and made appointment all day long. When I only had a car phone, I would recall message from my voice mail in between appointments. When I switched to a portable phone, and I carried the appointment book in with me. The time it took to set up an appointment was not enough to throw off my schedule. Yes, I did get some unwanted calls, but not enough for me to discontinue the practice. If I got a call from someone with whom I would need to spend some time, I would explain the situation, and call that person back while I was driving to my next appointment, or some other convenient time.
