Just switch your land line to a Vonage line (same number) it's cheaper,
better service, more features.  You can forward that number to your cell
phone or anything else.  It's two generations better service and you can
keep the same number.

I do have some concern about that which is why I've hesitated to give up my
land line thus far.

I'm phasing out my yellow page ads and will also probably go 100% cellular
in the next year or two (once I'm sure everyone has the number).

Don't be too sure they will have your cell number.

 

I did this several years ago. But many people never figured out that I
really meant that "my number is changing." Even in spite of my mentioning
that on every postcard I sent out for two years prior. :-)

 

Fortunately for me, they called my mother's number and got my cell number.
(We are the only Formsmas in this area.) Last year I was able to get my old
number back, and receive a number of calls still. (My home number was
canceled in 2005, and then reconnected in 2008.)

 

If you condition your customers to go to your website or PTG's site, you
won't have this problem.

 

I don't have a yellow page listing. Just word of mouth, and whatever may
come from people looking at websites. I do occasionally look in the yellow
page book, so I know other folks must also.
