Phone Service

[screamforadream]

Do any of you guys use a separate phone for your haunt?

I was thinking of doing a mobile plan, so that I don't actually have to be ON location to answer the phone.

Who do you use? Who do you think is the most affordable?

We publish one number On all our marketing material and have it forwarded to a mobile phone so calls can be answered by who ever is in charge that night.

As mobile phones have become so cheap, you could get a prepaid phone just for the months of operation, but if you're going to be around year after year, I'd reccomend securing a more permanent number once you can afford too. I know you can get a number through AT&T that they call a re-direct that isn't installed at a physical location but can be setup to ring on another line. (incoming calls only)

I recommend using Google Voice. You can have it ring up to three different cell phones, that way calls are never missed.

Sounds good on that google voice, is it hard to setup?

I'd recommend Google Voice also. Takes around 2 mins to setup and can have all calls forwarded to any phone you want.

Is there a way to see that the number being forwarded is for your haunt biz & not personal? Just wondering if that could be done?

Google voice can make it ring your own number. So for instance, if you
are assigned 123-456-7890 as a phone number from google voice, Program that number as a contact in your cell phone with a name such as "haunted house." Now anytime someone calls, you will see haunted house and know to answer it appropriately.
