Just curious what you guys do for having an info phone line for your haunt. and how much does it cost you? I figured I would share what I have done. It is super professional sounding and cost next to nothing compared to most other options.
I use VoIP. First I want to say this is not your regular Vonage or Skype stuff. I have a high speed internet line, an old PC (1GHz), a few pieces of software (free), and an account with a VoIP provider. (I use link2voip.com).
it cost me $2.49 per month plus 1.1¢/minute. Unlimited inbound channels. Plus my internet connection. you guys can call it to see what you think. 214-615-8592. there are menu options that give dates, directions, prices or "press 4 to speak with one of out ghosts"
Trixbox is the name of the phone or IP-PBX software I use. You can buy a real physical phone like I do to connect to it through your network or just use whats called a soft phone on a PC. It really is very easy to setup.
Here is a youtube video that walks you through basic setup steps.
I know this is just basic info but if there is more interest I may write up a how-to.
The phone I use has a network connection on it. It is a Polycom SoundPoint IP 500. or you can use a softphone like Xlite - http://www.counterpath.net/x-lite.html&active=4
