😀 hey all.i will be going on vacation and shutting down for a week,just like last year.all my calls are forwarded to my cell so i can continue to book jobs.my cell provider,verizon has towers up where im am going but my phone will go on extened network,rome,or no service.this is frustating but this is where are vacation place is.does anyone else deal with similar circumstances.please lets here.
Hi Tim,
I have set up a toll free number that I give out to my customers rather than my actual number. The toll free number is almost always forwarded to my cell phone, however, I can change that and forward it to another number anytime I want. So if I go somewhere for a few days where my cell service is poor or nonexistent, I at least have the option of forwarding my customers’ calls to a better phone. To utilize this flexibility, you would need a good phone at your vacation spot of course.I know this doesn’t solve your problem and you couldn’t implement this immediately as your advertised number is already out in ads, etc., but you might want to look into this for the future. I have the toll free service set up through Kall8. You can do everything you need to do online at http://www.kall8.com.
I should point out that the calls to me through Kall8’s service cost me, but it is a very small amount per minute. Our business is not particularly phone intensive, so the cost of the service is mostly neglible.
Have a good time on your vacation!

When I go on vacations I like to travel on nights. One reason is less traffic and seems to go shorter, and two because there are areas that I don’t get coverage, potenial customers hardly ever leave messages. The places that I visit have good cell phone coverage. I usually take only weekends and 3 day weekends.
