A phone service called Sipgate will give you one free number and 60 minutes of outbound calls per month. And for a fee, you can have up to 100 lines for your corporation. It is a VoIP service, similar to Skype. But you get a phone number, not a handle/username.
You also download software, which turns your computer into a phone. Or if you wanna spend money you can purchase special Sipgate/VoIP handsets.

Now, if you have a Google Voice number, you can add your Sipgate number and make calls from your computer.  And since your Google Voice rings your Sipgate…you are not being charged outbound Sipgate minutes!

Some really smart folks have put the tutorials together on how to get Sipgate up and running, so please refer to them.

You can record your conversations on Sipgate.  You can do conference calls. You can connect/transfer people to each other.

I don’t think you should give up your landline, but Sipgate makes it tempting.

My call was entitled, “Are You Networking Or Not Working?” We discussed how to “work” a networking event, what to do after the meeting, how networking can help your job search/interviewing, as well as the pros and cons of social networking.

This segment is from the Q&A part of the call.  A young lady wanted to know how to convey her desirability when either meeting someone or being interviewed for a job. Especially when you are not that experienced or cannot drop celebrity names.  (Backstory:  When Jane introduced me, she made sure to mention that I worked for nearly two decades in entertainment, which means that I had the pleasure to work with some entertainers.)

I think Gary Vaynerchuk would be very pleased with my answer.
