800 Number When Starting Out?

[Richard D.]

I am running into a massive problem launching my business. I have a company that basically has no telephone number. Sure, I have a cell phone. but my salaried job will not allow me to use my cell phone while working. Same thing with my wife, so from 8-5 Monday through Friday, no business (OUCH!) completed.

So here is my question. 

Is there a company that will provide answering services that isn't an arm and a leg? And can I have them tailor the responses they give to fit my companies needs? If so what cost can I expect to incur?
