posted over 3 years agoHi all -
I'm trying to setup a local number for my VA in the Philippines. I've setup a google voice number and am trying to figure out how I set that up so that it rings to my VA in the Philippines?
Thanks,
Ehab

replied over 3 years agoOk thanks but in order for that to work she needs to have a dedicated number in the Phillipines, right? She works in an office and they only have one main number. I would have to pay for a dedicated number just for her, correct?
Any recommendations on services? I thought I say you can do that through skype.
Thanks.

replied over 3 years agoI think I may have figured this out. I created a skype account and setup unlimited calls to the U.S./Canda and a skype number which came out to about $20 for three months.
I then add that skype number to my google voice account so whenever someone calls my google voice number it will ring on my VAs skype account in the Philippines.
Sound right?

replied over 3 years agoYes Skype is the answer. I setup a local number for my VA in the Philippines and I think it cost me $20 for three months. I actually setup a Google voice number which rings on both my cell phone and the Skype number my VA uses. That way when I get calls on that number on the weekend when my VA is not working I can answer them.
Good luck!
