Managing expectations is an issue everyone has to deal with. I can only imagine the handful a typical bride and her mom is. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I hope you don’t mind the addition here - I want your readers to know that the provider of MyFax now also offers a hosted PBX service called my1voice that includes the same type of time-saving features you describe in your post. One of the most significant is the popular “find-me/follow-me” feature that lets you forward your office phone to a cell phone, home phone, or other number, either sequentially or all at once.  Your readers will also appreciate that we provide a toll-free number as part of the basic service. Of course, the basic package also includes an auto-attendant, multiple extensions and voicemail services that give a professional face to callers while also allowing employees to stay in touch with the office via phone, e-mail or the web.  If you’ve used MyFax and have liked the reliability and customer service, you will like my1voice for those same reasons. It’s certainly worth checking out for any small business owner who is thinking about upgrading their phone service. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If anyone has any questions about our business communications solutions, you can find me at http://blog.myfax.com/.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2570333021319048714/8341923022662911366/comments/default/4662224306530134351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2570333021319048714/8341923022662911366/comments/default/4662224306530134351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thinksplendid.com/2008/04/managing-expectations-and-your.html?showComment=1218736920000#c4662224306530134351' title=''/><author><name>taraerinlandry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14668504060225802535</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thinksplendid.com/2008/04/managing-expectations-and-your.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570333021319048714.post-8341923022662911366' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2570333021319048714/posts/default/8341923022662911366' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1431002603'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570333021319048714.post-5375758481996547955</id><published>2008-08-09T12:10:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-09T12:10:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I had a question about the "mobile office."
