OnlyOne Product Overview

Finally...You can give your contacts a single local number for every kind of call.  With this number, you can answer live calls, receive voicemail, be paged with messages, and even receive faxes privately.

When someone calls your
OnlyOne number, the call rings in your office if you're there.  If you're at home, it rings at home.  If you're mobile, it rings your cell phone.  Or if you prefer, the system politely asks for the caller's message.  You will be immediately notified when you receive a voicemail or a fax.  With an easy one-touch button, you can tell OnlyOne where or if you want to be reached.

OnlyOne eliminates the need to ever give out your cell, home or other private numbers, yet still take important calls there.  You'll never have to waste time checking two or three voicemail systems.  Your E-Mails, Voicemails and Faxes are all in ONE place and accessible from anywhere.

There's
no hardware to buy, no software to buy and no contract to sign.  The service is just a flat monthly fee.  Most of our subscribers have found that OnlyOne pays for itself since it reduces their cell usage and replaces their fax line and/or voicemail line.  Our clients tell us that they appreciate the professional image, time savings, simplicity and privacy that OnlyOne brings to their communications.

Your callers will need only ONE NUMBER to reach you for any situation.

OnlyOne gives subscribers the simplicity, control and privacy they have always wanted. It also gives your callers a means to quickly connect with you, if you’re available and to know your “status” if you are not available. Thus, your callers have a better understanding of when they can expect a return call.

Each OnlyOne subscriber is issued a local Direct Inward Dial (DID) number. Callers are not required to dial an 800-access number or special code numbers (8XX-access is available to accommodate mobile or traveling users, but is not required). All features are bundled into one telephone number. It’s also important to note that the OnlyOne service is device independent. OnlyOne will work with any type of standard telephone, key system, PBX or cell phone.
As part of OnlyOne’s philosophy of customer support, OnlyOne subscribers are supported by a local representative who understands the local market and the needs of his/her subscriber base.
