We, at Phone.com, always want to make it as easy as possible for new customers to get started with their service immediately after sign up.

Due to the huge feature set of Phone.com Virtual Office we noticed that some customers may get a bit overwhelmed about how to set up their account.
So, we added a simple “wizard” that helps guide first time users set up their Virtual Office account with a basic forward / follow me and voicemail. Once you have that going. You can start enjoying your service within minutes of your sign up and then take your time studying all the different options available with your Virtual Office service!!

Please visit the Phone.com website and learn more about our new and exciting features from the site or by contacting our 24×7 support team.
We are here to help you.
As always, we sincerely appreciate your comments and feedback.
Please let us know what you think by contacting support@phone.com.
