One of the items that you need for a home business is a phone. You don't just want to have one phone for your business. A cell phone is what most people will think of when they are first starting up their home biz.
Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. A cell phone is great for small biz, but what happens when you don't have good reception? What if you need to talk to a client and the phone call sounds horrible? Don't rely just on a cell phone or a smartphone. You always want to have a backup plan for calling.
What about setting up a landline phone? I know it seems kind of old school, but the landline phones are solid and they work. There are some really cheap unlimited calling plans for cell phones, but the costs for a landline phone might be higher.
What about internet calling plans? Think about adding a skype account or another leading voip calling service. You want to give yourself a few different options to get calls. Skype is super cheap and you could also get a google voice number.
Staying in contact with clients and prospects is a part of running your own small biz. Give yourself multiple ways of staying in contact. The costs for communications does not have to be high and it can provide a better look to clients, customers and vendors.
