I called my telephone service provider. They set us up with an 800 number without charge. We don't pay any monthly fees. We only have to pay if the number is used and the cost is minimal at that.

We went through our service provider as well, but we did have a small monthly fee to have the number. And of course we paid when it was used.

We did ours through Costco - it was VERY inexpensive and worked well. We could change where the numbers called into, or put them on a rotating schedule for day and night.

Edited to add website: Toll-Free Number - Smart800

had it forwarded to my mobile phone and could listen to messages through my computer. In fact you can manage the whole thing through the website. I found it to be really good!
