Long Distance Inquiries

[Unregistered]

Probably everyone else uses their cell for business but I do not. The last thing I want is one more way for parents to reach me day or night or weekend.
But what would you do when people use a long distance number to ask about your daycare? I don't want to call back with my cell or make a LD call on my home phone.
I assume these people just didn't change their number when they moved here, they sound totally legitimate.
Ideas?

no ideas but I didn't change my number when I moved. I don't think many people do these days.

I have to pay for long distance service on my house phone because of daycare parents with long distance numbers. If you get calls from people with long distance numbers often, you might want to just add long distance service to your house phone.

Many people don't have house phones and only have cell phones so it is common for them to move from state to state without changing their number.

A huge amount of my clients have out of state #s. I only use my cell though. I would add minimal long distance to your house phone.

They probably just ported the number.
