Durham Virtual Office

A Virtual Office starts with a local or toll free telephone number.
Now you're in business…barely.

Customers and prospects can call your Durham Virtual Office number and leave a message. But, customers don't call a business to leave a message. They call to speak with someone, now.

By adding “Find Me – Follow Me” your Durham Virtual Office will call you, at any number, and connect your callers to you, live. And with optional free Call Screening, you'll decide which calls to take, and which to send to voice mail.

New: Callers can listen to Your Company's “On-Hold” Message, while they wait to be transferred.

You can sound even bigger, when your Durham Virtual Office answers with an Auto Attendant. Callers might hear “Thank you for calling [your company]. If you know the extension number of the person you're calling, you may enter it at any time. For Sales press 1, Technical Support press 2, Billing press 3, etc. or Press 9 for the Dial by Name Directory”, even though all calls and departments are transferred to you!

When you don't take calls live, callers can leave a voice mail message. Each person and department can have their own private voice mailbox. Your Durham Virtual Office can then call you and deliver the message to you and send the message to your email, so you can hear it over your computer, or any Internet device. You can also be notified by pager.

That's great, but you're still not done. Every business needs to be able to receive Faxes. Your Durham Virtual Office number can be set to automatically receive faxes, or you can add a separate number for faxes only. Faxes are delivered to your email, where they can be viewed, printed, forwarded, saved or discarded.

With this Durham Virtual Office, you're in business for real:

Durham originated in eighteen fifty-three with the search for a suitable railroad depot for the North Carolina Railroad between Wilson and Hillsborough. An earlier post office known as Herndon's existed in the area from eighteen twenty-seven, and another at nearby Prattsburg was established in eighteen thirty-six. The landowners at Prattsburg refused to sell land to the railroad. Somewhat further to the northwest, a country physician named Bartlett S. Durham lived and practiced along the route. He donated land to the railroad, which named the subsequent depot Durham Station. Durham quickly developed a vibrant African-American community, the center of which was an area known as 'Hayti', pronounced HAY-Tie, just south of the center of town, where were established some of the most prominent and successful black-owned businesses in the country during the early twentieth century. These businesses, the best known of which are North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co., and Mechanics & Farmers' Bank, were centered on Parrish St., which would come to be known as "Black Wall Street". This strong community was not enough to prevent the demolition of portions of the Hayti district for the construction of the Durham Freeway during the late nineteen sixties. The freeway construction also resulted in the loss of large parts of other historic neighborhoods, including Morehead Hills, West End, and West Durham. Combined with large-scale demolition using Urban Renewal funds, Durham suffered significant losses from its historic architectural base. Public education in Durham is provided by Durham Public Schools. Durham owns forty-five schools, including a school for hospitalized children. Durham also is home to the state-run residential high school North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.
