Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 devise. 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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia Virtual Office, you're in business for real:

Prior to the arrival of Europeans the Philadelphia area was inhabited by the Lenape, Delaware , Indians. Europeans arrived in the Delaware Valley in the early sixteen hundreds, with the first settlements being founded by the Dutch, British and Swedish. In sixteen eighty-one, as part of a repayment of a debt, Charles II of England granted William Penn a charter for what would become the Pennsylvania colony. Part of Penn's plan for the colony was to create a city on the Delaware River to serve as a port and place for government. Despite already having been given the land by Charles the Second, Penn bought the land from the local Lenape to be on good terms with the Native Americans and ensure peace for his colony. According to legend Penn made a treaty of friendship with Lenape chief Tammany under an elm tree at Shackamaxon, in what is now the city's Kensington section. Having been a Quaker, Penn had experienced religious persecution and wanted his colony to be a place where anyone could worship freely despite their religion. Penn named the city Philadelphia , which is Greek for brotherly love, philos, "love" or "friendship", and adelphos, "brother". The state government left Philadelphia in seventeen ninety-none and the federal government left soon after in eighteen hundred. However Philadelphia was still the largest city in the United States and a financial and cultural center. New York City soon surpassed Philadelphia in population, but construction of roads, canals, and railroads helped turn Philadelphia into the United States ' first major industrial city. Throughout the nineteenth century Philadelphia had a large variety of industries and businesses, the largest being textiles. Major corporations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries included the Baldwin Locomotive Works, William Cramp and Sons Ship and Engine Building Company, and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Industry, along with the U.S. Centennial, was celebrated in eighteen seventy-six with the Centennial Exposition, the first official World's Fair in the United States . Immigrants mostly, German and Irish, settled in Philadelphia and the surrounding districts. The rise in population of the surrounding districts helped lead to the Act of Consolidation of eighteen fifty-four which extended the city of Philadelphia to include all of Philadelphia County . In the later half of the century immigrants from Russia, Eastern Europe and Italy and African Americans from the southern U.S. settled in the city.
