Here at Press 8 Communications, we have been touched by the difficulties our fellow Americans are having during yet another hurricane disaster. As a Texas based company, many of our employees have family that have evacuated the affected area, and we all want to help in some way.

One way we can help is to give small businesses who have lost phone system connectivity due to electrical or telecom outages a way to receive business phone calls. So we have decided to offer any company effected by Hurricane Ike 1 month (or more) of FREE Service with no setup fees (a $55 value). Tolling will be offered at just 1 cent a minute.

With a Press 8 Hosted Phone System, your business phone communications can be back up and online in minutes. And we offer this at absolutely no charge as part of the Ike Hurricane Relief Effort. Those who participate are under NO obligation to continue service after one month and can simply cancel after they no longer need it. It's just our way of giving back to those in need.

Here's how it works:

Instead of missing your phone calls and voicemails, they are forwarded to our facilities where our carrier-grade soft-switch and media gateways route the call to the telephone number(s) where you and your employees are reachable at (land lines, cellular phones, etc). Voicemail messages are saved to your online account, and sent to your email inbox. Your displaced workers can continue to answer phone calls and your company can continue to receive voicemail messages.

Here are the 5 Easy Steps:

1. You simply call our customer support team (1-877-6PRESS8) and we will setup your fully functionally, multi-line service via the Internet and give you a phone number for forwarding your current number.

2. We step you through the process of creating your phone greetings for your phone system if needed or we can make them for you (announcement messages, auto-attendants, etc).

3. You call your current phone service provider and ask them to temporarily forward all calls to your new number provisioned by us. (This usually takes place immediately after you request it).

4. After caller selection of the appropriate department, calls are directed to individual phones or groups of phones, simultaneously or sequentially until someone picks up, or times out to a voice mail request. Your displaced employees can be connected anywhere with phone or cell phone service.

5. Voicemail messages can be accessed via any standard telephone, our web-based Control Panel, or forwarded to your email.

Your company communication is now back online.
