OTTAWA (November 17, 2009) - my1voice, the feature-rich virtual phone service for small business, today announced it has added features to improve communications and created a simplified pricing structure for customers. The enhancements are based on a recent my1voice customer survey asking about add-ons that would be of value to the customer.

"These newest enhancements underline our commitment to help small businesses operate more efficiently and effectively," said Steve Adams, vice president of marketing for Protus the provider of my1voice. "These new features give our customers all the communications features enterprise users have – along with some they don't – with a pricing plan that's based solely on how many minutes per month are needed."

The additions further improve the my1voice user experience, satisfaction, and flexibility while providing an increased level of professionalism and business communications for the user. The new features include:

Simple Pricing Structure – New pricing allows users to choose their plan based on a single criterion: how many minutes per month they expect to use the service. As a result, all my1voice customers now have access to features such as unlimited extensions, a virtual receptionist, the ability to port an existing phone number or select a local or toll free number and more.

Receive my1voice calls on a Skype address – my1voice customers can now have their incoming calls forwarded to a Skype address in addition to the other phone numbers in their call forwarding list. Callers need only dial the my1voice number and extension and my1voice will direct the call the same as with any other phone number.

Faxes by Email - In addition to receiving a notification email that a fax is waiting for them on my1voiceCentral, faxes can now come to the same email address where voicemails are sent. Faxes are saved in my1voiceCentral for 30 days just like voicemails.

Call Announce Screening - my1voice has a new way to screen callers, letting customers know who is calling before the call is answered. A caller first records his or her name, which is then played for the my1voice customer, allowing the choice of whether or not to take the call. This augmentation to its call screen capabilities speeds up your identification of the caller and reduces frustration on both ends.

my1voice is a virtual service that works with a business' existing phones, making it more flexible and easier to maintain while being a fraction of the cost of a traditional, equipment-based phone system. It provides communications features such as a virtual receptionist with auto-attendant, unlimited extensions and voicemail services that show a professional face to callers while also allowing small to medium-sized business employees to stay in touch with the office via phone, email or the web.
