Furthermore, checkout OneBox

I'm using this PBX system for my pager-->routes incoming calls to my cell phone....ie NO PAGER NEEDED!! yippee!! Onebox is an email account, a fax account, a telephone account. You can set it to call you at any number(s) you designate. Only $50/month, compared to the $200-250/month I was paying a operator driven paging company. PLUS, patients have the option of leaving NON-emergent information on a voicemail OR they can page you directly for EMERGENCY conditions. By giving them the option to either leave a message or page you, they will ALWAYS leave a message for the prescription refills and other stuff that requires assistance from the office staff rather than the physician. Nothing bugs me more than patients calling the paging company to notify the doctor that they need a medication called into the pharmacy. That is for staff to do, not me. So these phone calls have stopped entirely.
