Get a second or third number attached to your main phone number. It’s called a distinctive ringing service - also known as Ringmaster, Ident-a-ring, Ident-a-call - or whatever your Illinois Bell, er Ameritech is calling it these days.
It is automatically unlisted and non-published - and the lines ring off your main home phone # - no one will know unless you tell them.
Pretty cheap too, as I recall - not more than $5 per number - just use your *67 to block your main # when returning calls and your privacy will be intact.
Best - and cheapest - privacy option is to put your home phone in the MAIDEN name of your spouse - that’ll keep most folks from finding you. Also, be sure to REMOVE your address from your listing, if you don’t want your tenants showing up at your door.
Well,here goes, I’ll try to be concise, Chicagoland area, finally starting in R/E investing,currently have published home phone # , want un-listed home & listed business #,have Corp. set-up with mail boxes etc in place.
Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated about the business phone line,companies/services,etc.The un-listing of my home # now shouldn’t be any problem…(I think anyway!)…Thinking of fax/answering machine!,considering voice mail?..but confused about that!
Thanks A Bunch !!
