Toktumi Launches Full-Featured, Virtual Office Phone Service for Mobile Professionals

Nov. 20, 2008 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20 -- Toktumi, Inc., the leading provider of affordable phone services for virtual and home offices, today announced a new phone service designed to help independent business owners and home-based professionals manage their calls in a cost-effective way. For only $14.95 per month, toktumi customers receive a dedicated business number and virtual office assistant that enables them to project an organized, professional, big-company image from the road or home office.


"Today's independent business owners are constantly on the road, working harder than ever," said Peter Sisson, founder and CEO of toktumi. "Because they must be everywhere at once and available 24X7, it is extremely difficult to balance work/life responsibilities all while maintaining a professional front. Our new easy-to-use, yet powerful virtual office phone service is designed to give these professionals all the advanced features they need -- whether on the go or in a home office -- at a fraction of the cost of traditional phone systems."


Toktumi is a simple, affordable solution that mitigates the risk of losing important business opportunities through mishandled calls or an unprofessional presentation. With toktumi, road warriors or independent business owners can combine two phone numbers on one mobile device. Other features include mobile phone call screening, customized greetings for different callers, instant conferencing of up to 20 people, a free 800 number, and the ability to make and take calls from a laptop or mobile phone. The service is newly available through Dell (http://www.toktumi.com/dell), Staples.com (http://www.toktumi.com/staples), and http://www.toktumi.com.
