The end result is that you get a second number for the same line, but the ringing sounds different, like the phones you hear in movies set in England. Often the cost is included in a bundle of phone services, or is a small addition to your regular monthly bill, but it lets you know if the caller is coming through your toll-free line, and if you have call waiting, you will get a different set of beeps, so you know it's a business call.<ul></ul> One other thing about forwarding your calls to an existing local number.
