Packet8 Introduces Virtual Auto-Attendant

Source: saunderslog.com

For $15 per month, businesses with three lines can now have a virtual auto-attendant from Packet8. 

The "bionic-bitch" is so prevalent in business today that it’s a real shock to actually have a human being answer the phone.Â. Th. head-scratcher in this announcement is that the mos. successful small businesses get that way by high quality customer interaction, and human touch.  It makes you wonder whether the marketing folks at Packet8 really understand their customer.
