    I use Ring Central for my small business. It's a virtual PBX and incoming calls are automatically forwarded to my cell phone or any other phone I designate. You can set up a toll-free number or local number for a low monthly fee. You can set up mailboxes for each person in your company, and although I don't use it, there is a dial by directory feature as well. You can even set up different voice mail messages for when you're out of the office or on the phone. I have been using it for over a year, and I have been very pleased!

    Here's the link to check out all the features:

    Without knowing all of the specifics, I would recommend you look at ZeaCom. Great company, very helpful, they can help you grow and can do all of the things you are asking about and more. You can add more capabilties as you go. This is software, not the hardware, but they should be able to guide you. They were one company I was thrilled with.

    Here is a very good book I read when I was planning the purchase of our new phone system. I really helped me plan out for today and tomorrow.

  3. Nortel makes several versions of voicemail and auto attendant. The cheapest would be the norstar compact ics (CICS), which comes with auto attendant, but not voicemail. Next would be to purchase a small norstar system to run your business with, and add on a small call pilot voicemail module. It will cost a few thousand up front, but no recurring fees. The norstar series is a very reliable system that is used by many companies around the world. Also, shop arpund for refurbished systems to save about half.

    Also, check specialty companies like hello direct, black box, and sandman.com. They have lots of neat doodads that may serve your purposes.
