From all appearances it seems that I was not clear on the options that are available with respect to business phone lines and the advantages and disadvantages.

Now there are a few routes you can go with the business phone line bit.

1. Use a cell phone (current or new) and get it listed in 411 using listyourself.net

Advantages = cheaper       Disadvantages = can be a pain to get listed.

2. Get a Remote call forward number forwarded to an existing phone or a new phone. A new phone is recommended because you need a business voice mail.

Advantages = you will be listed easily; the phone company will act as a trade line because they do report ;  not very expensive

Disadvantages = some creditors will want you to call back from that number and although it is possible, it is not easy.

3. Get an actual business phone line

Advantages =  simple verification; will report to DnB

Disadvantages =  a little more expensive, usually $50 per month.
