Hey, I started with my personal number like most of us do. Worked fine at first, but man, when the texts and calls started coming in at 7-8 at night and on weekends it got old real fast. Switched to OpenPhone about a year ago and it’s made a huge difference. Easy texting, professional voicemail, and I can silence it after hours so I actually have a life again. Clients don’t seem to notice or care, they just want a quick reply. Wouldn’t go back.
That part about silencing it after hours is underrated. Boundaries become really important once the business starts gaining momentum.
