This allows for better communication with possible contributors to the charity.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #203961;\"><strong>Results:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The charity organization is very pleased with their solution. \u00a0 They were so happy to have a company cater to their needs and know exactly what he wanted. \u00a0He was thrilled with the free professional recording and he loves that he pays one low monthly fee which is the same for Canadian customers as it is for US Customers.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian local number in Oakville (suburb of Toronto) so that a charity in that part of Canada could have a directory with voice mailboxes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20659,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_pvb_checkbox_block_on_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[156,163],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-studies","category-direct-messaging","category-156","category-163","description-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Charity Buys a Canadian Virtual Phone Number with Voicemail Box<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Canadian charity wanted to have a directory with voice mailboxes.
