One iPhone, 2 phone numbers+2different voicemail boxes solutions.

I need 2 differents phone number on a IPhone for 2 differents business.

My solution had a extra phone line to my home phone+forward that extra phone number on my iPhone.

Questions:

-Will it indicate the phone number call by the caller on my iPhone so I can answer the right business name when a customer call.

- Can I have 2 differents voicemail boxes messages for each business, or one for each phone number?

Dual G5 2.5GHz 4GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

1. Whether you see the CID info from the originating call vs the forwarding line depends on your land line carrier. Most do forward the CID.

2. There is only 1 voicemail box. The phone (your cell carrier actually) doesn't distinguish received calls from the forwarded line vs direct calls to the iPhone's number. The voicemail announcement will be the same. You don't actually have 2 numbers/lines in the iPhone.
