I'm starting my own design business and making up business cards. my current cell number is still one in Massachusetts, but I live in Colorado. Should I put the MA cell number on there or get something like a pay as you go phone so I can have a local number to put on the card?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I assume you're going to be running it out of your house, in which case you might want to look into the concept of the virtual office, they can start as low as $100 per month and provide phone answering, mail forwarding, and conference rooms if you need a professional place to meet someone. Probably not much more expensive than a pay as you go phone if you're having a lot of business.

If I was in Colorado and was looking to do whatever your business is, and saw you had a number from somewhere that wasn't ringing a bell, I'd probably look right over you in the phone book. Plus, people calling from their house phones don't want a long distance charge for a local call

Purchase a 1-800 number and put a call-forward on it....

You can actually put a call-forward on any number to ring to your cell, as 1-800 #'s can be pricey.

What the heck is a phone book?

A big thanks to Shawn for hooking me up with that!
