A listener-supported radio broadcast station has a telecom problem. Their local (212) pledge call-in number (for on-air fund drives) was just outsourced to an outfit in nearby (516), but they'd like to continue using their well-known (212) pledge call-in number if feasible.
What free or low-cost options exist for forwarding thousands of listener calls without incurring per-call charges, or for inexpensively porting the (212) number to the nearby (516) location?

1- you could do *whatever to forward the number.
2- you can call into the business office and they can place a remote call forward at the CO which will redirect the #. Check with them about charges and how it's covered on the current call plan.
3- the calls can also be forwarded from the PBX but that would prob be the most expensive option depending on call plan -- Add a signature here

reply to wdcdradio Port the 212 number to Google Voice Set up GV to ring the 516 number (or any other number desired when it changes again). -- Ad astra per alas porci!!
Thanks for all your replies. Because this (212) number will be used for on-air fundraising, any solution will require up to ten (10) simultaneous calls to be forwarded to the (516) number's call center.
