Cell Phone, Office Phone or Both

I am a new real estate agent in Minnesota. I am debating the idea of operating with just my cell phone as my primary contact number, versus having a cell phone and an additional VoIP company. 

I have a couple of theories with potentially adding a second line. First, it could potentially be a way for me to filter some of the outbound/inbound calls and marketing from business and personal life. If I wanted to turn off for a few hours, it's easier to do so without a personal cell phone as my only number. 

For any agent who has experienced this question at some point... what did you find that was best for you? Why? 

If you have ever used a VoIP provider, which have you used and how much are/were your actual monthly/annual costs? Did you find it beneficial? 

Thanks so much for any input out there agents in the BP community! SH

@Shane Hedeen I have two cell phone number.  The number I use for advertising, I have rolled over to my personal number.  If I don't want to take work calls for a few hours, I can stop forwarding for a bit.
