Just set the number to "Do Not Disturb" and it will go directly to voice mail instead of "ringing".Does that help?

I recall a few of those authors Brian, can't say I read any of it, but it rings bells.

BTW, my building is in a 2nd ring suburb of `Minneapolis.  

(NOT THE OCCUPANTS)Once all this is done, I now  pronounce us Landlord and Tenant, give them the  ring, (key ring with keys of course) and our marriage (contract) has been completed, and most times I even get a hug at this time. 

Does this ring a bell in anyone's mind? 

Great way to start, my contact detail is in my signature, I'll give you a ring tomorrow.

This rings true for me, great post.  

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way that if someone calls my business number and I can't answer by the 3rd ring, it automatically sends it to my answering service.  

You need to seriously consider how willing you are to make that trip on a regular basis.If you would prefer to get some local help renting out the place on Airbnb in Palm Springs while you are in LA, direct message me or give me a ring, and I would be happy to see if I can help with some introductions to some locals in Palm Springs who might be able to help you.

Try Makings rings around downtown.
