Looking for a phone service. For a small company (15-20 people) no physical central office. Just need a central number that will then connect/forward to that many cell phones.

Most of what I'm finding is voice over IP (VOIP), we don't need to move totally off using cell phones. Just have a central online service.

any experience with this?

I'm more looking for specific experience with one of these companies. I can google and find a few but the one we tried before sucked ass (vonage). I'm looking for happy customers of other services essentially. Those can speak from experience if you will...

I dropped this a few years ago and only use a cell now, but I used to pay the princely sum of $11 a month for a managed VOIP service that offered all this kind of thing; it came with ‘a landline number’ that could be forwarded to multiple phones with or without rules, voicemail etc. etc. You could even set up a ‘dial x for Dave’ type thing. Find one of the nerdier VOIP companies, I bet they can do all this.

i haven't tried the ms teams setup (despite my company having shifted full to teams) as i'm not issued a work cell phone, and i'm not using my personal cell phone for work stuff. however i have talked to people with company issued phones that have their work voip # setup to fwd to their phone through teams, and everyone says it works well. however i'm not sure this option is available through the free version of teams.

When we moved offices we got rid of our desk phones and do everything through Teams. It rings to my laptop because I refuse to install Teams on my personal phone. But I can have it forward to my cell number and that works well.

If you go VOIP please don't buy Gigaset phones, I forgot how much Siemens disliked logic.
