Anyone know of a phone (non-cellular) with a programmable voicemail system?

I just recently printed up a few cards and flyers for my home business. But before I start my advertising campaign I need a phone with a voicemail call-tree. The kind of voicemail where I can assign certain messages to numeric keys. (press 1 for accting, 2 for sales, etc..) Anyone have suggestion on a phone like that?

I've never found a cheap one of these.

hmm I may end up having to order one from online. Oh well it will pay for itself over time.

just buy an answering machine with multiple mailboxes. You can state in your announcement Press 1 for accounting, Press 2 for sales.

You might be better off with buying a server and putting linux + Asterisk on it. Phone systems aren't cheap.

THat's a good idea, you know of any phones with multiple mailboxes? I might just have to go up to Walmart or Officemax and check out their selection.
