Re: How important is a phone number?

I had an internet based business a few year ago.  I did not list my  phone 
number, only my address.  If they wanted to contact me.. they would  email mail 
me privately and they could give me THEIR phone number.  And I  would contact 
them.  FYI

There  are a good number of companies on my catalog list that don't have
phone  numbers. I personally think it sends a message of reliability if
you have  one, but if your web site has a prominent "Contact Us" page
with your  address (both street and email), and you are prompt at
answering email,  then not having a phone number shouldn't be a major
problem. I think so,  anyway, not being a business owner I might be way
off course. 
I don't  list a company on my web site if they won't give me a mailing
address. And  there are a few of them that won't. That seems very
fly-by-night, but IMO  not having a business phone number is
understandable for a small business  run out of your home, especially in
these internet days.
