Seeking VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS BY THE MINUTE.

The basic idea is I can call and they'll be an admin, doing tasks such
as logging in to my email or a website and reading that do me when I'm
on the
road, create a powerpoint, make travel reservations, web research etc.

So, I'd like to find about five virtual assistant companies (or at least one!)
-- with a US phone number 
-- preferably open 24/7 or at least late
-- with no or very small monthly minimum (i.e. no 8 hours per week
minimum as I've seen)
-- billed in 1- or 5-minute increments (so I can call while on the
road and have them do something briefly for me with no huge hourly
charge)
-- with the hourly fee as part of the listing (so I don't have to call
around and check rates)
-- preferably less than $30 an hour during peak hours (perhaps more off-peak?)
-- with a list of what each company does

I think companies which normally answer telesales calls might be
willing to do this and sometimes work on a per-minute basis.

If you know of even one such company, and it works out that they
really do the trick, I'll pay 2/3 the fee in that case.

I have no idea how to price these questions ... is what I'm offerring low-ball?

Thanks!

I'd pay for just a single firm doing this if the hourly is less than
$50 and the minimum charge is $5 or less (for a 1-minute call for
example).

Thanks!

Infone may be useful, except for actually doing the powerpoint...
www.infone.com ... They are 89c for 15 minutes, and 5c/minute after
that.

Infone can't grab a phone # off a web page, or do internet research,
or log into my email, etc., although they sure should!
