What Equipment Do I Need W/ Skype To Set Up A Number To Ring Differently..

here's my basic requirement: I am a one man operation or more correctly, we only need one phone/one answering person at this time. However, I want to have several entities operating off this one phone and ONE PHONE NUMBER (a toll free number). So the idea is that the phone will ring differently when someone pushes a different menu number (sorry don't know the technical term here) Ie. the phone answers: "Hello push 1 for sales, 2 for services, 3 for prodcuts, 4 for troubleshooting, etc." I.e. there is one person answering this phone who will be answering for different entities, I guess the phone will ring differently for each entity. One company says I need a hosted PBX system w/ auto attendant and a menu. Another person there said I could do it w/ an ATA and a phone. So I am totally confused.. I cant afford $50/month for a hosted PBX if that's what it requires. I thought this was a simple concept really. Also can you recommend a product that meets this requirement? I prefer the low end of price spectrum.
