All those apps

I was getting thoroughly irritated. Whenever I tried to take a photo with my mobile phone, I got the following message:

Storage Almost Full
You can manage your storage in Settings.

Every. Single. Time. By the time I opened Settings, discovered I didn’t know what to do there, then went to my photos, deleted 50 or 100 of those, then back to my camera, the moment was long gone. (None of this made any difference, by the way. As soon as I went to take a photo, I got the Storage Almost Full warning again. Garrrr!)

What if you were offered a bigger house for free? Would you take it? Of course you would! Even if you were perfectly happy with your current place, you could always use more space, another bathroom and perhaps even a better location.

In a study on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunking, VoIP research and reviews firm Software Advice ran a survey on the factors behind selecting a SIP provider. SIP trunking is comparable to a phone line that people use to connect local and long-distance calls over a business Internet connection.

The survey was comprised of 30 questions and over 200 responses were received from seasoned IT managers who had implemented SIP trunking within their organization. According to the survey results, the biggest factors when choosing a SIP provider were security, support quality, and pricing.

As the world gets more plugged-in, small businesses are expected to be reachable at any given time. In order to meet the demands of customer expectations, businesses need to have a reliable, affordable phone system. That's why so many small businesses have turned to VoIP for their communication needs. With a VoIP phone system, your business would not only display a professional image but a dependable presence as well.

Here's how a Small Business Phone System helps you stay connected...

If you’re a Voxox user, you’ve been making free phone calls. But have you ever wondered how Voxox can provide such a valuable service at no cost? When you use a traditional phone service, you can imagine little electrons of your voice being carried up a telephone pole, over some wires and then down another telephone pole to the person at the other end.

When it comes to selecting a small business phone system, many business owners are already pretty familiar with VoIP. VoIP (or voice over internet protocol) might be the next big thing in terms of an affordable and accessible phone service, but there are still many who are skeptical of the advantages. Much of the skepticism stems from misconceptions about VoIP.

Hipster trends

A couple of years ago, I bought a record player for a hundred dollars. In the ensuing months I went on a vinyl binge that got me thinking I was pretty hip. I hit every record store in town, carefully examining each record for scratches, even making the shopkeeper play them in the store before I made a buying decision. A few months later, the record player started malfunctioning, with the turntable slowing intermittently, and my brief hipster fantasy came to an end.

In order to keep up with competing businesses, it’s crucial to small business owners to constantly look for advantages and ways to decrease spending costs without sacrificing quality. VoIP is a popular option for many small businesses because it costs significantly less than traditional phone services without sacrificing features. Reliable, strong, and with a plethora of features, VoIP has gone from a relatively unknown method of communication to being one of the standard options that businesses have available to them.

So you’re a business owner who wants to send a newsletter to your customers, announcing a new product or promotion. You have an entire list of clients you want to send your promotion to but no way of tracking who you sent it to or when. Thankfully, there are free and paid email service solutions designed to help you do just that. 

It’s starting. The “buy-polar” craziness of the holidays. One minute we run up against an Ebenezer Scrooge, the next minute a Bob Cratchit crosses our path.

The culmination of an entire year gets stuffed into a single month, punctuated with decorating, shopping, visiting and stressing, and each year we get through it somehow. During all of this merry upheaval, we need to remember what the season does best — it fosters human contact.
