It has been less than 150 years since the first telephone was invented. Personally, I can’t think of another device that has undergone more radical changes since its inception. If he were to look at an iPhone today, Alexander Graham Bell wouldn’t even recognize his invention,* let alone understand what a free calling app is!

Bell had a long road ahead getting buy-in from the public and patenting his invention. Fortunately for us, enlightened individuals kept it alive. Today telecommunications is one of the most exciting industries in the world. Let’s take a look at how far we’ve come.

So what have you learned this week? I learned that the @ symbol was close to being deleted from our standard keyboards. It was saved by one Ray Tomlinson who, in 1971, used it in his computer code to send the first email.¹ I can’t imagine a world without @!

You learn something new every day. Sometimes the lessons are hard ones, like chocolate-covered coffee beans actually contain caffeine. They’ll keep you up for days! Other things you learn could just be interesting facts, like former Apple CEO, the late Steve Jobs, worked in an apple orchard after dropping out of college.

Even though your business communication should be simple, a lot of times it isn't. Connecting with potential customers or members of your team shouldn’t be complicated and challenging. With a hosted VoIP phone system, your business won’t have to worry about the problems that come with maintenance or hidden fees. Your VoIP provider would cover the responsibility of maintaining and supporting the phone system, so you could focus on handling your business.  

Here are just some examples of how VoIP simplifies your communication:

An economy lesson — NOT

When it comes to the global economy, I don’t have the foggiest clue what I’m talking about. I watch the people who do know — economists, pundits, newscasters — and when they get happy, I get happy. If they get nervous, I get nervous, even though I may not know why. I only know a little more than nothing about personal economy. I snip coupons, look for restaurant specials (happy hour ones in particular), sign up for apps that give me discounts and join email lists to be notified of deals on my favorite web sites.

When looking at the benefits of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems, it is crucial to identify the specific needs to your small business.

Science is a search for answers. In my case, answering questions I didn’t even ask, let alone understand. Take Professor Stephen Hawking, recently portrayed in the film, “The Theory of Everything.” Professor Hawking states that he has been searching for “a single mathematical equation that will explain the entire universe.” I’m no Einstein, but that sounds like an elegant way of responding to a million questions.

It was like finding hidden treasure. Okay, maybe not quite as lucrative but every bit as exciting. I was buzzing around my Voxox mobile app when I happened to notice the Settings tab. I usually go straight to the Messages tab, since that’s where all the action is — voicemail, text messages, faxes, image sharing, location sharing, et cetera — and I never really took a close look at Settings since signing up with Voxox. This is an area that’s definitely worth exploring.

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!)
