Virtual Office Voip for Business

This is something that I’ve thought about, but never took the time to research and thought you might find this to be of interest if you are in the need of a business voip service. Although they offer unlimited calls for a residential plan, I’ll share one of the options available to satisfy the needs of a business since many of you that blog are also business entrepreneurs! :D

Packet8 Virtual Office offers quite a few options for the business person, and anywhere from a small business need to a larger company with call centers. I’ll get into some details about the system that would be a good one for a small business person to consider, but before I do, here are some basic points about their service and phones to consider:

First off, their system works with your existing high speed Internet connection, so there’s no need to make a change with that. Secondly, their phones are one-touch controls, which are a great benefit for someone who is not wanting to mess with a great deal of multiple step buttons!

Here’s their system I picked to blog about because it would be the closest fit for me as a small business person if I went with a Voip program:

It appears one of their best phone and service programs to consider, which is middle of the road cost-wise, would be their “Unlimited Extension” service. Why would I choose that one? Because it provides unlimited calling to the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom; plus any international tolls to other countries!

For $49.99 a month plus the price of the phone, which is just under $100.00 plus a service activation fee, it certainly seems reasonable for the ability to call so many places in the world, and for unlimited use!

If, on the other hand you needed a Voip service for your business, my preference may not be what you’re would be, so I encourage you to take a look at the large variety of plans and services they have available for Voip. There are close to ten different programs to go with, and what would be a good pick for me, might not be for you! That’s something to consider and some good food for thought, and now I know a bit more about voip service as well!

You Comment We Follow

May 2009 Update: Due to page rank loss from utilizing the “do follow” attribute, we are currently using the “no follow” attribute to regain our lost ground from the Google page rank changes last year. Along with many other bloggers we lost our page ranking and need to rebuild our pagerank before we reactivate the do follow attribute. Thanks for your understanding!

Most of the blogosphere has been saturated with the knowledge of the do follow and no follow attributes, but in case you missed it you may need a handy resource for locating the various plugins or hacks to fix your templates to enable the “do follow” attribute.

Although I haven’t added a graphic display here proclaiming the fact that if you comment we follow, yes my blog does have the do follow attribute enabled! Just a friendly reminder here that we appreciate your comments, unless of course you’re a robot trying to beat the system!

If you’re human, please feel free to post your comments. Please be aware that we have comment moderation enabled, so your comment will not appear immediately, but we do check daily for your comments. :)

Webcam Security to Blog About

Now here’s a great use of technology to blog about! Webcam security home camera provides a great way to monitor anything of concern, or that you need to keep a watchful eye on. Have there ever been the times when you needed to be in two places at once? Maybe at your computer finishing up some work, but your kids insist in playing where they’re out of your sight or hearing distance? This would be a great way to keep an eye on them for that added piece of mind.

Or, in my case for a psycho-dog. Yeah, we have one of those! This is one way I would use one of these security cameras! One of our dogs is an escape artist, and although they’re quite spoiled with indoor access from a dog door into our utility room, there’s times when our female dog manages to use the doorknob to escape from the utility room! There have been many times that we would have liked to catch her on camera to see how she does it – lol.

Another way I would use one of these cameras would be of course for security issues. Our neighbor just had their car broken into last week and it would be an added piece of mind if we had the ability to have our vehicles in our driveway watched overnight. Or, my husband will need to clear out his workshop so we can park our cars in the garage.

The webcam home monitoring made easy service certainly appears to be easy to use, plus it’s free during their beta program so that’s a good time to give it a try! To begin you simply download the Windows webcam software, and then login to your HomeCamera account to select your monitoring options. You can even monitor your webcam action from your cell phone, or email!

To use the HomeCamera service you don’t even need to buy an expensive camera since it works with most web cams, and you can access the service from anywhere in the world! This would be a great benefit to a parent who really needs to get a chance to go on a trip, but isn’t that comfortable leaving the kids at home with a sitter overnight. That would certainly eliminate any concerns if you could monitor your child!

One last reason why they’re beta free program is something to consider. When they switch over to the paid service, they will not delete a beta members account even if they don’t convert over right away to the paid service! They will also offer special pricing to the beta HomeCamera users, so that’s something to keep in mind.

I wrote this post because it looks like they’re service is a good one to consider, and I was asked by HomeCamera to indicate the fact that my information about their service is fair and impartial. If you’re in the need of a webcam security camera that you can monitor from anywhere in the world, it’s worth checking them out!
