Celebrating National Small Business Week

Monday, June 17th, 2013 at 9:48 AM EST

Small Business Week is an event of national significance, is organized annually by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The 2013 event marks the 50th Presidential proclamation of National Small Business Week.  For me it is a bit like Father’s Day which we just celebrated yesterday, or Mother’s Day. We  don’t really need a special [...]

Show Us What You Got For Fathers Day

Sunday, June 16th, 2013 at 10:42 AM EST

By Jeb  Being a father myself and the victim of some “interesting” Father’s Day gifts I thought it would be appropriate to share and give our own Father’s Day gifts. In that case what better gift could we give our readers then a discount or a free phone number. In the spirit of giving… The [...]

Friday, June 14th, 2013 at 5:23 PM EST

By Stuart Zipper It’s decision time again around my house. Time for the wife to get a new cell phone (not quite as urgent as my need a couple of months ago, after I dropped my old phone in a parking lot and a car ran over it). But these days a new phone involves [...]

Thursday, June 13th, 2013 at 11:37 AM EST

By Jeb I was asked what I really like about iOS 7, this is what I came up with off the cuff. There’s a lot more I’m really enjoying and I’ll probably talk more about it again soon. 1. Control Center. Apple finally allows you to switch on and off wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode and [...]

What Do You Use For Word Processing On An iPad?

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013 at 12:35 PM EST

By Jeb  I’m so sick of looking for a proper word processor for my iPad.  I’ve tried Google Drive, Evernote, Quickoffice Pro, CloudOn, Microsoft Outlook web app and anything else I can get my hands on.  In their defense all these apps are free or were gifted to me.  BUT they’ve all failed me in [...]

I Am Looking For Tips And Tricks For Business Travel

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013 at 6:08 AM EST

Of Dinosaurs And Telephones

Monday, June 10th, 2013 at 7:36 AM EST

By Stuart Zipper Traditional business telephony, a category that now (at least in my book) includes IP-based on-premises phone systems as well as more traditional PBXes, took it on the chin again in the first quarter of this year, according to a recently released report from research house Infonetics Research. In a press release touting [...]

Desktop Phones Not Needed In The Future? I Don’t Think So

Friday, May 31st, 2013 at 10:31 AM EST

By Jeb With the exception of people that literally talk on the phone all day like customer service reps and some salespeople, It seems like there’s less of a need for desktop phones and an increase of smartphones with apps on them to make your cell phone act as your desktop phone. Unlike the PR [...]

Rural Broadband Gets A Big Boost

Thursday, May 30th, 2013 at 6:47 PM EST

By Stuart Zipper With surprisingly little attention the FCC a week ago released almost half a billion dollars – to me that’s a lot of money – to help connect rural homes and businesses to high-speed broadband. The money, some $485 million, came from the Connect America Fund – what used to be the Universal [...]

Customer Disservice

Sunday, May 26th, 2013 at 9:45 AM EST

By Stuart Zipper A week ago I wrote about my broadband service quandary. As some readers may recall, the $20 a month I had been paying my broadband provider was about to soar to $50 (or maybe it was $60, it depended on which customer service person you spoke with). What happened was my customer [...]
