The Blackberry Curve 8300 Not For Everyone

By Christopher L. Grant

Anyone who is in the market for a new Blackberry might be intimidated at first when looking through the selection of phones they have to offer. There are many phones in the Blackberry family. While each phone might not be better or as good as the last, the RIM Blackberry Curve 8300 is clearly geared towards people who would use the phone for business as opposed to casual phone users. With its lack of media streaming and video recording capabilities this is a great phone for anyone looking to use it solely for business with its amazing corporate applications.

The Blackberry Curve 8300 hundred features a full QWERTY keyboard, which has become a staple of the series. Unlike previous models the keys are spaced farther apart, this is very comfortable. One of the more useful features found on the phone is an automatic spell check. It scans all the messages, texts, emails, and memos you send for spelling errors. This is very useful for anyone sharing important business information to their superiors or coworkers. No one would want to send out messages containing accidental spelling errors. Making the phone even easier to use is the new trackball, which moves very swiftly and smoothly.

Most large organizations have an account on the Blackberry Enterprise Server. Anyone using a Blackberry Curve 8300 will have access to large amounts of electronic corporate documents as well as receive corporate email. Not only that but anyone using their company's enterprise server can also use Microsoft Office. With being able to use Microsoft office on their phones a person can open and edit Word documents, Excel sheets, and even Power Point presentations on the go.

The phone is lacking any video or audio streaming capabilities. The absence of any media streaming function is a big disappointment because of the expansive service found on V cast. The phone can still function as an MP4 player. By inserting files onto the phones 64MB flash card you can listen to music and even watch videos. Without the support of any 3G features the web browsing suffers. Load times can be quite annoying and take a while to load completely.

The camera on the phone is sufficient. For any business person using the phone the camera might feel tacked on but it does offer a small variety of image capturing options as most camera phones do. The phone also lacks any video recording capabilities which again if you are using this phone in a corporate setting then the feature will not be missed.

If you want a phone that will help you with your business needs the RIM Blackberry Curve 8300 is right up your alley. Everyone else might want to steer clear. In this day and age phones can do anything and everything the heart desires, the average person might be disappointed with this phones lack of media sharing.

The Rules of The Game In The Telemarketing Industry

By Pedro Turriago

SafeSoft Solutions offers powerful predictive dialer solutions that can help you improve your revenues, raise funds, gather survey information, develop political support and much more. In order to do this you need to understand the rules and regulations that are enforced by the Federal Communications Commission or FCC and the Federal Trade Commission or FTC. So before you begin, there are two acts of congress that you should be familiar with.

Knowing these rules and regulations is not that difficult or time consuming. Surprisingly however, many companies operate in ways that are governed by these laws and never consider their impact. It is not unusual for a company to think of these laws as made for the telemarketing industry and not for us.

First is the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act. This legislation defines telephone based business fraud and gives consumers protection and defense against unscrupulous business activity. The TSR or Telemarketing Sales Rule is a document that will help you understand what is considered unlawful by the FTC.

The second is the Telephone Consumers Protection Act or TCPA. This legislation regulates the use of outbound automatic telephone dialing systems, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, FAX machines and it creates a Do-not-call (DNC) list for consumers.

Here is a quick review to get you started toward a full understanding of the DNC list, do not consider this list a complete understanding of the TCPA or DNC;

The DNC covers calls made within your state and outside your state The database is maintained & administered by the FTC The FCC and FTC will coordinate DNC enforcement Consumers can register residential and wireless numbers DNC numbers no longer expire after 5 years of entry State-administered do-not-call lists must also be used Company-specific do-not-call lists must also be used B2B calls are not covered by the DNC Tax-exempt nonprofit organizations arent subject to the DNC list Calls regarding political and religious speech arent subject to the DNC list Calls regarding surveys arent subject to the DNC list Consumers on the DNC can receive your calls if they request it in writing Consumers on the DNC can receive your calls if you have an established business relationship within the last 18 months

Consumers on the DNC can receive your calls if they have inquired or applied to your business within the last 3 months

Businesses calling for tax-exempt organizations are subject to the DNC list The DNC covers all calls to consumers for the purpose of telemarketing, telephone sales or telephone solicitation not just those made from automatic dialers, predictive dialers, FAX machines or broadcast message machines. DNC data for up to five area codes annually is free, after that you must pay $54 per area code up to a maximum of $14,850. You must refresh your DNC data every 31 days.

Overview of English

By Justin Kander

Due to shifts in global power, English has become a global "lingua franca", perhaps the first in human history. Nearly everybody in the Western world is taught English as their primary language, and Eastern countries teach English as a second language. Anybody who comes in to this world can quickly see how important English is to humans.

If one wants to see the prominence of English in society, they need only look at the industrial world. In textbooks of all sorts, English is the primary language used. No matter what country you go to, the industrial texts are bound to have some amount of English in them.

English certainly is the most prominent language of the Earth, but it is not the language most people learn when they are born. This is because China has a massive population, and their native language is Mandarin Chinese. Since most of them learn English as a second language, English is still either the first or second most spoken language in existence.

English had a long evolution, starting with Old English in the fifth century. Old English was so distinct that it seems like a different language, but one can see subtle similarities to modern English in it. The most famous work written in Old English was the epic tale of Beowulf.

Old English met its end around the middle of the 11th century when the Norman Conquest started. Due to the new peoples inhabiting England, the language began to change in the midst of all the influence. Most people are familiar with Middle English because of Geoffrey Chaucer's work The Canterbury Tales.

For a short period of time, a type of English known as "Early Modern" came about. Some people are under the misconception of Shakespeare using Old English, just because it sounds weird, but he actually used a unique English called Elizabethan. After the time of Shakespeare, the true modern English came about.

As with all languages, English is continually evolving, with some words being stricken and new ones being added. In ones lifetime, it is difficult to see any drastic changes in a language, but over a long period of time, the vast changes are apparent.

It has only been recently that English became so prominent, so there is always a chance that another language could overtake it. Due to the prominence of English speaking countries such as the United States and England, it is unlikely that anything like this will happen in the near future.

Mobile Phone Deals - Tips For Landing A Better Deal

By Waseem Afzal

You probably took time to shop around to get a great deal on your sim free mobile phone before you ever signed a contract on it. The only problem is that now you have the same pink mobile phone a couple of years later. You probably even still are with the very same deal. The good news is that there are probably some better deals available from your company or another phone company.

When you get near the end of your contract, it is a great time to negotiate. Study your monthly bills and see what part of the contract is costing you the most money. Figure out the lowest number of minutes you need every month. Then figure out what new sim free phone you want. Once you know those things, you are ready to negotiate.

After almost two years, if you have been a good customer then the cell phone service provider will definitely want to keep you as a customer and they will be willing to make you a deal to get you to sign up again. But you will only get a deal if you ask. They don't just give away new pink mobile phones unless they have to.

Since you have done the research, you know what you want to get. Now it is time to find out what they are willing to offer. Even if there is a local store, you are better off starting your negotiations on the phone with the call centre. This way it makes it easier for you to tell them what you want and get off the line if they do not agree. If you are in the store already, it will be tougher for you to walk away from the offer since you are already there with a new phone in hand.

Once you make the call, make it clear that you have been looking at what other companies can offer you and their plans and phones. Then ask the company if they can beat other offers. Just remember if you don't ask, they won't offer anything to you.

If you really need another sim free mobile, then you need to let the company know what they need to do to get your business. Review all the plans they offer and pick one that will fit what you need. Then even see if they will throw in some free extras like texting or some minutes to the plan too.

In many cases they will go ahead and agree to giving you a better deal. It especially works if they think you are going to leave. So be sure that you take advantage of the opportunity at the right time. You will have to wait two years to do this again.

Wait until the very end of the contract to try and negotiate with the cell phone company. If you try doing this before then, cancelling will cost you a lot of money and the company will be pretty sure that you will not actually cancel the plan. This means they won't give you a deal. So, remember these ideas and use them to get the deal you want.

Learn New Languages through an LMS Online

By Pat Broker

Despite the burgeoning implementation of LMS online language courses in school districts, the U.S. Department of Education reports that out of every 100 college credits taken in the U.S., only 8.6 are for a language class. On the other hand, a recent Eurobarometer survey tells us that about 56% of Europeans have at least one second language. It's an unfortunate truth: the U.S. places far behind other countries in second-language acquisition.

The U.S. is one of the most materially privileged countries across the globe, with access to the best and newest technology. Taking that into consideration, it's baffling that more Americans aren't challenging themselves to acquire a second language, taking advantage of the spectrum of language resources such as face-to-face and online tutors, and university and LMS online language courses.

Of course, LMS online language courses are in a category of their own. Unlike many other topics which survive on paper, language needs to come off the page, into the student's head, and out of the mouth--often.

The repetition of words and phrases is a requisite to any language course. And although an online course can ask learners to listen to and repeat sounds and phrases, without anyone there to listen, a student may not be pronouncing correctly. Therefore, a blended learning environment works best for language acquisition. The best e-learning, after all, is most effective when coupled with in-person teaching.

When well-maintained, an LMS online language course is effective. Particularly for high schools, LMS online language courses help solve many problems facing schools today, such as: scant language course offerings, language teacher shortages, a lack of interest in traditional language acquisition, the rise in home-schooling and lack of AP classes in some areas, and the lack of physical space and funding.

Practicing a language online with other students is especially helpful for shy students, but it benefits everyone by making them feel more comfortable practicing. Language students have a range of collaborative tools available to them online in the form of screen and audio recordings, LMSs, podcasts, VoIP services and discussion forums.

You Should Know About Hosted Exchange

By Gregory Stevenson

Have you ever thought about becoming a hosted exchange reseller? If you haven't thought about it before, hopefully this will get you thinking about it. The biggest benefit of becoming a reseller is the ability to increase revenue because you can resell them at a much higher cost.

One great benefit of reselling hosted exchange is the low financial risk involved. There is no upfront fees or investment to start selling. Normally, the providers of the services charge you once you have customers in the system and using the service.

Many people might think that in order to do this, you would need some technical experience or knowledge. This is simply not so. The operator of the data center which hosts your exchange system is responsible for maintaining all of the hardware and network infrastructure. If there are any problems at all, they are forwarded to the person or company who own the mail server.

What makes hosted exchange reseller beneficial is the fact that it can do both the setting up and as well as managing customers. This consists of a point and click control panel, which the reseller can brand it with his own brand. Using these control panel resellers can manage their clients from one central location.

Another very important thing that you must note is that when you are issued a fully private label hosted exchange, your domain name and your company name will be in the header and footer on the site and control panel. It is seriously your business! The hosting company will bill you directly for each customer that is using your system. You will then bill each customer for the services that are rendered. You can offer your customers both a shared or dedicated hosted exchange server.

Hosted exchange services provide businesses that are small or medium sized to leverage the benefits of a large exchange service without having all the responsibility of managing it in house. This is by far the biggest benefit for those companies who want a email solution, but want someone else to take care of it.

In a nutshell, hosted exchange services offer their customers greater mobility and collaboration among team members. Best yet, it is 100% hassle free! You can count on your system having close to 100% up time and in turn, make your company look more professional!

IPTV Technology - The Top 10 Facts!

By Jason Smythe

Is IPTV technology the way to go or is it just plain old hype?

Below are 10 advantages and facts that you need to know about this emerging technology. This information will help you make up your own mind up and decide if it might be for you.

1. Internet protocol television or IPTV, is an increasingly popular technology for the transportation of data information and Audio and Video (AV), across an IP based digital network. This could include Ethernet, WAN, LAN or internet. Add a set top box (STB) to the equation and AV sources can be streamed across existing networks to PCs or TVs. IPTV can be one to one (Unicast) or one to many (Multicast).

2. Latest research figures show that at present 15.5 million people subscribe to IPTV services - 8.4 million of these subscribers are from Europe.

3. IPTV systems avoid interruption of critical networks by utilising a separate video LAN.

4. IPTV requires broadband Internet connectivity due to the high bandwidth requirements of digital video. Far more control over television programming and the ability to customize it to individual user preferences are possible due to the improved performance that high speed internet allows.

5. The ever popular Free-view channels are delivered without Terrestrial or SAT receivers being a requirement.

6. Films, sport and local content can be added for all important additional revenue in hotels, or offered as a free service to a students.

7. It has been predicted that compared to the present 3.3 million subscribers in the US now, there will be around 12.7 million IPTV users by 2012.

8. AV sources can be streamed across existing networks to PCs or TVs with the addition of set top boxes (STB).

9. Problems that are common in analogue systems such as noise, ghosting, harmonics, reflections, cross modulation etc, are practically invisible in IPTV based networks.

10. Due to its storage facility, IPTV systems allow all programs to be later retrieved from the IPTV network.

A Creative Use of IPTV Technology

A classic example of how IPTV technology is being used in an increasingly ingenious number of ways, is with a luxurious, IP enabled bathroom television. These televisions are the ultimate in bathroom luxury, allowing the viewer safely to watch TV whilst soaking in a bath full of bubbles, or even taking a shower.

These water resistant televisions offer a user friendly solution to the hotels worldwide who are installing digital IPTV networks across their properties. It will no longer be necessary to hide STB's in the void behind the shower or bathroom wall and run a separate IR receiver, but instead deliver TV, Radio, VOD and other services by simply feeding an Ethernet cable into the rear of the screen.

How about that for technology put to great use!

Getting a Grip on Your Telephone Usage

By Jack Spencer

It is amazing whenever you stop and think about just how much the telephone has entered into our lives in recent years. It has enhanced it in many ways but unfortunately, it has also hampered it in a number of different ways as well. The telephone is something that interrupts us on a regular basis and it tends to dictate whatever we are doing at the moment when it does so. If you would like to get control over this area of your life, here are some ways for you to be able to do it.

If there is one thing that you need to get used to when it comes to the telephone, it's the fact that you are in control of the phone, the phone is not in control of you. The unfortunate thing is that all of us tend to pick up the phone whenever it rings, a response like Pavlov's dogs and this is a very controlling thing that takes place.

The simple fact of the matter is, it is your arm and your finger. The telephone does not need to control this part of your body and you need to learn how to not answer the phone, simply because it is ringing. Once you are able to master this simple task of allowing the telephone to go to voicemail, you will be taking a step into a larger world. It is a liberating, and it frees up much of our time which is used talking when it could be used for other things.

When you are on the telephone, you should make sure that that is all that you are doing at that time. Most of us think that we are great multitaskers and we could try to do a number of different things at the same time, even whenever we are on the telephone. Believe it or not, very few people were able to multitask effectively so give the telephone the attention that it deserves whenever you're on it.

Another way for you to use the telephone effectively is to keep in mind that people enjoy talking about themselves. Don't try to dominate the conversation but give them the opportunity to talk every once in a while. It's a great way for you to be considered as a good listener, and people will walk away from the telephone with a more pleasant feeling about you and the conversation that you just hand.

Many of us have to use the telephone regularly in a work environment and it is necessary for us to do so effectively. One of the ways that you can really use the telephone to your advantage is whenever you are leaving a voicemail for somebody. Instead of just leaving a simple name and number, why not think of it as an opportunity to give yourself a pitch of some sort or another. Don't try to sell them in 30 seconds, but warm them up to the opportunity of a sale when they call back to you.

The telephone can either be a great tool for us to use or it can end up being a noose around our necks. Make sure that you use it as it is intended and this piece of technology will be a benefit that will work well for you.

How To Use Magic Jack

By Dennis Whitefield

I wrote this article to help people that want to learn about Magic Jack. I will tell you in detail the best places to buy this device and how to install and use the different options it has. After we are through, you will have a good idea whether you are interested in buying this phone.

The Magic Jack is available to purchase online at places such as the official MagicJack website, eBay and Amazon. You can also buy it now at your local retailers like Best Buy, Walgreens and Walmart. If you can buy it locally, that is probably the best option. Then if you do decide to return it, it is less hassle.

Magic Jack is very easy to install. A few minutes after opening the package you will be talking on your new internet phone. All you have to do is plug it in to a usb port on your computer, wait for the download and that is it. You will be asked some questions during the registration process such as your physical address. You will also be asked to choose an area code.

The softphone screen will always be on your desktop, but you can minimize it. It has a dialing pad, an address book for you and a list of the most recent phone calls you have made or received. It also has links to commonly used websites.

One of the buttons on the softphone screen is for your voice mail. When you purchase your Magic Jack, there are instructions on how to access your voice mail so make sure you keep the packaging until you set it up. You will be given a default password that you should change right away once you have set up your voice mail.

Magic Jack does offer a 911 option, but I really don't recommend depending on it. Too many things can go wrong that could affect you during an emergency. You might have forgotten to change the location address on your softphone screen. It is a good idea to keep another phone as backup for these times.

The other buttons are for helpful places on the internet. They are for Google, Yahoo, Weather.com and AOL. It also has a 411 button, but it does not dial information, it takes you to a phone directory web site.

I've given you the essentials for this new voip phone service. The Magic Jack can save you quite a bit of money on your long distance phone calls. Purchase locally or online and give it a try.

By Terrell Smith

Through this article you are provided an overview of the opportunities that are available to you when it comes t learning the guitar online, including learning finger picking. The fact is that finger picking is one of the more basic techniques that a person interested in guitar can learn. Therefore, lessons online are rather easily accessible.

Now, There are lots of free resources on the web to get you started such as websites like about.com and ehow.com that can help with chords and notes and such. There are also videos on sites like YouTube. Just be wary of the information out there. It can be free, but that doesn't mean that it's quality information that will build you into a well rounded musician. Use your best judgment and you should be fine.

To get some insight into the evolution of flatpicking guitar playing, it might help to look at how Doc Watson, whose guitar playing career began in the nineteen fifties, contributed to the use of flatpicking guitar in bluegrass music. It was simply that the band he was working with did not have a fiddle player and Doc was not able to become a good fiddle player himself. So because he enjoyed fiddle tunes, he simply learnt how to play them on the guitar.

Sit down and play new things on the guitar that you do not know how to do yet. Whether you are trying out new chords, scales, reading an article or guitar magazine, taking lessons; you have to at some point sit down and apply what your head has read, seen, and heard, and actually do it for yourself. This can be a lot more challenging than it seems, because once you sit down and start practicing you will begin to realize just how much there is to learn on the guitar.

MAKE A COMMITMENT RIGHT NOW TO CONSISTENTLY PRACTICE YOUR GUITAR. Now, this is the point where practicing the guitar can be like a diet...it works for a little while, and yet you eventually fall back into the old habits that you are used to. Dieting is not what we want here.

Dig down, dig deep, find your sadness. You can sing the blues. Blues Guitar Lessons SECOND rule: Get a GUITAR Blues accordion players just don't make it big you know? Ever heard of a blues cellist? Me neither.

A simple example is to hold a C chord in the first position and pick the C note on the fifth string, now use your plectrum to strum the other strings. Next, pick the E note on the fourth string and strum the rest of the strings again. Once you have done this a few times you will recognize the familiar bluegrass sound that you hear on CDs emerge from under your fingers.

As rock and roll continued to take over the world in the nineteen seventies, the plectrum-wielding lead guitar player became fixed in the minds of music lovers. This style of guitar playing originated in the nineteen thirties with jazz guitar players like Eddie Lang and Django Reinhardt, and reached a wider audience through prominent guitarists like Charlie Christian, Les Paul and Hank Marvin.

Small Phone Systems Save Big on the Internet

By Adam McFarland

Small phone systems don't need to sell themselves short. It's true that sophisticated top tier phone systems had only been affordable to the larger corporations for a long time, but recent developments in digital technology makes a technologically advanced system more affordable to small businesses, giving them the technological edge they need to compete.

When it comes down to it, small businesses really can't afford not to take advantage of Internet phone systems. Small businesses can gain flexible technology with more capabilities through a high-tech and professional phone system.

In terms of technological flexibility, imagine adding phone lines in less time that it takes to set up an online email account. In fact, you can transfer the entire phone system to a new office building though one simple call to your VoIP provider. Relying on computerized software, Internet phone systems enable simple transfer of service through computer configurations that can be done instantaneously on demand.

How big does your company need to be to benefit from an Internet phone system? How large do you need to be to benefit from serious savings on your long distance bills? Internet phone lines have cost saving benefits for all sizes of businesses, from the top Fortune 500 companies to the small business with a handful of employees. Small phone systems can virtually eliminate their long distance expenses by going digital.

Think about how much your business spends on long distance bills. Really, it's hard to put a concrete number on, considering it will vary month to month depending on the clients you are calling at any given time. Imagine if you could reduce the majority of your long distance expenses to a reasonable monthly fee, only paying a few cents a minute for some long distance calls with many calls costing you absolutely nothing.

VoIP technology makes all your local calls absolutely free, as well as a number of your long distance calls. All long distance calls made within your provider's network are absolutely free, while other long distance calls cost only a 3 cents a minute, and only after you've used up your monthly allotted number of free minutes.

Internet phone service enables you to host a complex PBX top tier phone system through another provider for much cheaper than if you hosted it yourself. Not only can a complex, sophisticated system give you more flexibility and technological options, but it's also more affordable. With hosted PBX, the controls are in your hands, giving you the utmost adaptability when it comes to managing and customizing your own professional system.

Minimize long distance fees while getting the greatest technological flexibility possible. VoIP phone systems level the playing field for small businesses, giving them the advantages they need to be technologically competitive in this digitally advanced world.

Flex Language Muscles with LMS Online Courses

By Andrew Wright

Despite the burgeoning implementation of LMS online language courses in school districts, the U.S. Department of Education reports that out of every 100 college credits taken in the U.S., only 8.6 are for a language class. On the other hand, a recent Eurobarometer survey tells us that about 56% of Europeans have at least one second language. It's an unfortunate truth: the U.S. places far behind other countries in second-language acquisition.

The U.S. is among the most well-off nations on the planet, with access to the best technology. Given this, why aren't more Americans capitalizing on language acquisition resources such as online and in-person tutors, and university and LMS online language courses?

Of course, LMS online language courseware is rather special. Different from other learning topics which maintain their liveliness on the page, language requires out loud practice; sole dependence on online courseware may not work out for many students.

For learning a language, a blended learning environment is really ideal. In order to become fluent, students need to listen to and repeat words and phrases. Although an online course can ask learners to listen to and repeat, pronunciation is something that needs to be coached in person, and from an early point in a student's learning experience. And when possible, it's best to combine face-to-face with online learning regardless of the topic.

When cared for and supplemented by face-to-face training, an LMS online language course can work wonders. In high schools especially, online language is part of the solution to many challenges that schools face, including limited language course offerings, shortages of language instructors, a lack of interest in language acquisition, the rise in home-schooling, and the lack of AP classes, physical space, and funding. During a heightening concern over the nation's school system, schools are prompted to think more creatively about how to maintain the quality of their education.

When required interaction and language practice with other students is online, shyer students may feel more comfortable. Online programs like VoIP services, LMSs, podcasts, instant messaging, and screen and audio recordings are just a few ways language students can apply and practice their second tongues.

Most Popular Conference Phones

By Kirby Whitehall

A vital aspect for any networking business is conference phones. Allowing for real time meetings to take place between distant offices and between your business and clients overseas, conference phones are a must have. Internet communication is a great way to relay information, but it?s not real time, and it can take hours or days to get a response. Individual phone systems are a necessity, but they don?t have the features of conference phones. Conference phones give your business a hands free way to effectively conduct business in a group, with each member of the group able to be heard.

Popular conference phones come with the most up to date features to meet your conferencing needs no matter the size of your business. All conference phones allow active participation by all present at the call and are designed to facilitate instant communication as a group, but they are not all the same. Traditional corded systems, wireless systems, single vs. multi line, audio quality and expandability are a few of the divisions found in the market. Whatever you need for your business, though, you can find. First determine your needs and your budget, do a little research, and then choose the brand of conference phone that is best suited for your business.

Popular brands that produce conference phones such as NEC, Avaya, Panasonic and Cisco IP all provide the best features and will give you a technological edge. Learn the costs and benefits of each brand before you decide, having an idea beforehand the types of features you need and what you can do without.

The NEC MAX conference phone tabletop model possesses full duplex sound, ideal for small offices up to 8 people. Full duplex sound means participants can speak and listen simultaneously without clipping. It is analog wired with speakerphone, echo cancellation, noise cancellation to remove background noises, its 3 microphones offer 360? of range, only activating the microphone closest to the speaker, and up to 3 NEC phones can be added to it when business expands.

The Polycom conference phone from Avaya phone systems is another popular conference phone. It too offers full duplex sound, echo and howl reduction, it possesses a 360? range, and is available in both corded and cordless models, combining style and substance into one attractive phone.

Panasonic, an industry leader, offers its own model of conference phones. The KX TS730S model has full duplex and HiFi quality sound, 4 ultra sensitive microphones with noise reduction, and can record up to 120 minutes of conversation. It has a 360? range and can be clearly heard from up to 10 feet away. It also has a 3.5 mm audio out allowing for MP3, wave file, or cassette recording of communication. It can store as many as 100 numbers 32 digits in length and can store up to 50 numbers in its caller ID memory.

Cisco IP offers the Conference Station 7936, an upgrade from its 7935 model which, in addition to its 3 built in microphones, has external microphone ports so optional microphones can be placed away from the unit, extending the voice range, effectively increasing the microphone radius by 20 to 30 feet. With exceptional voice quality which eliminates echoes and reverberations, it minimizes unwanted background noise and lets conference participants speak while free to move. It has full duplex sound, 360? of range, and a single cable design. It can also be linked via Ethernet connection to your network.

However big or small your business, conference calling is an important way to facilitate group communication nationally or internationally. Conference phones are an important consideration to make because you want the best in communication for your business. Search through your options and familiarize yourself with the different brands and the phones they offer, then pick the one that fits your budget and your needs.

Mobile Gateway Questions

By Pri Vag

Q: What is a GSM Gateway, Fixed Cellular Terminal (FCT), Mobile Gateway or SIM Server? A:It is an intelligent box, which contains a number of mobile SIM cards. It sits neatly in-between your telephone system and your telephone lines. It diverts calls made from fixed lines to mobiles through internal SIM cards, making them mobile to mobile calls.

Q: Who is it for? A: Any company that spends over 2k per year calling mobile phones. It is also used extensively by companies who divert their office phones to their mobiles.

Q: How will it benefit my business? A: The biggest benefit of this product is cost saving. The average cost of a call from a fixed line to a mobile is 9.5p per minute however with a GSM Gatewayl this cost can be cut to an average of 5.5p per minute. A saving of almost 50%. It is also popular as a means to give your business back-up should your landlines fail or become faulty. This way you can always make and receive calls so it becomes part of your risk management because it ensures business continuity. Approximately 25% of all mobile calls are made from your offices. Within your office, the terminal can be configured to work with your company's mobile handsets. Then when someone makes a mobile call in your office, it uses the far cheaper landline network instead.

Q: Who makes the GSM Gateways? A: We only use hardware manufactured by proven mobile manufacturers such as 2N, Novatec, Quescom, Nokia and Ericsson.

Q: Who do I contract with and for what? A: We arrange all contracts for you. You will have one contract with the mobile network for the usage and one contract with us for the supply, maintenance and management of the FCT equipment.

Q: Which mobile networks accept the use of GSM Gateways? A: We have a transparent relationship with Orange and Vodafone for the supply of SIM's in the GSM gateways we provide. We do not under any circumstances provide SIM's on O2, T-Mobile or the 3 network.

Guitar Lessons for Beginners Online: Become a Great Performer

By Marcus Rolle

After you decide the path you want to take to learn (online, self-taught ect..) there's nothing wrong with dabbling in other paths too just to broaden your knowledge and learn a new tip or trick here and there. There are also guitar lessons for beginners online to consider that will usually start you out for free and are a great way to get started. These are great because they're build by well educated instructors and your lesson is there waiting for you each time you log onto your course.

All the great guitarist have struggled at some point in learning to play the guitar. As far as guitar lessons for beginners there are different ways to go, such as a private instructor, signing up for classes at your local community center, self-teaching method with books and online lessons which I recommend because they're cheaper and flexible to a persons schedule. Whichever way you choose be sure to keep in mind there are no "play guitar like a pro in one hour" course. It takes lots of practice and dedication to become a good guitarist.

Third, there are websites in operation online that really are guitar communities. Through these types of websites, you can learn different guitar playing techniques from peers and from other people who have some more experience than you might have when it comes to guitar playing. Through these types of community website venues you can learn a wide range of things, including techniques that are very important to a person who wants to advance with guitar playing like finger picking.

There are tons of great resources on the web for practice, including videos, tutorials, chord finders and much more. A note of caution here though. Learn the whole song. It's pointless just being able to play the beginning, middle or end of a song, and it's also very frustrating in the long run.

Believe me, after changing them a few times, you will start to notice the difference in the quality of sound, between a set of strings that are say, 4 weeks old, and a brand new set. As a beginner, you can probably get away with changing your guitar strings once every two months. Myself, I like to change them at least once a month.

Don't get frustrated at this point. Take a deep breath and take comfort in that you have made the first step in learning how to practice the guitar seriously. What is that first step? The first step is to...

When you are choosing your repertoire, you can spread your net wide. No need to stick to the Top Forty, go for the Top One Hundred of whatever decade you feel comfortable with. An easy way out that does not need too much research is to just jot down a bunch of Beatles titles.

Don't turn your guitar practice time into extended guitar solos. If you have a track of say, six minutes at your disposal, use it to practice licks and short solo breaks, the age of the twenty minute solo is long gone. Also, make use of your backing tracks to improve the basic aspects of your guitar playing like your timing.

Reverse Phone Call Services: Get Information on a Telephone Number

By Beth Dale

An unrecognizable number, continuously showing up on the cell phone, phone bill or caller ID; who could it be? Usually these are wrong numbers, but here are some ways to find out who it is that is constantly nagging you with those unwanted calls.

In the past, doing a reverse search on a land line phone was fairly easy. Going to the phone company's web site and doing a reverse search on a number could get the information on who owned the number; as long as the number was published.

Everyone has cell phone theses days. Cell phones have portable numbers; that way people can keep their existing number while switching phone companies. So that makes it harder to do a reverse phone call lookup because of the large number of unlisted numbers in the traditional phone directories.

The big question is: how to do a cell phone number look up? With today's technology and advanced web sites, it is not that big an issue. Most sites advertise that they can reverse search the number you want for free. Watch out for these free offers as they will take you to the site, but eventually, you will have to pay a certain amount to obtain the information on your number.

These reverse phone call look up companies must maintain a large and growing database of numbers which changes on a constant basis. The maintenance of these number databases calls for ample time and money. So when going to these sites, don't expect a free number look up; it is surely going to cost a well deserved small fee.

Due to the large number of sites that offer the reverse phone number look up service, picking on a particular site that is not a scam is the most important. To do this, make sure the site is tested and recommended, as well as that it does not offer you too much for too little. To be successful with your reverse phone look up stick to the reputable sites.

Find Out What Cellular Phone Services With No Credit Check Can Do For You

By Louis J. Kavinsky

A consumer who seeks wireless service quickly should go to a no credit check provider for inexpensive and hassle free service. The prospect is approved immediately since a credit card, a credit check or a security deposit are no required. This is not the same as prepaid service and it costs much less. Other benefits besides lower cost are convenience, flexibility and no contract. It is excellent for consumers with less than perfect credit history or new immigrants into the US with not enough of it. Even though no financial background clearance is done the consumer must be sure that they can afford the costs.

No credit check cellular equipment and service can be purchased online. The process is similar to ordering wireless from elsewhere. The steps are as follows:

1) Make an account on the no credit check wireless website. (You don't need to create an account in all stores) 2) Browse through the various cell phones, and pick the one that appeals to you most 3) Select a phone plan that is suitable for your phone and that will meet your usage needs 4) Select Activation 5) Finalize your purchase by paying using credit card or Paypal. (Paypal is preferable).

At this point, you will receive a confirmation email from a no credit check wireless agent so that you have a record of your purchase. Your order will be entered into their system and the equipment will be shipped to you. Although this varies from company to company you should be up and running within a few hours although 15 minutes is also common.

Your cellular phone service can be complemented with several add-ons depending on your wants. Examples of add-ons are, internet browsing, roaming and text message bundles. You are free to use these services without a bundle but you will be charged overage fees. Bundles make those services more economical.

Providers of no credit check wireless offer their services on Verizon and Sprint platforms. Those are nationwide and very reliable. Since both networks have many towers, you can be sure you can roam just about anywhere in the US. Overage charges without a roaming add-on are significantly more expensive.

Make sure you buy a roaming add-on before doing an inter or intra State trip. Do not surf the internet if you didn't buy a browsing add-on. Major storms and other events do knock down towers interrupting service in certain areas. Mechanics are dispatched and the issue is fixed quickly.

To find inexpensive cellular phone services that need no credit check wireless, simply go online and type "no credit check wireless" into Google. Once you make your purchase you will receive a confirmation email and a customer representative will process your order. The device will be sent to you via standard or expedited post. If you have your own phone, activation takes from 15 minutes to 4 hours but 15 minutes is much more common. No credit check cell phones make sense for everyone. The cost is low, there is no stress and the customer satisfaction is the same.

Concerned Parents can Track Children With GPS Child Locator Device

By Paul G. Wolf

Every now and again we hear stories on the news and in the newspapers about kids that have disappeared. Fortunatly, most children turn up safe again, but some dont and there is nothing sadder than a parent who experiences the loss of their child like this. The good news is that you don't have to endure something like this because there are ways to avoid lost children with todays technology. I'm talking about a GPS child locator.

Kids GPS widgets these days are diminutive widgets and they are build into watches, cell phones, backpacks; even located directly in the child's clothing.

The child locator will then send out a signal letting you to track the location of the children at all times. You can program the GPS device to send signals at intervals as short as 10 seconds for close to real time tracking of the kids.

GPS technology works great for tracking kids that are at high risk due to child custody issues or similar problems. It is possible to set the widget up so that it will alert you not only to your kids location, but also if the kid leaves a predesignated area or boundary. So you can know if the child leaves their school or the neighborhood playground or pool. Think of the peace of mind you'll have when you know that you can simply log into your computer and instantly know where your child is thanks to the child tracker widget.

Some GPS widgets also come with a panic button that the child can use in case of an emergency. The alarm go not only to you, but also to the tracking service so the authorities can be notified quickly.

Frequently when children are kidnapped the kidnapper will right away get rid of any cell phone the child may be carrying to avoid being tracked. With a small concealed GPS tracking gadget attached to the kids clothing you'll still be able to track them and locate them quickly. You and more importantly the police will know exactly where to locate the kid and this increases the chances they will be found unharmed dramatically.

GPS gadgets for small children can be as small as a watch or pager and they run on rechargeable batteries that last up to 24 hours. If you want something with an extended battery life you can get bigger GPS tracking units that can transmit for up to 2 weeks on a single charge. Older children like teens can have the GPS units placed in their car to keep track of their locations and driving habits.

Some auto GPS units can be programmed to send an alert when the car exceeds a certain speed limit.

While personal GPS units are not inexpensive you really can't put a price on the peace of mind you'll get knowing you can locate your child in case of some emergency. When the safety of the kid is at risk nothing is too expensive. In addition to the cost of the GPS device itself you'll also need to pay a tracking service which will run anywhere from $25-100 a month depending on the service and features. Buying a GPS device for tracking your kid can be a great way to give yourself peace of mind.

Global Sourcing And It's Advantages Over Local Sourcing

By Davina Cruella Sandwich

Manufacturing and then importing from Asia / China can seem daunting, especially if you are a comparatively small business and have never thought about Global Sourcing.

The reality is that yes, it is tough. Just entering southern China (which is recognised world wide as the global production centre of the world) is formidable.

That should not put you off it though. If you can get a good import/manufacture company on the case, you will see the benefits from the first order. There are organisations out there that have great relationships with the best Asian manufacturers, and that really can save you time, effort and money.

It is of the utmost importance when trading with the Asian business world, that you understand their way of doing things, what motivates them and their culture.

By far the best method of achieving this is to get an organisation on board that can take care of it all for you. What you really want is an experienced company that knows the business protocol of the Asian industries. It is also important that your selected company is well known and trusted in the Asian business world, as this will help you to get the best prices available.

Of course the main benefit of low cost country sourcing is the price. Money in the Asian economy is on a much smaller scale, i.e. the pound () is worth much more there than it is here. It is for this reason that they can offer unbeatable prices, while maintaining the welfare of their workers by providing them with a comfortable wage.

Another advantage of this type of production is that it offers you a vast range of supplier resources, which, if taken advantage of, can give you a massive advantage over your competition.

A company that specialises in this area would be an extremely valuable relationship to make. These companies take all the responsibilities of finding good suppliers and manufacturers in very competitive environment.

Why Private Investigators Are a Waste of Money

By Harry Constantine

At some point in our lives, we find ourselves looking for info on a person. Whether it's an old friend or someone you are not so happy about being in your life, background research on who and where they are can be very useful.

Private investigators obviously earn a very good living helping you in this situation. But instead of paying hundreds of bucks for their time and expertise, there may be some better options.

You see, private investigators used to be the original go to people when info was hard to find on people. With the advent of the internet and certain services, information is much easier (and cheaper) to obtain, if you know where to look.

Besides, with private investigators you are paying more than you need to because it's not only their knowledge you are paying for, but also their time.

But the truth is, other options now exist publicly where you can do the investigating yourself and trace people accurately without paying the expensive fees.

The same databases PI use to get information are actually available for you to use online.

This means you can find anyone through a phone number, and get a full set of details on them within seconds. Legally, cheaply and quickly.

The only thing you will still need to do is pay the fee required for accessing such a database of information. But look at it this way - it won't be half as much as a PI would cost.

By cutting out the middleman, you'll get your results faster and cheaper. And when it comes to needing information badly enough, isn't faster and cheaper a tempting option?
