Is Virtual Voice-Mail For You?

I often consult business owners who are just starting out with a home-based business. They are often unsure whether to use their home phone number, cell phone number, or get an extra phone line. I often recommend a little known service called virtual voice-mail. With virtual voice-mail, you get a phone number, but it doesn't ring anywhere. Just like any voice-mail, you record an outgoing message, your callers can leave you messages, and you can retrieve those messages any time by calling into your mailbox. Many services even allow you to log into your account online and listen to your messages on your computer. Plus, they are very affordable at about $10/month, and often don't require a deposit or start-up fee. Many of these companies even allow you to pay via pay pal, which means you don't have to worry about giving out your credit card number.

The only drawback I can think of is that it doesn't connect to an actual phone line, so you can't answer it if you wanted to, but here are some reasons why I think virtual voice-mail is a great option for many start-ups:

  • Avoid the expense of getting another phone line

  • You shouldn't take business calls at home if you have potentially screaming kids or a barking dog in the background

  • Using a cell phone is less professional

  • Your outgoing message will include your company name and will be more professional than a cell phone our answering machine message

  • You can retrieve messages, and return calls at your convenience

You can find some companies that provide this service by doing a search for "virtual voice-mail" online. This may be a service that can help you get off the ground!

Benefits of Using Satellite Internet

Satellite internet is the latest way to access the World Wide Web. It comes in three variations, a multi-cast one way version, a one way satellite internet connection with a terrestrial return and V-Sat. The type of internet that you select needs to be based on what you use your internet access for and if you have access to a phone line.

Satellite internet is a great solution for people that are on the go. Truckers, people who travel for business, or people who spend a lot of time on the road can all benefit from using satellite internet. However, when people go shopping for a truck satellite antenna they may pick up the wrong items. There are two different types of truck antennas. One is for satellite radio, while the other is designed for linking up with the Internet. Make sure you know the difference before you go shopping.

The term wireless satellite internet is not entirely interchangeable with satellite internet. However, both connect you to the Internet in the same manner, via a satellite uplink. However, wireless satellite takes advantage of Bluetooth technology to connect multiple devises to the Internet without wires, cables or other tethering devises. Wireless internet is a great option for RVers, businesses that have staff in the field and for people who want to connect more than one computer to their internet service.

In order to take advantage of the benefits offered by satellite internet you need to purchase and install all of the dish components. Every internet service provider is going to require different dish components, however, you can generally expect to purchase a dish antenna, a transceiver, various cables, a dish harness and platform, a modem and special software. If you plan on using a one way satellite internet program with terrestrial return then you will also need a phone cable and an active phone line.
