Hope you had a fantasticChristmas. I was wondering what others uses for their telecommunications needs. Assuming you are a smallbusiness working from home.
Telephone: Do you use land line, home ordedicatedbusinessesline? Just a mobile number? Or do you have a VIOP line?
Broadband: Do you have dedicated business broadband or do you just use the homebroadband?
Fax: Do you have a fax machine? Have you tried a virtual fax service?
I askbecauseI am in the process of review my own and would like input from others on what works well for them, what is good value and of they have had any problems with anything.
Following the wholly, necessarily and exclusively rule I have dedicated phone lines and internet... I now work from an office but this is the same setup that I had when I worked from a dedicated office in the house.
Telephone: Do you use land line, home ordedicatedbusinessesline? Just a mobile number? Or do you have a VIOP line?
Dedicated mobile and landline
Broadband: Do you have dedicated business broadband or do you just use the homebroadband?
Dedicated broadband.
Fax: Do you have a fax machine? Have you tried a virtual fax service?
I use an HP Officejet 5610 all in one printer (print, copy, fax). Often copy documents to the pc then email with document as an attachment rather than sending a fax per se.
PC's are also either home or office units.
Well, that's my setup.
Hope it helps,
Shaun.

I use VOIP for my business. I have a couple of lines and a number for each of the local areas I serve. Although my website only shows one, if I am advertising to a specific area I tend to put the number which is more local.
I use my home broadband, for no other reason than it's there and I'm paying it anyway, no point having 2. I also got a great deal a few years ago that no one now could beat.
I don't use a fax, I don't really see any benefits. Like Shaun, I tend to email more and more.
hope that you had a good one and Santa brought you everything that you wanted... Unfortunately I was very disappointed on the Scarlett Johansson front again this year!
Talking fax machines and well off topic a few years ago someone faxed me a copy of a document with all of the important parts highlighted.
Of course, as it was faxed the end result was the equivalent of blanking out the highlighted bits which just came accross as black lines like one of those classified documents that has been censored.

Thanks Shaun, it wasn't too bad. The boys are at an age that Christmas is magical and fun, though I'm glad it's over too.
I remember doing similar with a work document, after highlighting all the important stuff in yellow highlighter I photocopied it for everyone going to a particular meeting. What I didn't realise is that the photocopier couldn't see the highlighter and just ignored it, which meant I had a fun evening.
