Small businesses, home-based businesses, and self-employed
individuals have been turning to internet telephone service
(also called broadband phone or VOIP) in droves. What is the
attraction? As a self-employed, telecommuting,
small-business-owning freelance writer, I can provide some
insight.

I switched my business to internet phones early in 2005. Despite
a few hiccups, I’m not going back to landlines. Internet phone
service has too many advantages, which I’ll describe for you. I
also have some tips for avoiding possible rough patches.

VOIP Internet Phone Small Business and SOHO Advantages

VOIP Advantage No. 1: Look bigger.

* If your small business has to seem large, a virtual PBX with a
dial-by-name directory might help. These systems cost thousands
to install. But many VOIP companies let you rent this service
for less than a hundred dollars a month.

* Give each member of your team their own outside line. With
most VOIP companies, each line costs around $10.

* Get one or more 1-800 numbers at around $10/month.

VOIP Advantage No 2. Freedom of movement.

* Freedom to travel. When I went to Sacramento to visit a
friend, I ended up extending my stay to a whole month. I
couldn’t have done that without regular phone access. With VOIP,
my Massachusetts number follows me wherever I go.

* Tropical adventures. I regularly work with a virtual assistant
company that takes phone calls on their Quebec phone number
everyday. That wouldn’t be so strange except they’re in the
Philippines. They’re using the same small business VOIP phone
service sold right here in North America. True, VOIP companies
don’t generally guarantee their services will work outside the
country of purchase. But the internet is the internet, whether
in Fargo or the South Pacific. With the growth of broadband to
virtually every non-pariah nation on earth, your second office
really could be in a tropical paradise–or year-round ski
resort. Isn’t that the freedom you hoped being your own boss
would bring?

* Telecommuting. Feel a cold coming? Work from home! With VOIP,
even the receptionist may be able to telecommute!

* Voicemail by email. You don’t have to be by the phone to get
voicemail. This is the perfect service for busy people and email
addicts. Bonus: the message (in a file similar those used on MP3
players) can be stored indefinitely.

Internet Phone Advantage 3. Cost

* Make lots of calls? Many VOIP providers’ unlimited-calling
plans cost just $20 to $80 a month.

* Features such as call waiting, caller ID, hold, call
forwarding, and multiple ring-to numbers are usually costly
extras with landline service. With most VOIP services, those are
built-in features.

SOHO VOIP: Tips for Making it Work for Your Business

SOHO VOIP Tip 1. Test internet phoning out before committing.

Yes, some VOIP connections are so scratchy and patchy they sound
like cell phones. That’s usually because of a problem in the
internet connection. Such problems may not be apparent in
ordinary web browsing and file downloading. Go with a service
that has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Try VOIP out where you
live and work. Make sure to try inbound and outbound calls.

Small Business Internet Phone Tip 2. Phoning from a laptop.

With VOIP telephones, you don’t need a computer. But you can use
your computer as a phone. A piece of software called a
“softphone” uses your computer’s speakers and microphone. If
your laptop is running too many programs at once, calls will
deteriorate. Higher-end laptops shouldn’t have this problem.

SOHO Internet Phones Tip 3. Go with an established VOIP company.

You don’t want to lose your telephone service and possibly your
number. Yet only a few VOIP companies have roots before 2000.
Choose a service with deep enough roots to survive a VOIP
industry shake-out.

Small Biz Internet Phoning Tip 4. Choose a provider carefully
before putting the number on your business cards.

Switching VOIP companies is at least as much of a pain as
switching landline phone companies. In fact, there is typically
no outward number-portability. You can bring a number in, but
good luck taking it with you. Researching in early 2005, I found
no nationwide VOIP services officially offering outward number
portability.

Choose a VOIP provider with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Test
the service out thoroughly. One thing is likely: you may want to
switch VOIP providers, but you won’t want to go back to
landline.

If you’re out for resources on computer viruses, anything got a
lot easier since the takeoff of the ‘net. In the past the only
choice to source ideas on computer viruses was a dictionary or
public library — and we can recall these times pretty good,
can’t we? Not a very comfortable circumstances, am I right? Now
there’s a plethora of data available because the World wide web
is getting bigger and bigger with every single hour. The only
thing we need is a place to begin.

An excellent way to start your research on computer viruses,
especially when you don’t understand something about the
subject, is one of the familiar search engines like Yahoo,
Google or Teoma. Where does everyone end up? Right, people get
zillions facts about computer viruses. As a result people have
to dissect the valuable guidelines from the bad recommendations.
Did you ever come across “internet portals”? Typically they are
an excellent point to begin your analysis. Good news for those
of you who only have limited funds: various gurus on computer
viruses lay down their experience and anything you might hunting
for!

Where would you want to go with your computer viruses matters? A
very good method to come up with qualified tips is to sign up
with a computer viruses group or community. Everyone can get in
touch with institutions or post to a computer viruses forum.
Again, a search engine like Google, MSN or Yahoo assists you to
get things going, just do a search on “computer viruses forum”
or “computer viruses community”.

If you would like to get your computer viruses material
delivered by email, a “electronic magazine (ezine)” would most
likely be a smart choice. You are able to subscribe to an
electronic magazine exactly as you would do with your newspaper.
Mostly they are free, however sometimes the provider of the
ezine charges a fee. If so, you can assume first class quality
advice on computer viruses! On the other hand: why not turn into
a computer viruses professional by yourself and create a
supplementary income stream?

Info products are another idea for people with limited time to
research the Web. Summarized in an ebook or video tutorial
you’ll get a lot of resources you would have spend days to surf
on the World wide web. Life can be a breeze if you have
sufficient money…

Given that you ask for original computer viruses material fast,
recent online resources on the ‘net are extremely beneficial.
Well, now it’s your turn: go and develop into a computer viruses
expert!
