How an Internet Phone Number Helps Transform Your Business

It has been said that technologies allow jumping forward. One of those technologies is the internet phone numbers. About sixty years ago President John F. Kennedy uttered his famous phrase “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.” This has held true no matter where you look:  athletes getting stronger to telecommunication getting faster than ever before. Voice Over IP (or VoIP) has allowed businesses

How To Grow Your Small Business

A virtual phone number is the soil in which the seeds of businesses grow. This has never been truer, more so in an ever digital world.  Not that we’d presuppose the important role that a virtual phone number plays in growing businesses is tragically overlooked by many small business owners. Your phone number itself is often overlooked, just seen as some sort of ethereal thing, not even a tool to use- just something that you pay some money for each

The magic of toll-free numbers

When I was a kid my mother used to say “magical, magical, magical, poof” before doing a simple magic trick. As a child, I had no knowledge that you could not literally pull rabbits out of hats, so I was amazed, assuming that “magical, magical, poof” was some sort of whimsical phrase which could actually make magic happen. As an adult, I, unfortunately, know that I was a bit mistaken -- phrases can’t make magic happen. But with an 855 area

Managing the Small Business Roller Coaster with Call Recording Technology

Running and operating a small business is a lot like riding a rollercoaster. Oftentimes, things start slow: a lot of clicking and clacking as you steadily get higher and higher off of the ground, rising, and then suddenly…BAM. A fall, another rise, twists, and turns; sometimes you might feel ill, and sometimes the chaos may make you feel a little bit dizzy (though admittedly, unlike when riding a roller coaster, you’ll hopefully never end up upside down). Now, all of

Living in a Virtual World: The Benefits of Building Your Business Around a Virtual Phone Number

Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, famously (or should we say, infamously) declared in 1998 that the internet would have an effect on the world economy which would ultimately be “no greater than a fax machine’s.” A little over twenty years later, we can safely say this is not the case (and hey, we all make mistakes- even Nobel Prize-winning economists). Since that time, businesses have increasingly transitioned to the digital space. Hungry people place orders for pizza delivery using apps

Toronto Phone Numbers

There are tons of options when getting phone numbers. This was already a fact when the internet was young, but now that we are about a fifth of the way into the twenty-first century, it has become exacerbated by globalization and the slow melting of international borders. Deciding how to pick what is best for your small business is difficult, especially in a metropolis like Toronto. You have to weigh so many different (and sometimes competing) needs and factors: price, type

Landline vs VoIP

Whether you are starting a brand new business or you are looking at making some changes to a business you have run for a long time, it is never a bad idea to think long and hard about every decision- top-down, bottom-up. One of those decisions which are of particular importance is to decide what sort of telephone system you are going to provide yourself (and therefore your business and your employees) with: a landline telephone, or a VoIP telephone

Your long time and large Business Phone Service Provider (like Bell, Rogers or Shaw, etc.) notify you that a substantial rate hike on the upcoming contract renewal of your legacy business lines.
