Ooma no more phone bills

For a few months now I have been pondering on whether or not to take the plunge and buy Ooma™. I have done a lot of research and I have read a lot of reviews on this product. Today I finally bit the bullet and purchased it.

I purchased it at Best Buy as I am not one to order online and wait for it to arrive. Best Buy is a reseller of the Ooma™ phone system.

I never have to pay for another phone bill again. This includes local and long distance calls. I am paying almost $ 60.00 a month for local and long distance service now. I will have this system paid off in 6 months as I also kept my home number and upgraded to the Premier version.

The Ooma™ system works with my high speed internet system and my current home phones.

No monthly fees! Read what other’s think – read user reviews at Amazon.com.

I have made a few calls and received a couple of calls and the quality is just as good as to what I had before. Actually I went outside with my portable phone and I was able to walk further away from my house than ever before.

i would like to thank Kristal Kraft who read my Twitter post a few months ago and purchased Ooma™ and told a group of Realtor® Cyber Professionals™ at this years meet up how pleased she is with it.

That sealed the deal for me. So I would highly recommend you check it out.

OutlookOk, so you use Microsoft Outlook Calendar and you are away from your computer for a few days and you receive a message that your very important client called and needs to change your next appointment with them as they are getting ready to board a plane. They would like you to confirm that you can make the new appointment asap.

Ocean HouseYou are away with family for the weekend and you don’t have your laptop so you find an internet cafe so you can access your email and now you can access your Microsoft Office Calendar on your Google account using Google Calendar.

How you ask? Easy as pie. Right before you left you synced your Outlok Calendar with your Google Calendar and now you can see exactly what your upcoming events are for the rest of your life without being at your primary computer.

I just went on my GMail acount to see if I had any faxes as I was setting up another computer to download to Outlook.

That is when I noticed the new red bar at the top of my Google account that read Sync with Microsoft OutlookTM calendarNew. I clicked on it and had my Microsoft Outlook synced with my now new Google Calendar. It took all but 3 minutes to do.

Give it a try you just might be able to save a customer or client because you were the first to respond quickly.

This website/blog is written on a WordPress platform and that is why I am talking about image alignment in WordPress here.

I was reading Cheryl Johnson’s post WordPress-Image-Alignment-In-Code and thought that was a good way to align pictures. However, when I went to add another theme to my already list of twenty thousand themes in my wp-content themes folder I found a pretty slick way to make the images align a different way. I have learned a lot by going to Chuck Pearson’s blogsite.
