Networking Now

Wow, that is a serious bit of kit! Thought you were working from a home office? Do you really need that much phone for your money? Also that phone wont move around the house with you when you go make coffee etc. Mine fits in my jeans pocket and goes everywhere with me.

I never said i would be buying, well maybe but if i do i certainly think i would make the most of all the features as i always do (gadget geek me) but need to review the VoIP service,costs, rates etc more first i think.

For those that asked about my VOIP package here is the link http://ow.ly/BmSs = it's not me selling this by the way, just who I use.

here are some great examples of answer phone messages, why not try one on your phone ...............

Hi, this is Diane and Daniel's machine. They're into S & M, so they're a little tied up and a bit whipped. When they've managed to unwind all the kinks, I'm sure they will return your call. If you're in the mood for some extra pain, please don't hesitate to let them know so they can return the favor. They'll have something very special for your listening pleasure when they leave a message on YOUR machine. (thanks to Darlene and Don)

Hello, you have reached 987-6543. Please press 1 for English, 2 for English, or better yet: call back when you speak English! (thanks to Kathy Ziemer)

Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call even sooner!

Hi! This is Jim. If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my bank, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.

My lover and I can't come to the phone right now but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished.

Hello. I am Bill's answering machine. Who or what are you?

Hi! Jill's answering machine is broken. This is her refrigerator. Please speak very slowly and I'll stick your message to myself with a magnet.

Hello! You are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need a magazine subscription, windows or a hot tub, and their carpets are already clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their pictures taken. If you're still listening, leave your name and number and they will get back to you.

This is not an answering machine. This is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number and your reason for calling, and I'll think about returning your call.

Hi! I'm probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message and if I don't call back, it's you.

Hi! This is Frank. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message and then wait by your phone until I call you back.

Hi! If you are a burglar, we're probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and can't come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren't home and it's safe to leave a message.

Hello! You've reached Jim and Cathy. We can't pick up the phone right now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Cathy likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right, real slowly. So leave a message and when we're done brushing our teeth we'll get back to you."

These words are lovely dark and deep, but I've got promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, so leave a message at the beep.

Now I lay me down to sleep; Leave a message at the beep. If I die before I wake, Remember to erase the tape!

Hello, this is Jack. Unfortunately I can't answer the phone right now because I've just come back from the Mirror Worlds and I'm still made up of antimatter, so if I were to pick up the phone right now, the resulting energy release would make Hiroshima look like a wet firecracker. So leave a message at the tone and I'll get back to you as soon as my component particles have been restored to their normal charges.

You have reached 555-6238. Why did you call?

This is you-know-who. We are you-know-where. Leave your you-know-what you-know-when.

You have reached 234-1243. This is an answering machine. This is the new millennium. You know what to do.

Surprisingly, you have reached the number you have dialed. Please leave a message after the beep.

This is a boring answering machine message. Leave a message anyway.

So long as phones can ring and eyes can see, So leave a message, and I'll get back to thee.

This is 234-3249, and no, it's not Tony's Pizza. It's not the beauty shop either, and no one named Pamela lives here. You can leave a message though.

Hi. Do you ever feel, like, your head is full of sand, not your regular loose sand mind you, but compacted sand, and there were like bugs or something jumping up and down on the compacted sand? Well, sometimes I do. Leave your message.

This has to be my choice as i have a friend named Jim and this is just like him to have this type of message.

Mine would be something along the lines of:

Ironicly this is an answering machine, if you wish to speak to an electronic device and in basic form; a machine; then please hang up as you have issue's and i am not the person to help, if you belive yourself to be sain then I already have your number, if not call 118 118, they have all the answers and not me.

If you are still listening, you are a sales person and i certainly do not wish to speak with you, good bye.

*BEEP, BEEP*

Answer Machine is now full, appologies for any inconvenience caused.

Haha yeah!

The best that ever caught me out (and continued to do so) was , "hey you, one sec its loud here, how the hell are you? etc etc" only to find out its an answer machine haha!

Just trying to work out some Java Search code, arrrggggghhhhh, did you sort your voip out?

All of this is pre-planning for the new year, saving hard at the moment for the Creative Suite Master Collection 4 (£2.2k to £2.5k)

once i have this and the phone system in place i am set to begin trading.

not long now,

once i start i have around six further projects which i plan to role out within 24 months after.

with anual projections ranging from £30k / year on the first project to the big project i am self tutoring for at the current moment of my CMS, Feature rich website with year 3 projections of £500k / year, year one does not look to bad either at £156k.

exciting times ahead.

Excellent!

I like the sound of that Steve, nice to see you know what you are heading at, and the CS4 suite is worth its weight in gold, make no mistake!

Hi
What Helen says is spot on. I have just set up a VoIP system as I will be moving to France soon but still want a UK number for ease for my clients. Skype, whilst great for certain things, is more limited - for starters it is not a phone company, it is a piece of software which you use on your computer. One important downside to Skype is that you can not dial 999.

I have to say that the whole VoIP system was very easy to set up and my husband was able to buy the Siemens phone at a great price from an internet site (not via our VoIP provider who will pre programme your phone for you ready to use, but obviously charge you for that) and set it up himself with no problems.

In business I would definitely say that you need VoIP and not Skype

Hi Katherine, (Global Assistant)

Thank you for this further advice sounds as though the VoIP services as recommended by yourself and Helen will be the new system being invested in shortly over the initial Skype idea.

Thank you for all of your help regarding this Helen / Katherine and also for the links provided, this is appreciated and will not be forgotten.
