Google Voice + PhoneBooth + Skype + MagicJack + an iPhone

Posted by on Jun 2, 2010 in tech | 0 comments

This is the phone setup the I think is most flexible.

Having google voice is very very powerful. Having a fixed phone number tied to a number of hand held devices is great.
Because of google voice I was able to tie all of my phones into one places, my google voice number.

So when I am on the road, having Skype is great, calling customers.
(The 5115 everyman is the best headset on the market that works with Skype.)

These are the services I use for my phone setup, I think they are very very valuable

Configuring Skype with google voice is a bit tricky, you need to do the following:

I set skype to forward back to my Google number if I’m not on Skype, it works great, I disabled Skype voicemail so if I decline a call it goes to google voicemail and now with this change if my laptop is off and Skype is not running it still forwards to google voicemail.

This is the site that had the fix information.

The services that I use for VoIP are the following:
MagicJack

I found that there are a few

Top Web Conferencing Options

Posted by on May 26, 2010 in tech | 1 comment

DimDim, I recommend them!

  • They are free and great overall to get you started.
  • They do have a conference line that sometimes echos at times.
  • Free unlimited conference line minutes, you can’t beat that!
  • Unlimited free logins!
  • The record feature never seemed to work for me.
  • No downloads, no addon installs!

GoToMeeting, I recommend them!

  • $49.00 per monthly for 1 account.
  • $39.00 if paying annually, $468.00 per year for 1 account. Up to 15 people allowed.
  • The BEST conferencing phone feature, very easy.
  • The is a small download when presenting, so that is a downside.

Fuze Meeting

  • A very good service overall BUT 120 minutes is the max amount per month on the conference line (toll free line or fetch feature.) 6 cents per minute adds up! They should make this unlimited for paying users.
  • They have many price options.
  • The record feature never seemed to work for me.
  • Great Skype integration.

WebEx

  • $49 per month.
  • Per pay annually $39 per month.

Feel free to let me know of any others and I’ll include them in this blog post.
