I just developed a service that allows you to send faxes from your iPhone! not only that, but you can receive faxes to your iPhone on your fax phone number. Isn't that amazing What is more amazing is it's a free trial offer for 90 days and then it's only $14.99 per month afterwards. www.TMSI.ca

Another great feature on our Samsung telephone system is when you listen to voice mail message on your telephone you can just press the call button and it will dial back the person that left you the message automatically because it grabs it from the caller ID information that came into the switch. fantastic feature!

Sometimes the blog space does not allow me to go on too far on my comments. So here you go. All the newest business phone systems from smaller newer players are by default VoIP, packet based switches entirely. That's because they are less expensive to make some of the parts now and are the coming thing. However, the environment that they go into has to often be overhauled with new cabling, IP subnet reservations, integration with the IT department or contractors, new POE (power over ethernet ) switches, special adpaters for paging and door phones and analog devices, when really, all this is accomplished by installing a dual mode system like the SAMSUNG OfficeServ7000 series. I install hundreds of these and almost always I install digital phones to the desktop. That means phones that don't need to be moved out side the office environment, Then I install IP phones for mobile and remote workers and of course IP based SIP TRUNKS to greatly lower the cost of trunking. PRESTO! The BEST of both Worlds. The Cisco and Shoretel technology model are disruptive and un-necessary, not to mention expensive. The VoIP System Manufacturers need all kinds of adapters to use inplace CAT3 cabling and on and on. Sure in a Lab they work as well as Samsung and need no more or less retrograding or environmental refitting than Samsung OffServ7000. Who works in a Lab? Most business owners and managers are being spoon fed dis-information to allow these newer players to sell boxes. Auto Dealers coming back from Conferences are all told by the Cisco Keynote Speakers that ya gotta go with IP technology. So they go back and get quotes on IP ONLY technology not knowing any better. I get the push to sell the newest latest greatest, but what about the customer who doesn't know better? That's why I usually listen - then lead with a dual mode solution at a lower price. Find me on Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Buzz and www.tmsi.ca!

I just returned from a technology road show in Richmond, British Columbia today. I can honestly say that our Samsung product line still is miles ahead of what most of these smaller vendors and even larger vendors are bringing to the table.

Now that my business is fully into providing business dial tone via flex line for businesses in Canada, we are noticing a lot of interesting and suspicious ads on the radio from Shaw and Rogers See my YouTube videos on our website for more detail about how the business deal from Shaw is not such a great deal at all, even though it does put Telus to shame. More on deals that are no deal later

Some exciting news to share this week, we were able to successfully deploy a Samsung business telephone system with flex lines. We connected the phone system up to a Rogers mobile Internet stick called a rocket stick. What that means is we were able to get a complete business phone system working with not much more than a power outlets in less than 20 min.
