Communications

The theme today seems to be communications - I had to fiddle with my old fax to try to get an incoming fax & finally resorted to my free efax acct. (go to efax.com). The fax then shows up in my email. They will give you a free number that people can fax to - but it's not local.  You have to pay for a local one. I use it so rarely, it doesn't matter. (And we use the old fax to fax OUT - as scanning to fax out is a pain!)

Ah! the electronic cottage!

Also now have another # at k7.com for filling out pesky forms, etc. A free small (20 msg) answering service! They just want you to use it and keep it current! (a Seattle # for me).

And ran across slydial - where you dial 267-SLYDIAL + the U.S. number to bypass the person & go right to their voicemail! A way to return calls without having to wait until the middle of the night!

AND Vistaprint.com is having another one of its big sales. I ordered a musical tshirt for my husband just for shipping.  And they also have postcard, business cards - even with your photos!  A great deal.

Also, sometime ago I mentioned that you can get free postcards at hippomail.com - I haven't perfected that - it's one of my projects...

Well, I did get a musical gig for the holiday because of old connections (I vow to get better with my recordkeeping!) Now to practice....

Some tips on free/budget means of communication!

I need the kiss (keep it simple stupid) method of explanations. In what ways is sly dial used?

You are right - slydial is a way to go right to someone's voicemail bypassing any chance of getting a human whether they are there or NOT. Sometimes you would just rather talk to a machine & now you won't have to call in the middle of the night for that.
