Are you looking for lower cost home and small office phone service with cheap long distance rates? How does $8.33 a month sound for unlimited calling to the US and Canada? Yes, Phone Power is offering a limited time special offer that truly can’t be beat. This is residential VoIP Internet phone service that shares the broadband connection you use with your computers. It also works for small

Broadband at work or at home makes using the Internet such a pleasure. Most everyone now has a wireless router to distribute their broadband connection to desktop, laptop and notebook computers, plus tablets, e-readers and games. But what happens when you leave the building? Oh, oh. Nothing connects anymore. What you’d really like to have is a giant hotspot that goes where you go. You may be

Walk into any cellular phone store or big box electronics retailer and you can get a brand new cell phone in pristine condition, ready to go, from one of the major carriers. Just try and walk out with that phone before signing your life away for two years and listen to the security alarms go off. Aside from pay as you go cell phone plans, you need to make a major commitment to get a cell phone

You know that you should recycle electronics to keep from generating toxic waste in the landfill. In fact, you can get paid for used laptops online, and easily drop off cell phones and laptop batteries at some of the big box retailers for proper recycling at no cost to you. But did you know that there is a way to be green when buying new electronics and get yourself a big discount at the same

We’re outraged! Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO, shocked and horrified the world with his bravado-laden “home video” of him brutally sneaking up on and shooting an African elephant in the dark of night. Based on expert review of the footage, it now looks likes he destroyed a young female elephant rather than the supposed dangerous bull he was tracking. Even more shame for Mr. Parsons, but the end of

You know Bob Parsons. He’s the bigger than life “Go Daddy” CEO of GoDaddy.com. Everybody who builds websites or otherwise does business on the Web knows of and has probably bought at least one domain from GoDaddy.com. Parsons has built an empire from popularizing the once obscure and nerdy business of domain name registration. You’ve surely seen his “Go Daddy Girls” on Super Bowl commercials,

You’ve heard that VoIP phone service can save you money compared to many traditional landline plans. Now, if there was only a way to compare VoIP phone service plans so that it would be easy to pick the right one for your needs. You’re in luck! Just such a service exists. It is called Affordable VoIP. It takes only a few seconds to pick the type of plans you are interested in and get a list of

When you think of RAM, it’s generally along the lines of wishing you could afford more for your laptop or desktop computer. But there’s another type of ram out there that you want nothing to do with. It’s the Firesheep - a serious, serious threat to your privacy. What’s a Firesheep? It’s a plug-in for the Firefox browser. Fox... Sheep... Get it? Sounds like a joke, but this malicious software is

Are you always on the lookout for free cell phones? Do you hope that one you like will be free when your old contract expires and you can move up to a new phone? Well, relax. There are lots and lots of free cell phones available all the time... if you know where to look. The place to look is the free phones section of Cell Phone Plan Finder.

Have you been ignored by the telephone and Cable companies building out their broadband networks? Or are you just frustrated by high prices and inadequate bandwidth? Well, you may be really interested in 4G wireless broadband Internet. What’s 4G and why is it better? This is a new technology that goes by the name of WiMAX. It works something like a WiFi hotspot, but a hotspot that covers an

Thinking about getting a new cell phone or perhaps your first cell phone? There are basically two ways you can go. The first is with a traditional cell phone plan. You pay for a certain number of minutes per month whether you use them or not. In return for signing a two year contract, you get a deep discount on your cell phone or perhaps a free cell phone. The second option is to pay for your

Here’s a 1 week special offer that will snag you a $50 Visa Gift Card when you buy an AT&T Smartphone from Let's Talk online. This offer is only valid from 12/22 to 12/28 (2009) and is for new activations only. Look for the smartphones tab and the special gift card banner on qualifying phones.

I don’t have to tell you that money is tight this holiday season. We all may have to throttle back on the lavish gift giving, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get together with the family for a good time. No matter what your budget, here’s a solution that will unite the tribe. How can that be with the price of flying or even driving more than we care to spend? Oh, don’t travel physically. Instead,

If you are an independent professional or run a home based business, you know that things have been getting quieter lately. Qualified prospects just aren’t falling all over themselves to beat a path to your door. You could shrug and write it off to the weak economy. Or, you could take action to get more people calling.

You know how sweet it is to get new electronic gear. Gotta have a better cell phone every 2 years. Computers are only good for a few years or until they try to make you upgrade the operating system. Gaming consoles? Only the latest will do. OK, but how do you get rid of the old stuff? Oh, you don’t? I guess that explains all the gear crammed into your closet and that pile of stuff in the

Want a cool phone? How about a phone that looks cool? Not just the latest in-demand wireless device, but one that actually looks like it might be cool to the touch. That’s the Sony Ericsson w350 Ice Blue for AT&T. Here’s something else cool. It’s FREE. The Sony W350 is a totally hip, half-flip. What’s that mean? It’s a design borrowed from earlier cell phones. Only the bottom half flips up and

Money's so tight, it's hard to even get a loan. So why would you pay for a cellular phone? It's always been smart to search high and low for the best price on any new cell phone you're considering. But now it's a downright necessity. I'll suggest to you that there really is only one price to consider: FREE. That's right. You do not have to pay for your next cell phone. Not when there are 180 of

Mother's Day is coming up again. You know she'd love to hear from you. But, oh, the expense of making an overseas phone call. You check your budget and wince. If only there was a cheaper way to call out of the country and still get high quality connections. Well, now there is! The service you want is TEL3Advantage. It's what's called a pre-paid dial-around long distance service. That's a

We live in a dangerous world. You get reminded of this every time you open the newspaper or turn on the TV news. There is a constant undercurrent of local crime that includes burglary and home invasion. If you've ever been a victim of someone entering your house and stealing something or causing damage, you know how unsettling and insecure it makes you feel. If you've ever been attacked... well,

You call toll free numbers all the time for business, but have you ever considered having one for your family? Here's why this makes sense. Toll free service has gotten so cheap that anyone can get one for themselves. What toll free numbers are good for is getting people to call you who might not otherwise because of the cost. Who's that? Students away from home are a prime example, and if

I just got the word that AT&T is waiving the activation fee for new wireless customers through Midnight on Sunday, March 22. If you've been pondering a new AT&T cell phone with service this year, here's your incentive to act now. Hey, that's $36 you get to keep in your pocket. Now considering that you can get many hot AT&T cell phones for free and others at deep discounts, this special offer is

Where do you find the cheapest home phone services? The low cost provider for many consumers is now a competitive VoIP provider. But do you know were to find the best deals on VoIP service? They're not necessarily the ones you see on TV. VoIP is something fairly new in the telephone business. It stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. That's a hint as to how it works.

Did you say that you are shopping for a cell phone? Great! You'll find more models with more features than ever before. But where are you doing your shopping? Visiting the retail stores? That's fine. Check out all the phones. Play with the store models. Ask questions. But whatever you do, don't buy anything. That may sound down right un-American in these tortured economic times. Every business
