Many small businesses have a landline and then the obligatory fax line to the side. They do this to ensure that they never miss a fax by showing an engaged tone and this costs them $30 – odd per month in line rental. With the growth in email dependancy, the fax line is getting quieter and all it really is to many is just a spare line.

Fax to email is a great solution to this. For a much smaller monthly fee (depending on volume), you can have your faxes received into your email inbox. Benefits include:

• Fax line is never engaged
• Fax can be received when away
• Fax can be received at different locations (eg. small home based partnerships or staff working from home)
• No need for a dedicated phone line

Fax to email can be setup reasonably easily. You can retain your fax number and Telcotalk can take care of all the details. For more information, give us a call.

1. The Small Office Fax Setup

All our ADSL plans can be seen here

The nuts and bolts of the product and some differentiators  include:

• Super fast download and upload speeds
• Business grade service with 99.3% guaranteed up time
• Static IP address included free with all  ADSL 2+ plans with Telcotalk
• Shaped and unshaped plans available

What’s the difference between ADSL1 and ADSL2+

One word – SPEED!

Without getting too technical, ADSL1 is a technology that allows faster data transmission over copper telephone lines by making use of frequecies not used in voice telephone calls. ADSL2+ has the potential to double this frequency, therefore making it possible to achieve theoretical maximum speeds of up to 24 Mbps as opposed to 12 Mbps on ADSL2 and 1.5 Mbps on ADSL1

These advertised speeds are subject to speed drops the further you are away from the exchange, that is why they are called ‘theoretical maximums’.

This is a great product and with availability in 1760 exchanges across Australia, Telcotalk can get you set up on your ADSL2+ plan in no time!

Every organisation has a network. Telcotalk wants to engage this network and in return provide funds back to the organisation on a monthly basis.

What Type of Organisation?

Any group that provides for the support or development of a group of children is eligible for this initiative. Examples can include:

• Schools – P&F groups
• Kids Sporting Groups
• Scouts/Girl Guide Groups
• Dance Schools
• Church Groups
• Any other children’s activity organisation

How does it work?

Any member of the organisation that is a customer of Telcotalk locks in a donation of 5% of whatever they spend on their phone services each month with Telcotalk. Telcotalk guarantees that their rates will be the same or cheaper than what they are currently paying so the individual will not be disadvantaged at all. However they will be contributing financially to the organisation without having to think about it.

For more information visit Telcotalk for Kids

We are really excited by this. If you would like to speak with someone from Telcotalk about this program, please call 1300 720 591 or email enquiries@telcotalk.com.au

Flip Camera’s are small video cameras that fit in your pocket, similar in size to a mobile phone, but as powerful as a full on camcorder. In fact thats what they are. The video quality is great – HD is available in their range, and they can store up to an hours footage (2GB) on their inbuilt flash drive.

When it’s time to access the video on your computer, at the push of a button a USB plug flips out from the side of the camera and it can plug straight in to your PC or mac. Here’s the best part though. The editing software is in the camera. This means that it doesn’t matter what computer you are on, you have access to an editing suite that you are familiar with and can get your video off the camera and edited as you like, ready for your presentation, for a client or even to directly send to Youtube.

We love them, and can’t rave enough. So much so we’ve decided to give a Flip Mino away to every new customer or every existing customer that wants to agree to a 24 month term on their land line. Full details of the offer and full flip camera specs can be seen here.

If you simply want to buy one outright you can get them from the crew at www.itmadesimple.com

Any questions, please call 1300 720 591 or email flip@telcotalk.com.au

Inbound 1300/1800 numbers show your customers how serious you are about your business – its your way of opening the door as they enter…virtually of course! Inbound numbers also provide your business with a vast amount of flexibility and an inbound routing package will ensure you never miss a call.

Inbound numbers are an ideal way of gaining that competitive edge when advertising in local or interstate markets. Imagine if you are looking for a plumber. You might go to the local yellow pages and look up plumbers where you will get a list of plumber’s advertisements. Some contact numbers will be landlines, some will be mobiles , and perhaps an inbound number will be there. As a consumer, who needs a plumber and knows nothing about the plumbers on offer, which number would you pick to call first? My guess would be the inbound number as the business looks bigger and the prospect knows that this call will likely be the cheapest one to make.

Inbound numbers operate as virtual services. Incoming calls are redirected to an existing business land line, fax line or mobile phone anywhere in Australia. The answer point can (but doesn’t have to) vary dependent upon location of originating caller, the time of day the call was made or upon rotation.

Inbound numbers are completely transferable. Your inbound number can last the life of your business, great for future expansion or relocation.

If you would like some more information on Inbound numbers and how they can benefit your business, call Telcotalk on 1300 720 591
