Our vendor suggested we switch the small business phones to IP phones. We are expanding from 12 employees to 18. What are IP phones?

An IP phone uses Voice over IP technologies allowing telephone calls to be made over an IP network such as the internet instead of the ordinary phone systems. Basically, the calls are made digitally versus through the traditional analog phone service. The MAIN result, is a cheaper bill to you the consumer. i own a business providing IP phones to businesses and residential customers. If you are interested in converting your system, please email me and i will do a cost analysis for you and tell you what all of your cost for the conversion would be. (jnmccluney@yahoo.com)

I’m trying to understand what a PBX or Asterisk server is. I don’t understand the explanations I’ve found on websites via Google or wikipedia because they use too many technology words I’m unfamiliar with (eg. voip gateways, IP-PBX, conference servers etc…)

Basically, I told a friend that I have a small business with 10 freelance programmers. It would be great if my business had one phone number like 111-222-3333, and each freelancer can have an extension that routes to their cell phone. That way, freelancers never have to expose their personal phone number to the clients. My friend told me to look into setting up an Asterisks server. But in my research, I can’t tell if Asterisks will do what I need.

Can someone explain to me, as if I were 12 years old, what an Asterisk is and whether it will do what I need? Are there other "cool" things an Asterisk server can do for my business?

Asterisk is simply an open-source implementation of a PBX or virtual PBX phone system. See Wikipedia or visit Asterisk’s website for more info.

I would like to start an online company. My goal is to eventually make six or more figures a year. I have two ideas, 1 being a interactive type of site, and 2 being a standard online business. I’m not sure which one is profitable.

1. A website where people can siign up for free and sell, list, buy, trade, and auction off their websites and or domain names. Users would be charged a small fee to post a listing. They could then post info and photos of their site and people can buy the site for a buy now price, or get entered into an auction. I would have account ratings and telephone verification to help with security. There is already a site called flippa.com that does everything I just mentioned. The reason why people don’t like flippa is because the listing fee is to high. If I can lower th fee, and implement a marketing plan, I will have success. Flippa makes 4-5k a day just from advertisiments on their site. There are currently pre made scripts available for this type of site, and they only cost $60. The problem is, it is not a professional site, and I’m worried about bugs with the script. If I wanted to make this site, should I buy the pre made scripts, have an elance person build an okay site for $1000, or hire a web design firm to build a top notch site for 10k? I am a teen, so my startup cash is limited.

Pros- limited competition, huge potential
Cons- huge startup
2. I would start a web hosting company by reselling web hosting plans. I would join a companies reseller program, and create a website and promote hosting plans. The company keeps the wholesale cost, and I keep the markup. So if it’s 40 a year and I mark up to 65 a year, I keep 25 a year for that customer. It is recurring income. If I get a modest 2 people per day, I would have 730 clients by the end of the year. That means for the next year, I am making 18k from the people from the first year, while also gaining new clients. So every year, assuming that the client still is hosting with us, I am getting an additional 18k. So I’m making tons of money for years to come. I have heard of host gator and resellers panel which I think has good reseller plans. Resellerspanel has great profits and you get unlimited domains, a website to promote your company, 24/7/365 support, and marketing tools. Resellerspanel does not use cpanel though. They have their own site builder and control panel system which is a problem for clients who want or need cpanel. Host gator costs more than resellers panel, does not host as much space, but does come with cpanel. Would you recommend I use resellers panel, or any other hosting company.

Pros- super low startup costs, just need to promote, work any hours
Cons- a lot of competition, but hey, if you attract people to your site first and they like your plans, you get their sale.

Which idea is more profitable. Do you think any could make me six or more figures a year? Thanks.

You should make free hosts to get traffic 1st then main host to cost money.

I sell various consumer technology products and I need to know what business phone system must I have?

For me, virtual pbx phone system is the best for small business. PBX can be installed easily, besides it has a far more powerful, flexible and automated call answering features, call messaging and call routing.

I own a small business who only deals with customers on phone and internet, I want help with payment systems if i want to have someone sort of payment solution/system where my customers can make payments to me anytime of the day using there bank /credit cards? Where do I go and search..Anyone can help me with this?

Paypal, click2sell, payforit, linkpoint or alertpay. For prompt payment, ensure you automate billing/invoice. Paypal is too big to for most small businesses, and their dispute resolution is almost worthless.

I think it’s about being independent and not following others.
But If you look at the music video it shows an innocent little kid who got too much power and turned out to be an evil dictator type person. So having to much power and control is bad. or it’s about chosing the right path in life.

Hello,

I am looking into a PBX solution for a small business.
It appears that most virtual PBX solutions provide you a toll-free or a local number which ‘forwards’ the calls to your actual phone.

The problem is I do not want a ‘new’ number, because most callers would call to the existing phone number.

Is there any virtual PBX that work with an existing phone number? i.e. to set it up in a way that callers call to the existing business number and they are greeted with the extension option of the PBX.

Please share your inputs. Thanks!

Yes, companies are required by law to allow you to transfer your number to any carrier, however, it’s in my experience that local numbers do little for companies. It’s great to have one if you’re a small little shop in a small little town but if you’re looking to grow your business a toll free number is the only way to go. In my experience the top providers of your most basic service plans would be AT&T, Opex or TollFreeNumber.org. If you’re looking for a more complex system with extensions or other features VirtualTelecenter.com has that covered with some of the industry’s lowest rates. I hope this helps. I believe all of those providers can also port local numbers but you might want to call and find out. I work for Verizon but the major phone providers have been shying away from toll free numbers for the last couple of years in favor of their own cellular plans otherwise I’d recommend us.
Hope that helps!
