Two Google Secrets to Smart Mobile Phone Efficiency - Save Time and Money!

New Voice-mail

The limitations of traditional voice-mail can be frustrating to users who use it frequently.

The number of people who are doing business while on the go is exponentially increasing. This means that it is crucial for people to be able to have access to their voice-mail at all times, whether it be for family, friends, or clients. This is challenging because of the current standards. Google and several other providers now offer services that change the way we know voice-mail today. With these services, your messages don't have to be deleted after 90 days, stay with your phone provider, and only be accessible with your phone.

Here are some features that these voice-mail services offer:

Listen to them on your computerListen to them on any mobile phoneTake them with you when you change phone providersGet Email alerts when new ones arriveGet text message alerts when new ones arriveForward them to friends, family, or co-workersRead them from your EmailRead them from text messagesListen to only sections of themSearch an index of them from the webKeep them long as you like

Think about the opportunities a new type of voice-mail service provides. You no longer need to step out of a meeting when your kids, your spouse, or your boss calls. Instead, you can read their voice-mail without disrupting everyone around you.

Sync Your Data

Do you rely on smartphones in your daily activities? When you get a new phone, it can be time-consuming to re-enter your contacts, calendars, and Emails. Similarly, many people find it time-consuming to delete Emails off their phone and then again on their computer. This is especially true if an individual relies on their smartphone's calendar features while on the go or for work. It can be painstaking to either manually duplicate every entry, or to physically plug-in the device to a computer and hit all the right buttons/keys to sync calendars, contacts, and Emails.

There are many free and paid solutions that synchronize contacts, calendars and Emails across multiple phones, computers, and web mail devices, without your repeated manual labor. This means that if you add an appointment on your phone's calendar, it will instantly add events to the calendar on your computer. Upon proper setup, your BlackBerry, iPod, iPad, work computer, laptop and web mail should all contain your Emails, Contacts and Calendars while wirelessly communicating, updating, and adding items, so you don't have to.
