Two Little Known Facts About VOIP To Make It Even More Useful To You

You probably already know what VOIP is the technology that allows you to make and receive telephone calls by use of a reliable high-speed Internet connection at your home or office. You probably already know that if your high-speed internet connection is not rock solid, stable, and reliable without dropping out frequently, your VOIP service is not going to be at a level where you can really depend on it, and that aspect of VOIP is not the problem of the VOIP provider, but is an issue that you need to take up with whatever company is providing you with high-speed Internet access.

You already know that VOIP will not work well with a satellite Internet connection, and hopefully did not discover that the hard way. And you may have already discovered that when your high-speed internet service goes down, your VOIP phone is not useable at all, which can be a danger if you are in a situation where you need to call 911 in case of some type of emergency.

And you may have already received your VOIP billing statement, where you only paid $17 or $20 for the month, even though you had 1800 minutes of long distance calling from your wife to her brother on the other side of the country and from you to your sister down south somewhere, even though neither one of them have a VOIP phone. What a pleasant surprise to discover such a low bill when that same 1800 minutes of long distance with your phone from the phone company was well over $75.

You find it so nice to have caller ID on your VOIP phone so you can see who is calling, and calling waiting so that you can put a caller on hold while you answer another incoming call, and having voice mail that you can access from anywhere, and all those features of your VOIP service are standard features that you do not pay extra for, whereas you used to pay the big bucks to the phone company for similar features.

Can it get any better than that? Yes it can and we will talk about two features of VOIP that many people are not aware of that makes your VOIP service even more useful.

Plug In Anywhere

When you travel to your parent's house across the state or fly to your in-laws house across the country, or even when you travel out of town and are stuck in a hotel for a few days, you can take your phone and your phone number with you, if you have VOIP.

Simply plug your adapter box for your VOIP phone into a spare jack on the router for the high-speed internet connection where you are. It doesn't matter that your parents use Comcast and you use Charter for your high-speed Internet, or that you have cable Internet and they have DSL internet, as long as it is reliable and stable, you are set.

Once you are plugged in, you are now making and receiving calls at your regular phone number! For example, even if you live in Chicago and you are plugged into your parent's high-speed internet connection at their home in Phoenix, your VOIP phone still rings when somebody calls your VOIP Chicago number.

For hotels, this presents a bit more of a problem if the hotel only offers wireless internet access. It can still be done but requires a bit more that is beyond the scope of this article. But if, for example, your Denver hotel room has a wired high-speed connection, you can do the same thing with your VOIP phone.

Virtual Numbers

Let's say you live in Orlando so your VOIP phone has an Orlando phone number. But your parents do not have a VOIP phone and live in Houston, and your wife's parents live in Seattle and don't have a VOIP phone either. Many VOIP providers offer what is known as a "Virtual Number" at very minimal monthly cost. So you have your Orlando VOIP phone number, and you also have a phone number that is local for Houston and another phone number that is local for Seattle.

What happens is that your parents or your wife's parents can call a local number so they are not paying long distance charges, and your VOIP phone in Orlando will ring when they call you!

Discover all the things that you can do with your VOIP phone to make it even more useful than you have already found it to be!

Putt the Ball in the Hole

The strokes you take on the green during your golf game wind up being about 40 percent of your score. wild, isn't it? We spend $500 on drivers to gain 10 yards and give it all away in just one or two three-putts and/or missed four-footers. As a corollary, we could use a 1970's laminated driver with some knock-off, found-in-the-garage irons and score the same as our most technologically advanced pals if we just shaved a few strokes off our putting game.

I know, "Drive for show, putt for dough." is what the guys that can't hit the bomb are always saying. I know that the guy that pounds it farthest is "The man". OK. I have been playing for over forty years and am on average one the longest hitters in the groups I hang with. That being said, my best rounds (and most Nassau wins) have been when I reign in the big swing and drain some putts.

over the last twenty-five years my handicap has remained fairly constant around twelve to thirteen. That has been in the face of declining frequency of play and plowing through the fifty year-old barrier. How? Putting!

Putting is simply a combination of three key ingredients:

  1. Mind
  2. Reading
  3. Execution

In this article I address the mind. No smoke, no mirrors, just how you mentally approach your putting.

Some years ago, I was reading some self-improvement books and came upon one that was something like "Learn While You Sleep". I just tried to find it by goggling and couldn't locate the exact book. That is not important. What is important is not the techniques taught in the book, but the concept that I came away with and have held ever since. The book was about letting your subconscious train your conscience during sleep, but I found that I could convince myself of certain things while fully conscious. this is the old "talk yourself into it" concept.

Years after I read this book and while putting on a practice green, I drained a few 20 footers. I stepped back and realized that before I had made those putts, I expected that they were going to fall. The hole was huge, the ball was a bee-bee and my putter was a target rifle. Without realizing it, I had convinced myself of future success.

If you believe you will make the putt, you will have a great chance of making that putt. If you can't find that comfort, step back and gain the confidence. If you can't get it during that round, fine, get on the practice green later and gain it. If I did this with my garage-sale putter, lack of confidence, and intermittent jeering of pals, you easily can do it.

As positive as this article is, I hate to bring in the negative. I do so only to remind you of what you have felt so many times. "I can't make this putt but I hope to get it close enough so that I have a gimmee." "It's down hill with a good bit of break; hope I can two-putt it."

Horse manure! You own the green! Three-putt? That is what your opponents do. You are a putting machine. Your putts eat the holes up. Now go out there and prove yourself correct. Stayed tuned for the next two articles on reading greens and then the technique to swat that beebee in the bushel basket.
