Reduce Monthly Living Expenses by Changing to Prepaid Long Distance

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Many believe that traditional home phone service is an unnecessary expense for those who also have cell phone service. However, in many instances, keeping a traditional home phone is a sensible option since it is cheaper than paying for expensive cell phone air time when receiving calls, calling toll free numbers or making local calls. Also, it may be necessary to have a landline for emergencies (911 calls) or for alarm systems or other monitoring devices. However, many people can significantly reduce living expenses with no loss in service by replacing traditional long distance phone service with a prepaid long distance plan.

In most cases using prepaid long distance is a far cheaper option than using traditional long distance from the phone company. Prepaid long distance like that offered by Tel3Advantage is very convenient and costs nothing if it is not used. Consumers save money because they only pay for calls they actually make and these are charged at dirt cheap rates with no taxes or added fees. Tel3Advantage only charges 1.9 cents per minute for long distance calls made to North American (USA and Canada) destinations. This means that a consumer can use more than 500 minutes for a mere $10. Rates are slightly higher for international calls depending on the location called but they are up to 95% cheaper than those charged by the phone company or cell phone service provider. It is also easy to open an account and there is nothing to change and no contract, monthly fee or other long term obligation. Tel3 Advantage prepaid long distance can be used from any phone or with any existing phone service. The same prepaid plan also travels so users can make cheap long distance calls from hotels or business phones when they are away from home. It is also ideal for people who want to make cheap international calls from their cell phones.  Using the Tel3 Smart Plug technology, direct dial international calls can be made over the Tel3 network from Smart Phones at no additional cost.  All Tel3Advantage customers have access to SMART Plug technology which can be used by downloading a small piece of software to their SMART Phones.

 

A Tel3Advantage account can be opened by visiting the Tel3Advantage website or calling 800 441 0321.

Is Your Criminal Record Holding You Back?

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

With the availability of online information many people assume it is possible to get free criminal record information simply by looking on the internet. But there is no guarantee that the databases available in this way are current. The data they contain may very well be out of date or incomplete. You simply do not know.

Access criminal records for free - There really isn’t a reliable free criminal record search but I did find some excellent criminal records services for a low one-time fee.

This means that for people who have access to these mountains of information, background checks are easily accessed on the internet simply by having a membership. A membership gives you access to instant reports that provide information pertaining to criminal records, lawsuits, sex offenses, present address and address histories and the person’s relatives or acquaintances for up to a thirty year history.

This helps a great deal in making the decision of who should or should not be hired. Although, a typical membership usually costs a small fee, it is a very small price for safeguarding your business or family when, for instance you want to hire someone to do domestic work for you.

Debt Harassment Not Allowed by Fair Debt Rules

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Did you know that the FDCPA (the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) strictly regulates the practices of debt collectors and collection agencies and states that unreasonably aggressive or misleading collection practices are against the law?

We have all heard about debt collectors using threats to pry money out of people, but threats by debt collectors are generally considered unlawful. For instance, they cannot threaten that nonpayment will result in imprisonment, garnishment, or attachment.

East Coast Commercial Finance Offers Good Alternative

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Since residential loans are smaller, there are naturally more institutions able to compete in the market. But commercial financing products usually involve very large amounts of money, so many small institutions can’t keep up.

This makes the market less competitive compared to the many institutions that fight for the residential market share. Large banks are in the forefront of commercial lending, increasing their bottom line. This is a boon to bank stockholders and management alike.

East Coast Commercial Finance offers a more flexible and personable alternative to the large banks.
